Sometimes, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the G100 and ZS60.

Clearly, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The G100 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Panasonic G100 will give you greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer G100 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
