Here's how the sensors of the GM1, Olympus E-M1, and Sony NEX-5R compare:

DxOMark Comparisons

As you can see, your Sony's sensor is better at low light than that of the GM1.

Please don't rely on the overall score which is not accurate in most situations. Instead look at the graphs/actual measurements. You will quickly see that all are very close and almost over lapping, so in real life there will be no noticeable difference.  Since the question was comparing an M43 lens with a slightly larger aperture to an APS lens, any difference should be erased.

What is amazing is how much better then E-M1 DR is than the 5R proving sensor size does not dictate which is best.
