To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G1 X III using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon G1 X III will result in greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more modern G1 X III should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
