As you can see, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G100 due to its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Panasonic G100 will render more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer G100 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
