Hi. I came across this thread looking for an answer to a specific question. I used to own the G5X mark i and then the G7X mark ii (fits in my pocket better).

I'm really interested in the G5X mark ii for the extra zoom. I've read in many places the auto focus can be lacking. I was always happy with the auto focus on the previous Canons.

So my question is, does anyone know if the auto focus on the G5X ii is at least on par with those? I'm assuming it hasn't gotten worse. None of the reviews I've seen compare them, only to the Sony RX100 vii. Thanks.

I've got a G5x II, and it's auto-focus is noticeably faster than what I experienced with my previous G5x I.

It's still not awesome for fast moving subjects, but other than that it is absolutely fine.

The lens seems sharper than my first gen also (and seems about on par with my rx100 vi - which I am about to sell!).
