Sometimes, it is very tough to see the difference between sensor sizing only by reading through specifications. The visual underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 5D MIII and G95.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 5D MIII because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 5D MIII will give you more detail utilizing its extra 1.7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The older 5D MIII is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
