Some considerations. (I'm not a pro)

Canon G9 has a 1/1.7" sensor size, G7X 1". Quite bigger. So it's easier for G9 to focus at shorter distances. (You can also consider that G7X is 20 Mp, rather than 12 Mp that G9. So with G7X you can focus farther but that crop a lot).

Cropping is an interesting solution, why not try turning on the Digital Multiplyer to 2X, I have used this method with my IXUS and get amazing macros.

The poor macro is just another penalty of the larger sensor, for those where low light shooting is not important, these larger sensors are a real drawback.
