More often than not, it can be difficult to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading technical specs. The image here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the GF7 and fp.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The GF7 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sigma fp will offer you extra detail using its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged GF7 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
