Normally, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes only by reviewing a spec sheet. The image underneath will provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the Q-S1 and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.

Clearly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Pentax Q-S1 to deliver extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Q-S1 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
