In many cases, it is very difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizes merely by viewing specs. The image below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the XG-1 and GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC.
As you can plainly see, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Pentax XG-1 to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The newer XG-1 is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
