Am I the only one who perceives a massive IQ advantage for the G1X III over 1-inch models?

I own a G7XII and a G9X.

I recently had the opportunity to borrow a G1X III, and I feel like it has a massive IQ advantage over the G7XII. The lens itself seems better (maybe because it covers a smaller range), and the APS-C sensor just appears to have better DR and color acuity/depth. I like the bokeh quality from the G1XIII as well.

I mean the difference between a 1-inch sensor and APS-C is massive, but I've read so many reviews panning the G1X III and suggesting something like the G5X or G7X models may be better, but I just don't see it.

From what I have seen you are 100% correct.

But compared to latest Sony 1" models (RX100VA), the verdict is much less clear... See Cameralabs comparison.
