Normally, it can be difficult to picture the difference between sensor sizing merely by looking at specifications. The photograph here might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the G95 and VS20.

Plainly, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing.

Higher resolution can also let you crop shots much more aggressively. The younger G95 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
