To sum up, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G9 X featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Canon G9 X will provide you with greater detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The fresher G9 X should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
