All in all, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G11 due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Nikon S3500 will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged G11 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
