Sometimes, it is very hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements just by looking at a spec sheet. The visual below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the G7 X MII and DP1.

As you can see, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The G7 X MII featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Canon G7 X MII will give you greater detail due to its extra 15 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The younger G7 X MII should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
