Quite often, it is very hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reading through specifications. The image here may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the G2 and GH4.

Plainly, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Panasonic GH4 to give greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged G2 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
