Normally, it can be difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizing just by seeing specifications. The visual here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FX75 and GH1.

Plainly, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The FX75 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic FX75 will produce extra detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger FX75 will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
