Re: Canon g9x mk ii or Sony rx100 mk 1

When faced with this decision last year I opted for the RX100 but I regret buying it now. I'm not happy with the Sony's jpeg colours, nor am I happy with it's auto white balance and metering. The metering and auto white balance aren't terrible, they just aren't as reliable as the Canon PowerShots I own. I am happy with the image quality and the menus are fine, I just can't get used to the colours.

The main thing that's keeping me from selling the RX100 and getting a G9X is that I sometimes shoot it one handed and I don't think I'd be able to do that with the touchscreen focused controls of the G9X. I'd miss being able to bounce the flash too. The smaller minimum focus distance at maximum zoom of the G9X would be nice to have though. Decisions decisions
