Typically, it's hard to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions just by seeing specifications. The picture below may give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the GX1 and NX10.

To sum up, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The GX1 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic GX1 will show greater detail as a result of its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more modern GX1 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
