On second thoughts, after some more comparisons, especially at higher ISO (1600), the Panasonic crushes the Samsung. I guess 5 years does make a difference after all.

It seems Panasonic GX9 has the same sensor as on GX8 (see here and here ). Here's a comparison of sensors in Samsung NX2000 and GX8.

The biggest difference will be observed when you view images from both cameras at 100%. Ignore the MPs, as my phone has more MPs than either cameras Instead, focus on the difference in image quality and "clarity" brought by the size of sensor. An image from a bigger sensor will always look better when enlarged because it captures a bigger image to begin with. This is true as long as lenses are comparable, and sensor generation/tech is comparable. That's the same reason Pros used Medium format or Large format back in film days, not the dinky APS cameras
