The G95 featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Panasonic G95 will offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 10.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger G95 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
