Typically, it is hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements just by going through a spec sheet. The graphic below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the G6 and T900.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G6 using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic G6 will show greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The younger G6 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
