As you can see, the 2 cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G95 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Panasonic G95 will deliver greater detail because of its extra 0.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The fresher G95 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
