Very poor image quality from G1x MK 2 (in my opinion!)

Well here is what I am getting, and this is straight from the camera, no post processing applied whatsoever.

Here is 100% Crop, does that look like poor image quality to you?

That looks good but his portrait look poor. Portrait and landscape are something very different.

I know that, but the camera to register fine clean details is the same.

His portrait looks dissapointing for such an expensive camera, way too much NR which cause loss of fine detail, but maybe it's just wrong settings I don't know, don't have the camera.

As been pointed out, viewing at 200% is not a criteria for image analysis.

I was not viewing at 200%, I was viewing and juddging the two samples at 100% and it's dissapointing for such a large sensor and the price. I'm pretty sure that this kind of sensor could and should show more fine detail as the examples, NR is far too agressive but maybe it wasn't set to the lowest setting.

I don't understand why don't this kind of cameras have a function where you can completely turn off the NR and not just set it to the lowest setting.

I can do this with my XZ-10 and I was surprised by the resaults with NR turned off, it beats cameras like S95, P340, LF1... in many situations, even though they have bigger sensors but you can't turn off NR on them and the result of this is loss of fine detail.
