Plainly, both cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GX9 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Panasonic GX9 will deliver more detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more modern GX9 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
