The GF6 was brought out 21 months before the TS6 which makes them a generation away from each other. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic GF6 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic TS6 being a Compact camera.

Before diving right into a in depth comparison, here is a brief overview of how the GF6 grades against the TS6 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Often, it is difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions purely by going over a spec sheet. The picture below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the GF6 and TS6.

As you can see, both of the cameras feature the identical resolution albeit different sensor dimensions. The GF6 comes with the bigger sensor which is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler. The more aged GF6 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
