Exactly same experience G1x to G5x - disappointed with the noise and blurry images at high contrast areas (white subject agains dark background) when F is below 4.0. The image below is ISO160 at F2.8. Petals have a halo, background grainy.

Honestly, I wouldn't be happy with this either... I'd settle for the above when cropped from the corners, but not in the center. Just bought a GX7ii (after having considered the G5x as well) - having same lens, sensor I believe - and I'm still learning which settings produce the best results. But so far, I wouldn't hesitate to use wide open at tele end. Example: the flower below, from my G7Xii isn't white as in your example, but also wide open aperture at the same tele end. Maybe it has something to do with the focusing distance? The only softness I see is what I believe simply due to dof.

Sooc:

Best regards,
