Quite often, it can be hard to see the gap in sensor dimensions just by checking out a spec sheet. The pic here will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the G9 and LX7.

As you can see, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G9 because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Panasonic G9 will provide extra detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The newer G9 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
