Personally I look at the G5X and RX100 IV as two different types of cameras.

The RX100 IV is a High-end pocketable compact, whereas the G5X is a Enthusiast compact camera.

Hence if looking for an update for my:

  • S110; I'd be looking/ comparing the RX100 III vs. the G9X. (for myself the RX100 IV improvements not worth the additional $$$ over the RX100 III).
  • G15; I would chose the G5X over the RX100 III or IV, or the G7X.

Hopefully with the G5X's slightly larger size over the G7X , Canon was able to improve the G5X's corner sharpness compared to the G7X.

+1.  It is the size of the RX100 line combined with the features and overall performance that makes it such a great series of cameras.    If you don't need a camera that small then there are many other options that you might consider including the G5X.    I have the original RX100 and when I decide to replace it I would be looking at a camera similar in size like the latest RX100xx or G9X.
