Clearly, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The A2500 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Canon G7 X MII will provide more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged A2500 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
