All in all, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G7 X because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon G7 X will give you greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent G7 X will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
