Plainly, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The G11 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm X20 will give you more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged G11 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
