All in all, the two cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G1 X II due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Fujifilm X100V will offer you more detail having its extra 13MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged G1 X II is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
