Weirdly enough I cannot find your comparisons between the G5XII and your ex-G1XIII.
Anyway here is a comparison between the G7XIII and the G1XIII at the max long end. Not much difference if at all due to the better IQ of the G1XIII... This means that the longer zoom of the smaller sensor camera may not compensate for inferior glass.
I'm a, moron...
Had to switch to threaded mode to see this, only caught it when I saw the beginning thread "for RLight"
Sincere apologies.
BTW, no fight here, my opinion, the G1X Mark III IQ is better than the G5/7X III. Not much, but it's there.
Again, you'll get no fight from me that one is better than the other at certain things.
Thx! This was in reaction to your statement that you prefered the G5XII for the longer reach...
Truthfully? I "like" the G1X Mark III better. Weather sealing, fully articulating screen, slightly better IQ, better build, better colors, dedicated EVF and DSLR-like form factor.
But, the G5X Mark II is more useful, mainly because it pockets and DIGIC8 really does help with initial AF lock, even though it's contrast detect. 120mm is still 120mm too.
I think at the end of the day the name says it all... 1 Series is for pro's and 5 series is for most people with higher photographic ambitions but not pros. G1X III is like that; second body for pros for personal use. G5X II is like the 5D or R5, i.e. what most people will use, just like most people use the RX100 now. G5X II is more enjoyable than a RX100, but, less than a G1X III.
If, the G1X Mark III had DIGIC8, I'd still be using it, and would've rebought it. That's how close the call is between these two bodies (for me).
Seems like it's just the focus and a smaller & lighter form factor then. Personally I would have checked out the Pany TZ200 in that case...
