Sometimes, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes simply by seeing specifications. The pic below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the S3700 and G95.

Plainly, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S3700 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Panasonic G95 will produce extra detail having an extra 0.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged S3700 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
