Oftentimes, it's hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions purely by checking out a spec sheet. The pic underneath may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the G1 X and Fujifilm X-E4.

Clearly, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The G1 X having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Fujifilm X-E4 will produce more detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged G1 X will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
