I own the G5X Mk2 and I would say it has the essentially same IQ as the G7X Mk3 in normal use and both are very good useful cameras.

I also have a cellphone, as well, that is very good but it is awkward to use in bright light and when zooming quickly. I think the G5X mkii is better in this sense than my cellphone. I bought the G5X mkii camera for the compact size it is than includes the viewfinder which, like my phone, can fit in my coat pocket.  The phone is handy and weighs less but the camera is quicker/easier/trusted to use when in the chaos of photography.

I have larger expensive interchangeable lens DSLR/mirrorless cameras which have higher IQ capability but they are big and bulky.  They can also attract unwanted attention in some situations.

However, between the G5X and G7X cameras I doubt you will be able to tell the IQ difference in real world use.
