Typically, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor measurements merely by going over technical specs. The visual underneath might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the G5 X and X Vario.

As you can tell, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The G5 X because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Canon G5 X will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more recent G5 X will have an advantage in sensor tech.
