In many cases, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizes merely by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the GX-10 and HX1.

Clearly, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The GX-10 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Samsung GX-10 will offer you more detail having an extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged GX-10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
