Generally, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions simply by looking through specifications. The picture underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the GX85 and fp L.
Plainly, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The GX85 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sigma fp L will render greater detail using its extra 45 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged GX85 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
