Usually, its tough to imagine the gap in sensor measurements simply by viewing specifications. The photograph here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the G9 X II and DP1x.

Plainly, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G9 X II because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Canon G9 X II will result in extra detail having its extra 15 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more recent G9 X II provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
