Sometimes, its tough to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions simply by seeing specs. The image below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the E-PL9 and G95.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Panasonic G95 to produce greater detail having an extra 4.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged E-PL9 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
