The use of G5x2 has been about two weeks, first to say two shortcomings, the first, like other compact cameras, dust is very easy into the lens, even if you carefully protect, according to the online disassembly, the blade lens cover of the boom has a gap, this design has not been improved for many years, will cause dust into the first-level lens glass inside. I have decided to buy a UV that is on a 3M double-sided adhesive paste.

The second problem, low-light shooting video, slow focus, generally need 3-4s to transfer to the new subject, this problem, Canon may later release a new firmware to optimize, but no matter how optimized, it is difficult to reach the M6, M50 those with double-core focus models. But I rarely shoot videos, and it doesn't matter.

For the quality of the picture, I feel good, but the big light difference conditions have some purple edge phenomenon, because there is no other camera comparison, not good to say how to evaluate. Another problem, I have not been able to find the best hard shell bag for it.
