Sometimes, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The image underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the E-330 and G100.

Clearly, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Panasonic G100 to give greater detail due to its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged E-330 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
