More often than not, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements merely by viewing specifications. The visual underneath might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the G100 and SD9.

To sum up, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G100 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh harder and the Panasonic G100 will result in extra detail due to its extra 17MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer G100 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
