Looking forward to taking it on my upcoming trip soon!

Sounds like it should serve you well. I generally follow most of the reviews on the latest gear from Canon, Sony, Panasonic, DJI, GoPro and Zhiyun. Those are the brands I own and usually buy.

I noticed this 'Bottom Line' at Imaging Resource from the G5X II review, although that review might still be in progress.

"Bottom line, the Canon G5X Mark II's performance is excellent in most respects, and vastly improved over its predecessor. Autofocus is fast, shutter lag is low, single-shot cycle times are very quick and burst speeds go up to an incredible 20 fps no matter the file type (30 fps in RAW Burst Mode). Buffer depths are also quite generous with reasonable clearing times when using a fast card."

Battery life however was something they rated as "poor." Sounds like a person might need a couple extra batteries for an extended trip, or a portable charging bank to take along.
