Quite often, it's hard to see the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reviewing technical specs. The photograph here should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G9 X II and WB250F.

As you have seen, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The G9 X II having a bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Canon G9 X II will offer more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The more modern G9 X II is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
