More often than not, it is hard to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reviewing specifications. The visual underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the G9 and K110D.

Plainly, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The G9 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Panasonic G9 will offer you greater detail because of its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer G9 should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
