Sometimes, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor sizes merely by looking through specifications. The pic below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the GF6 and ZS50.

Plainly, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The GF6 having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic GF6 will result in extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged GF6 will be behind in sensor innovation.
