The G15 was manufactured 2 years later than the Z950 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before going straight into a in depth comparison, below is a short summation of how the G15 grades against the Z950 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

In many cases, it is hard to visualize the difference in sensor measurements merely by seeing technical specs. The photograph underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the G15 and Z950.

As you can tell, the two cameras offer the same exact MP but different sensor measurements. The G15 contains the larger sensor which should make achieving shallow DOF less difficult. The younger G15 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
