Clearly, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GX-1L with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Sony T99 will give you more detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged GX-1L is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
