Normally, it is very tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing purely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual below will help give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G5 X and Fujifilm HS50 EXR.

As you can see, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G5 X with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon G5 X will give you greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The fresher G5 X should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
