Oftentimes, its difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizes just by looking through technical specs. The image below may give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the G9 X and M550.

As you have seen, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The G9 X using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon G9 X will render extra detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more modern G9 X provides a benefit in sensor tech.
