Here we are comparing two Canon cameras cameras with different body types: Canon G1 X III, which was introduced in October 2017 is a Large Sensor Compact camera with a 24.0MP APS-C sensor whereas Canon 1D X II, which was introduced in February 2016 is a Pro DSLR camera with a 20.0MP Full frame sensor. There is 21 months difference between G1 X III and 1D X MII so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger G1 X III, especially in sensor tech.
Comparing a DSLR camera to a Fixed Lens camera is not an easy task but we will do our best to make this a fair comparison. Fortunately, you can't go wrong with any of these cameras as we rank them amongst Top 10 cameras in their classes. Canon G1 X III is ranked
#7 out of 70 Large Sensor Compact cameras with an overall score of 68 whereas Canon 1D X II is ranked
#5 out of 36 Pro DSLR cameras with an overall score of 74.
