Panasonic FX75 vs Panasonic GM5 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes purely by reviewing technical specs. The picture here might offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FX75 and GM5.

As you can tell, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FX75 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Panasonic GM5 will deliver more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos more aggressively. The more aged FX75 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
