I'd opt for using the battery charger every time so I am okay with that. Those cables are cheap and I would expect that it would come with one though. I get the general point being made as the new Ricoh GR III doesn't have the onboard flash of the previous model and Ricoh doesn't supply an external one. The LX100 came with a small light duty external flash.

Back to the review. I'm not into shooting sports or kids with a point and shoot so the low rating there is okay for me. The fixed lens Fuji is known for it's focusing issues (!) but I have a great time shooting with it.

Good news on the landscape/scenery high score. Many of my travel shots with a point and shoot include some of that.

The OP also seems pleased with the portrait, low light and still shooting. I have been wondering about the "new" lens and it seems decent. I still have my RX100 IV and if the G5X II lens is about the same (or better?) I most likely would enjoy the camera. Most of us have other cameras but in my life there is always room for a good point and shoot.
