As you have seen, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The G7 X having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Canon G7 X will result in greater detail using its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent G7 X will have an advantage in sensor tech.
