The canon powereshot G1x Mark II  it takes beautiful rich photographs. DSLR quality even in auto mode.  Very sharp images and especially good in low light. Really good. I took a hundred or so pictures at a wedding and they looked better than the pro photographers shots. I like the feel and fit and finish much better than the Sony Rx100 line. This is built like a tank. Add the optional grip. It does take a little more time to focus but is worth the wait in my opinion. I prefer Canon color over Sony but was torn between the RX100 Mark II based on the great reviews but when Consumer Reports Oct 2014 issue rated the G1X Mark II as "our best scoring camera ever, the highest score of any we have ever tested. The 13 megapixel camera is the first to earn an Excellent score for overall image quality as well as flash photos and video" That and the positive DP Review did it and I'm glad I did. Great camera and optional viewfinder one of the best, I love it!
