As you can see, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G5 X MII because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Fujifilm X-T20 will provide greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The newer G5 X MII will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
