Usually, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions just by going over a spec sheet. The picture below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the G5 X MII and DP2 Quattro.

As you can see, both of the cameras have the same MP albeit different sensor dimensions. The G5 X MII comes with the tinier sensor which will make achieving shallower DOF tougher. The more recent G5 X MII should have an advantage in sensor tech.
