To sum up, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The G7 X with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Fujifilm X-T20 will show extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged G7 X will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
