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

In reading through this thread I think I should point out that we're talking small relative differences between all the cameras mentioned.  We're talking personal preferences and personal applications.  For example, my interpretation of the CameraLabs article that SantaMaria mentioned is that the cameras are equivalent with neither having a particular advantage or disadvantage, specifically for noise in low light all else being equal.

CMCM mentions wanting a small fixed lens compact to shoot the interiors of old churches, etc.  I personally would opt for an M camera with an EF f2.8 24mm IS or EF f2 IS 35 mm prime, if I wasn't using my full frame camera.  But now we are talking multiple lenses and more bulk.  Its all a trade off and personal preference.  I don't think there is a general right or wrong answer.

But, just for the record, I've used my G1X3 in museums and old churches and it yields excellent images.  IMHO.
