Normally, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements just by viewing specs. The photograph below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the LX100 and DP1.

All in all, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The LX100 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh harder and the Panasonic LX100 will result in extra detail utilizing its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The newer LX100 provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
