The 9000 was introduced 12 years before the G100 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus 9000 being a Compact camera and the Panasonic G100 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight to a detailed comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the 9000 scores vs the G100 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus Stylus 9000 and Panasonic Lumix DC-G100. The whole galleries are viewable at Olympus 9000 Gallery and Panasonic G100 Gallery.

If you're aiming to travel with your camera often, you'll need to consider its weight and dimensions.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are employing during that time. Following is a front view dimension comparison of the 9000 and the G100.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 9000 and G100 is 92 and 81 respectively.

Quite often, it can be hard to see the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by researching specs. The image underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 9000 and G100.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 9000 having a smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh trickier and the Panasonic G100 will result in greater detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged 9000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
