Often, it is hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading technical specs. The pic underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the GX1 and A6600.

As you can tell, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The GX1 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A6600 will deliver extra detail having its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged GX1 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
