Generally, it is hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizing merely by looking at technical specs. The visual here might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the GH4 and K110D.

As you have seen, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The GH4 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Panasonic GH4 will resolve extra detail using its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more modern GH4 should have an edge in sensor tech.
