As you can tell, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GX-1S having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony T110 will result in greater detail having an extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older GX-1S will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
