All in all, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G3 X having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon G3 X will provide more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger G3 X provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
