Often, it is tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reading through technical specs. The pic here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the G16 and Fujifilm X20.
As you can tell, both of the cameras posses the exact same MP but different sensor sizes. The G16 has the tinier sensor which is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher. The more modern G16 should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
