Normally, it can be hard to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions only by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the G9 and WB150F.

As you can see, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G9 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Panasonic G9 will resolve greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The newer G9 provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
