To sum up, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G9 X using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon G9 X will deliver more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The more recent G9 X should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
