G1X MKII - Why the lack of buzz?

Re: G1X MKII - Why the lack of buzz?

I like the G1X M2 quite a bit.  I really like the lens, dynamic range seems pretty good, and the IS at times a thing of wonder.  My primary gripes are low light focusing problems (can't get focus to lock at times) and surprisingly poor WB compared to previous Canon cameras. However, the latter issue is generally easily corrected.  I have found with my Sony RX100 that fixing one color/WB problem creates a slew of others presumably because of a poor tone curve.  This often results in a vicious cycle that often proves to be nothing more than an exercise in complete futility.  Unfortunately, this even occurs when working with RAW files.  With the G1X M2, on the other hand, adjustments are usually quick and painless whether using the RAW or JPEG.  On a side note, if you get a slightly longer shoulder strap for the cam than the ones that comes with it, you'll barely even know it's there.
