If you're interested in better image quality, the larger sensor isn't a drawback - it's an advantage.

I don't see any difference from different size sensors if they have sufficient DR and are viewed at the relevant size, apart from DOF.

It's not only low light. Any type of shot where the lighting isn't excellent requires high ISO and/or long exposure with S120. I do product shots in fairly good "standard" indoor lighting (just the standard room fluorescents) with S120 and I must admit I cuss and moan more often than not because of this. Yes, in excellent lighting the S120 will do fine, or if using a tripod and shooting static scenes it's okay. There's certainly more benefit to the larger sensor in the G7X than just shooting in low light. Having owned both the G7X and the S120, I can say there's no doubt about that.

Could you see the difference in a 4x6 inch size image?
