More often than not, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions simply by seeing a spec sheet. The image below will offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC and NEX-5N.
Clearly, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony NEX-5N will show greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
