More often than not, it is tough to see the contrast in sensor sizing only by seeing technical specs. The photograph here will help provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G100 and FS25.

As you can tell, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The G100 using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Panasonic G100 will produce more detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer G100 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
