Clearly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G9 X having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon G9 X will resolve greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more recent G9 X should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
