This is a great, and very timely thread. Appreciate everyone's feedback.

My question is--how are all these with video? Especially at twilight, or maybe indoors in restaurants?

I was really looking forward to the G7X Mark III, which is allegedly right around the corner. But truth is, I have a trip coming up, and it simply won't be available in time.

I need an ultra-compact for some photos, but mostly video. The flip-up screen is a must. I am thinking about trying one of these significantly-less-expensive models to see how it does, or at least bridge me to the G7X Mark III. (The Sony RX models are simply too expensive.)

Looking forward to any feedback. Much appreciated, folks!

The Canon SX60 video isn't great towards the darker end of twilight, with noticeable grain/artefacts, so I imagine the SX740 is similar.
