Usually, it can be difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements purely by seeing technical specs. The photograph underneath will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the GF5 and LX10.

As you can tell, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GF5 having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic LX10 will show extra detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older GF5 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
