In many cases, it can be hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by reviewing technical specs. The visual here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the GX9 and G10.

As you can tell, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Panasonic GX9 to offer more detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics more aggressively. The younger GX9 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
