Quite often, it's difficult to imagine the difference between sensor measurements just by looking at specs. The photograph underneath will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the FH2 and G95.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The FH2 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic G95 will give you extra detail due to its extra 6.3MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older FH2 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
