To sum up, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The GF6 because of its bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Panasonic GF6 will produce extra detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer GF6 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
