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.
I found that this is a problem on numerous canon compact cameras I've used. My EOS-M had this problem, the G1X Mark II i tried had this problem, and my G7 X also seems to have this problem. All of them would "beep" to say they confirmed focus lock, but the the picture is not in focus. My S90 is even worse in low light, as it simply won't lock focus. It doesn't confirm to beep though, that's a good thing I guess.
I suspected the G7x would have the same deal as the G1x2. Often using touch focus helps...but still...not something Canon shouldn't be able to improve.
