The G7 X MII was introduced 6 years after the DP1x which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before going into a thorough comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the G7 X MII scores versus the DP1x in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II and Sigma DP1x. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon G7 X MII Gallery and Sigma DP1x Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera frequently, you will want to factor its weight and proportions.

In many cases, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions only by looking through specs. The picture underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the G7 X MII and DP1x.

All in all, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G7 X MII using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Canon G7 X MII will provide you with greater detail using its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more modern G7 X MII should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
