In many cases, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading technical specs. The photograph below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the G7 X MIII and DP2s.

As you have seen, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The G7 X MIII due to its tinier sensor will make getting bokeh trickier and the Canon G7 X MIII will offer greater detail having its extra 15MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more recent G7 X MIII will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
