Quite often, it is very difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions simply by viewing technical specs. The pic underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 90D and G7 X MII.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 90D using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Canon 90D will provide you with more detail having an extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger 90D is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
