In many cases, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking specifications. The photograph here might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 1s and GX-10.

Plainly, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 1s using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Olympus 1s will resolve greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The fresher 1s should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
