Euh... did you read he DPR G1X vs G7X shootout?

You mean the one with the shot in condition where a cell-phone could have done the trick and the three zoomed shot ? Yes what does it have to do with the point I am making ? (how would that camera would have been received if it was a fixed 24mm ?)

The closest one to my comparison is the shot at 28mm where they basically said "when removing all advantages of the G1X-III (by zooming a 28 instead of keeping them both at 24) the G1X is just slightly noisier"

Plus this is a shootout with the G7X-II (note that at 28mm the RX100 is already at F7 or more not at F5.5 so what stand for the X-II does not stand for the others) , sadly there is no G5X-II (I said viewfinder) and I'm pretty sure I read DPR said that the G7X-II was a clear upgrade over the G7X which is equivalent to the G5X. If I was to buy a camera without viewfinder, which I won't, the choice would most likely go to the LX10.

So yes the zoom is not the best, I get it, I'm pretty sure we all do, it will only be good enough in some situations, if you read my post, this is one of the very fist thing I said. Still, is it not a better feature than the "crop and upscale" digital teleconverter of the X100F ?

Please note I'm not saying this is the best camera ever, this is a niche one but a very good one if you put it in the right category, I just happen to be one of the happy target that saw it (i.e. I think that anyone waiting for a GR upgrade or the Fuji X100 series should give this one a closer look).
