Quite often, it is hard to see the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading through technical specs. The photograph underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the FH6 and G95.

As you have seen, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The FH6 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Panasonic G95 will give you extra detail using its extra 6.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older FH6 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
