To sum up, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G1 X II due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Fujifilm X100F will resolve more detail having its extra 11MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged G1 X II is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
