Canon G5 X vs Sigma DP1x Sensor Comparison
Typically, it's difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizes merely by viewing a spec sheet. The picture here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the G5 X and DP1x.
As you can see, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The G5 X using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Canon G5 X will result in greater detail because of its extra 15MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The newer G5 X is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
