Quite often, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizes purely by looking through specifications. The pic here will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the G100 and L1.

To sum up, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Panasonic G100 to provide you with greater detail using its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more recent G100 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
