Often, its tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions purely by looking at specifications. The pic here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the GH4 and NX10.
Plainly, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GH4 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Panasonic GH4 will resolve greater detail due to its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics way more aggressively. The fresher GH4 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
