All in all, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SP-600 UZ using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Panasonic G95 will provide greater detail having an extra 8.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged SP-600 UZ will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
