Canon G7X sensor is 13.2 mm x 8.8 mm

I figured the AW1 would come close to the G7X (in raw), but I'm having a difficult time comparing sample shots due to differing conditions. IQ equal, I'd prefer the AW1 -- less bulk and if it becomes a paperweight, less loss than the G7X+housing.

I think that is a smart decision.  Just be aware of the potential leak problem with the AW1 and also the fact that flash, even the internal flash in the camera, has a 1/60th second synch speed.

I have been very satisfied with my AW1.
