All in all, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The G9 X II using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Canon G9 X II will render greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more modern G9 X II provides a benefit in sensor technology.
