Here, we are contrasting the Panasonic G1 versus Panasonic GH2, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless and both of them are manufactured by Panasonic. There exists a sizeable gap between the sensor resolutions of the G1 (12MP) and GH2 (16MP) but both cameras have the identical sensor sizing (Four Thirds).

The G1 was released 3 years earlier than the GH2 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going right into a detailed comparison, here is a short summary of how the G1 scores versus the GH2 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2. The complete galleries are available at Panasonic G1 Gallery and Panasonic GH2 Gallery.

If you're planning to carry around your camera often, you will need to take into account its weight and volume. The Panasonic G1 features physical measurements of 124mm x 84mm x 45mm (4.9" x 3.3" x 1.8") having a weight of 360 grams (0.79 lbs) and the Panasonic GH2 has sizing of 124mm x 90mm x 76mm (4.9" x 3.5" x 3.0") with a weight of 442 grams (0.97 lbs).

Quite often, it is hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading through technical specs. The pic underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the G1 and GH2.

As you can tell, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but different MP. You should anticipate the Panasonic GH2 to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged G1 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
