Scroll down a bit in this thread where the topic switches (on the G5x) to a discussion of the L quality vs sL quality. I found this informative:

Thanks for the link! Great, I'm so glad you told me about this. I also tried the custom color setting Carolyn uses, and I like it. It makes the colors pop, but the overall exposure is lower so it allows a faster shutter speed. Very nice!

Your photos are grand! Obviously you know how to get the best/most out of the G9X.

I'm kinda on the fence about this camera. The short zoom, only 85mm, and the wide end only 28mm. I can live with the 85, but the 28 loses me.....but I can live with it. If need be I can have my EOS M3 with the 11mm-22mm with me for the wide shots.

Plus some poster on this Forum complained about the "cheap?" build and the lack of "heft" because it's so light. What say you? I've been to Best Buy here, but as yet no G9X.

I currently have the S110. And it is the "grab" camera out the door. But the IQ (ala your photos) is impressive. Can't help but think that the next iteration of the G9X, probably out late next year, will correct the concerns I have with this camera.

But hey! If the price is reduced, significantly, I'll spring for it.
