As you can see, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The FE-45 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Panasonic GX9 will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged FE-45 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
