All in all, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The GX9 because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Panasonic GX9 will show more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more modern GX9 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
