The TL having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Panasonic G95 will resolve more detail using its extra 4.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged TL is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
