The FZ1000 was launched 5 years prior to the G95 and that is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic FZ1000 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Panasonic G95 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go in to a complete comparison, below is a short introduction of how the FZ1000 grades against the G95 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

More often than not, its hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the FZ1000 and G95.

As you can see, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The FZ1000 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Panasonic G95 will give greater detail utilizing its extra 0.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older FZ1000 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
