Oftentimes, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching technical specs. The visual underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the FZ150 and G6.

As you have seen, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The FZ150 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Panasonic G6 will provide you with more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older FZ150 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
