Clearly, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The G12 with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Kodak M530 will offer you extra detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer G12 provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
