In many cases, it is difficult to picture the difference between sensor dimensions only by looking at technical specs. The image here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the F5 and LX100.

As you can tell, the two cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The F5 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh harder and the Panasonic F5 will give you more detail due to its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged F5 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
