Typically, it is difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizes just by viewing specifications. The pic here will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the G6 and NX10.

Plainly, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G6 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Panasonic G6 will result in greater detail with its extra 1MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The fresher G6 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
