Before diving into a thorough comparison, here is a concise view of how the S95 scores vs the G95 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot S95 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-G95. The entire galleries are available at Canon S95 Gallery & Panasonic G95 Gallery.

If you are planning to travel with your camera often, you will have to think about its weight and measurements.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the S95 and G95 is 93 and 67 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be tough to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions just by going over technical specs. The pic below will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the S95 and G95.

As you can tell, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S95 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic G95 will offer you extra detail due to its extra 10.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged S95 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
