To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G6 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony ZV-E10 will give greater detail because of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged G6 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
