Typically, it is very hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reading a spec sheet. The picture underneath might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 400D and G9 X.

As you can see, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 400D because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon G9 X will offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged 400D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
