Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing simply by going through technical specs. The graphic underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the G16 and Fujifilm T400.

As you have seen, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The G16 having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Fujifilm T400 will produce more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots far more aggressively. The newer G16 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
