Sometimes, it's difficult to imagine the difference between sensor measurements merely by going over technical specs. The graphic here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the FS7 and GX1.

As you can tell, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The FS7 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Panasonic GX1 will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The older FS7 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
