The G9 X II having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon G9 X II will deliver greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent G9 X II should have a benefit in sensor technology.
