The E-M5 II was introduced 5 years prior to the G95 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going right into a more detailed comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the E-M5 II grades versus the G95 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Below is a front view dimensions comparison of the E-M5 II compared to the G95.

Considering size and weight, the portability score of the E-M5 II and G95 is 80 and 67 respectively.

Generally, it can be hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing technical specs. The graphic here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M5 II and G95.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic G95 to produce extra detail using its extra 4.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots more aggressively. The older E-M5 II will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
