Nikon P510 vs Panasonic G95 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes only by viewing specs. The picture underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the P510 and G95.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The P510 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Panasonic G95 will result in more detail utilizing its extra 4.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged P510 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
