More often than not, its hard to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes simply by looking at a spec sheet. The picture here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-4000 and GX-1S.

Clearly, both of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FE-4000 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Olympus FE-4000 will give you greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The fresher FE-4000 should have an edge in sensor tech.
