All in all, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The EX-ZR1000 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Panasonic G100 will render extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR1000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
