Plainly, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G7 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Panasonic G7 will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern G7 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
