As you have seen, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The G95 featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Panasonic G95 will provide you with more detail due to its extra 6.3MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The younger G95 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
