Oftentimes, its hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading a spec sheet. The visual here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the G2 and GF6.

As you can see, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Panasonic GF6 to deliver greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The older G2 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
