Panasonic GF1 has a
12.0MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Venus Engine HD processor. On the other hand, Panasonic GF6 has a
16.0MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Venus Engine FHD processor.
Below you can see the GF1 and GF6 sensor size comparison.
Panasonic GF1 and Panasonic GF6 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Panasonic GF1 has 31% larger pixel area compared to Panasonic GF6, it has potential to collect more light on pixel level hence have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
