More often than not, its tough to see the contrast in sensor sizing merely by checking out technical specs. The photograph here will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the G7 X MIII and X2.

As you have seen, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The G7 X MIII having a smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon G7 X MIII will show greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The younger G7 X MIII will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
