Quite often, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by viewing a spec sheet. The pic below may give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the GF7 and fp L.

Clearly, the two cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GF7 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Sigma fp L will provide you with greater detail with its extra 45 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged GF7 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
