Typically, its tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizing purely by looking through specifications. The visual here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the GX9 and WX350.

Plainly, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The GX9 due to its larger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Panasonic GX9 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger GX9 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
