Usually, it can be difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes purely by seeing technical specs. The pic here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the GH6 and G2.

As you have seen, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Panasonic GH6 to show greater detail as a result of its extra 13MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images far more aggressively. The newer GH6 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
