Sometimes, it is tough to visualize the difference in sensor measurements only by researching technical specs. The photograph underneath should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the G6 and K110D.

As you have seen, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The G6 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic G6 will render extra detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more recent G6 provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
