To sum up, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G95 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Panasonic G95 will provide extra detail due to its extra 4.3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more recent G95 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
