Strapped for cash and looking to pick up a 1" sensor cam that can outshoot my iPhone 6s. I was thinking of buying the Sony RX100 Mark1, which I've owned previously and thought well of. But the gets me into eBay and all that. So I looked at the G7X which looked good until I read some reviews that counted it poorer in the IQ dept than the RX100. Then I looked at the G9X which was considerably cheaper but has a lesser lens than the G7X, so I figured it would be worse. Some of the reviews speak highly of the G9, saying the IQ is pretty much the same as the G7 and ALSO pretty much the same as the first version of the RX100. My shooting is all over the place--travel, portrait, dog, art, general. No printing, but I might print if the quality was good enough. Been shooting a long time but by no means a "photographer," and certainly not a "good" photographer. Still, I see noise in images, stuff breaking up, unsharpness, bokeh, etc.

Need a little help with this, advice and consent, all that. Much appreciate any advice. Thanks all--

Sony Rx100 I is a slow lens

G7X and mii are fast 1.8 to 2.8 lens

G7X much better portrait colors for skin tone

G7X feels like a mechanical camera, Sony like electronic gadget
