Often, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements only by looking through technical specs. The visual below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the G7 X and DP1.

As you can tell, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G7 X because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Canon G7 X will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 15 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The younger G7 X should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
