Quite often, it is tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The picture underneath might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 8000 and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 8000 using its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh harder and the Olympus 8000 will give you greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 8000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
