Quite often, it is hard to picture the gap in sensor dimensions simply by looking through technical specs. The pic below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FZ2500 and G1.

As you have seen, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The FZ2500 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Panasonic FZ2500 will render more detail with its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The fresher FZ2500 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
