Normally, it can be difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizing just by reviewing specifications. The photograph here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the GF6 and HX200V.

Plainly, the two cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The GF6 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Sony HX200V will offer greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The more modern GF6 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
