More often than not, its difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements just by going over specifications. The visual below will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the G95 and SZ7.

Plainly, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G95 because of its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Panasonic G95 will offer more detail due to its extra 6.3MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The more modern G95 is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
