The biggest problem with the picture on the left is simply camera shake.  At more than twice the weight, the G3X is harder to hold steady.  There is also a difference in exposure between the two; the G3X picture is over-exposed.  With a steady camera (tripod) and a more accurate exposure, I don't think that the G3X would be any worse than the SX730.

In this scene, however, I would not expect the G3X to do much better.  In very bright scenes, the advantages of a larger sensor are not as apparent.  When shooting JPEG, the dynamic range advantages of the G3X are also less apparent.

I don't think that these images provide any basis to judge the two cameras.
