Usually, it's hard to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions purely by looking through specs. The picture here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SP-620 UZ and G95.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SP-620 UZ because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Panasonic G95 will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 4.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged SP-620 UZ will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
