Clearly, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FZ28 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Panasonic G95 will result in greater detail having an extra 10.3MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged FZ28 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
