Generally, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reading technical specs. The pic here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the G1 X III and LX100.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G1 X III featuring a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon G1 X III will deliver greater detail due to its extra 11MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The more modern G1 X III should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
