Sometimes, it is very difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions just by researching specifications. The picture underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the G95 and H400.

Plainly, both of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The G95 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Panasonic G95 will render greater detail using its extra 0.3MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The fresher G95 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
