The FH7 was launched 8 years earlier than the G95 and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic FH7 being a Compact camera and the Panasonic G95 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting into a in-depth comparison, here is a short highlight of how the FH7 scores versus the G95 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH7 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G95. The complete galleries are viewable at Panasonic FH7 Gallery and Panasonic G95 Gallery.

Often, it is difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements merely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph below may give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the FH7 and G95.

As you can see, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The FH7 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Panasonic G95 will give you greater detail utilizing its extra 4.3MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The older FH7 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
