Hi Mikan. Congrats on your G9 X and thank you for sharing your thoughts and images.

No surprises here, the G9 X looks very good.

APS-C offers better pixel level noise/tone/contrast, however, you need a top quality lens to compete with the sharpness you're getting with the G9 X.

The G9 X looks like a keeper.

What I am still struggling with is a group picture in low-light. You have to close down the lens in order to get everybody' face focused, but then you have to use a higher ISO value. And 1-inch sensor ISO gets noisier much faster than APS-C sensor. But that's completely expected and it's the case with any 1-inch sensor, so no complain here. And I am learning that the flash is really not that bad if you lower the intensity a little bit. Yep, this camera is definitely a keeper!
