Usually, it's hard to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading specs. The picture below will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the GX-1S and WB2200F.

All in all, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The GX-1S due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Samsung WB2200F will deliver greater detail having its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged GX-1S is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
