Sometimes, it is difficult to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading through technical specs. The image below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the GF1 and fp.

As you can tell, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The GF1 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Sigma fp will give you greater detail utilizing its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged GF1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
