Usually, its tough to see the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reading a spec sheet. The pic below might offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G11 and ZS70.
Clearly, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The G11 having a larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Panasonic ZS70 will deliver greater detail having an extra 10MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged G11 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
