As you can tell, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The G9 due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Panasonic G9 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger G9 provides a benefit in sensor technology.
