Hi Gearfreak, I fear I'm not that camera-savvy. I only do ye olde JPG thing.

btw, I didn't realize that there is no battery gauge with non Canon batteries on the G7X Mark II. That's a bit gross. The G3X (or the G16) doesn't do this either. So the camera will just shut down eventually when the battery is empty?

Since CHDK doesn't work with recent Canon compacts, you can't use its precise gauge either. (the last working are S110, G15 and G1X I think, due to the digic version?)

There is also the "satin" finish (the subtle texture finish) on the Mark I, which is gone, even on the zones without rubber.

The Mark II AF is faster, especially in low light. In daylight, I was never worried by the Mark I's AF speed, though.

Yes, if you can, please shoot, compare and post images at wide angle.
