All in all, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G9 X with its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon G9 X will give greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The newer G9 X is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
