The GX8 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony ZV-E10 will offer more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older GX8 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
