Sometimes, it's hard to see the contrast between sensor measurements merely by going over technical specs. The visual here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the G85 and fp L.

As you have seen, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G85 having a tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Sigma fp L will offer you extra detail because of its extra 45 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older G85 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
