More often than not, its difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements merely by going over a spec sheet. The visual here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 20Da and G7 X MIII.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 20Da with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon G7 X MIII will deliver more detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older 20Da is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
