To sum up, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The G7 X MIII using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Canon G7 X MIII will provide more detail because of its extra 15MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The younger G7 X MIII provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
