In many cases, its difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizing purely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual here will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the ZS80 and G95.

As you can see, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The ZS80 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh tougher and the Panasonic G95 will produce more detail as a result of its extra 0.3MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The older ZS80 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
