Sometimes, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor measurements just by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the G1 X III and Fujifilm SL240.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G1 X III having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon G1 X III will resolve extra detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more recent G1 X III is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
