Plainly, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic G9 to deliver more detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more modern G9 provides an edge in sensor innovation.
