Clearly, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G95 because of its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Panasonic G95 will render more detail having its extra 10.3MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more recent G95 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
