Generally, its difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizing merely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual below may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the GX-10 and T900.

Clearly, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The GX-10 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Sony T900 will give greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images more aggressively. The older GX-10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
