Typically, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions just by looking through technical specs. The picture below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the G95 and ZS1.

As you can tell, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G95 because of its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Panasonic G95 will result in more detail as a result of its extra 10.3MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more recent G95 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
