More often than not, its difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing just by going over specifications. The photograph underneath might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the G100 and K110D.

Plainly, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G100 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Panasonic G100 will offer you more detail because of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs more aggressively. The more modern G100 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
