In many cases, it is very difficult to picture the difference between sensor sizing purely by looking at technical specs. The visual here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the G100 and FZ28.

As you have seen, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G100 because of its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Panasonic G100 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more modern G100 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
