To sum up, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G100 due to its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Panasonic G100 will show more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The newer G100 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
