Plainly, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 8000 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Panasonic G100 will deliver greater detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 8000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
