Sometimes, it is hard to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions only by going through a spec sheet. The pic underneath might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the G100 and K-1 II.

As you can see, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G100 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Pentax K-1 II will provide greater detail due to its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern G100 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
