More often than not, it can be hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements purely by going through specifications. The graphic underneath will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the G95 and P80.

Plainly, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G95 because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Panasonic G95 will show greater detail due to its extra 8.3MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more recent G95 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
