Often, it is hard to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading through a spec sheet. The picture underneath will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the G100 and S5 II X.

As you can see, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The G100 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Panasonic S5 II X will give greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged G100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
