Often, it can be tough to see the gap in sensor measurements purely by checking out a spec sheet. The visual below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G100 and fp.

As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G100 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Sigma fp will provide more detail because of its extra 5MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more modern G100 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
