I completely concur with RLight's review.  I've been using mine along side my 5D4, 80D kit and L zooms and this little jewell really competes for IQ.  We're just back from a small boat SE Alaska cruise, Juno to Sitka.  Because of the possibility of whale, bear and other wildlife sightings, I had the 100-400 on my 5D most of the time and relied on my G1X3 for the landscape, people, and misc shots.  The G's raw images processed beautifully and stood up well to the light, shadow, and dehaze treatment in post.  The atmosphere was hazy, often dark and misty and the G's images cleaned up to produce blue sky detailed landscapes of the snowy mountains and dark forests.  The G's excellent dynamic range proved itself in this high contrast environment.  I even got to use its underwater housing for a very drizzly hike in the rain forest.  The detail and colors rival what I get from my 24-105 and 24-70 L zooms.  Its certainly earned a respected place in my kit.
