Quite often, it can be tough to envision the gap in sensor sizing only by seeing technical specs. The photograph below should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the G1 X II and Fujifilm X100.
As you have seen, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The G1 X II featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Canon G1 X II will show extra detail utilizing its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images more aggressively. The younger G1 X II will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
