Clearly, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The G95 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh more challenging and the Panasonic G95 will give you more detail as a result of its extra 0.3MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more recent G95 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
