Before we go straight into a detailed comparison, below is a quick view of how the GX-10 grades versus the QX10 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Typically, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing only by reviewing specifications. The photograph underneath may give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the GX-10 and QX10.

To sum up, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The GX-10 having a larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony QX10 will offer you greater detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older GX-10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
