Typically, its hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading specs. The picture here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the GF6 and LX10.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The GF6 because of its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Panasonic LX10 will deliver greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged GF6 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
