There is a sizable difference among the sensor resolutions of the 70D (20MP) and G2 (12MP) and the 70D (APS-C) and G2 (Four Thirds) provide totally different sensor measurements.

The 70D was brought out 3 years later than the G2 and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Canon 70D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Panasonic G2 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before going into a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick overview of how the 70D scores vs the G2 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Often, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing simply by going through a spec sheet. The photograph below will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 70D and G2.

Clearly, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 70D because of its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 70D will provide extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern 70D will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
