Clearly, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GX9 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic GX9 will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The fresher GX9 provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
