More often than not, it is very hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements only by checking specs. The graphic below might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the G16 and TS25.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The G16 with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic TS25 will give you more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The fresher G16 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
