+1 for the M100 as a great take anywhere camera. Some of you might remember I posted a question on whether the G7xii or the M100 would be better suited to this role.

I bought a second hand G7xii and, in retrospect, thankfully it wasn't in as good a condition as the seller listed it on ebay, so sent it back and got a refund.

Just went to India on business and had a couple of days off... so took M5 for those days and the M100 with 22mm for walk around. Tried my hand at 'street' style and was delighted with the M100 performance... even though it was real trial and error and many of the resulting images need work in PP.
