As you have seen, each of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The G11 because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Fujifilm JZ200 will give you more detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics far more aggressively. The older G11 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
