Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizing merely by checking technical specs. The graphic below will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 6020 and G95.

As you can tell, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 6020 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic G95 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 7.3MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older 6020 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
