The Z6 was brought out 8 years later than the G2 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting into a full comparison, here is a quick summation of how the Z6 matches up vs the G2 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Z6 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2. The entire galleries are provided at Nikon Z6 Gallery & Panasonic G2 Gallery.

Normally, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor sizing merely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual below should provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z6 and G2.

Clearly, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Z6 featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Nikon Z6 will render more detail having its extra 13MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos more aggressively. The more recent Z6 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
