Plainly, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G900 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sigma fp L will provide extra detail due to its extra 41MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged G900 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
