In many cases, it is very tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by looking through technical specs. The image here might provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the GH2 and WX150.

As you can tell, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GH2 with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony WX150 will result in greater detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged GH2 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
