More often than not, it is difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements purely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-630 iHS and G85.

As you can see, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The TG-630 iHS having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh tougher and the Panasonic G85 will show extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older TG-630 iHS will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
