Often, it is tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by seeing specs. The photograph here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G100 and FZ47.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G100 featuring a bigger sensor will make getting bokeh simpler and the Panasonic G100 will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The newer G100 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
