Normally, it is hard to imagine the difference in sensor measurements only by going through technical specs. The photograph here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the GX85 and NX200.

As you can tell, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The GX85 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Samsung NX200 will provide greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more modern GX85 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
