Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements merely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the G11 and CX6.

Clearly, both cameras have got the exact same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor measurements. The G11 uses the bigger sensor which will make obtaining shallower depth of field simpler. The older G11 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
