In fact, with the G5x you don't loose reach compared to the G11 : at 140mm (24x36 equiv) the G5x work with a 1/1.4" 10Mpixel sensitive area and a 36.8mm lens while the G11 work with a 1/1.7" 10Mpixel area and 30.5mm lens !

teleconverter vs digital zoom : the former is available on all focal length (so you can use it while keeping the focus distance at the closest position and have better magnification in macro for example). Digital zoom is more convenient for reach purpose.

crop vs teleconv or digital zoom : from jpeg, the difference in quality is minimal if you keep the viewing size the same (the teleconv and digital zoom interpolate pixel to reach the definition set in the camera so comparison at 100% are misleading). Use teleconv or digital zoom if you don't want to post process your pictures
