Sometimes, it's hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements purely by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic here will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the A2500 and G12.

Clearly, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The A2500 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Canon A2500 will result in extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more modern A2500 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
