A little background about myself. I usually carry my Sony a6300 + 16-70Z when I travel, but I finally realized that I really dislike carrying a large camera/lens during my trips. I also have Sony RX100 M5, which I have rarely used, so I started playing with it more, with an intention of making it the only camera I carry during my future trips (go away Covid!!). But oh the AWB is pretty bad on this camera. I shoot RAW, so I am not referring to the JPEG engine color rendering. I am referring to the accuracy of the WB values the processor picks in AWB mode. It often shifts too much to red, whenever it "thinks" the scene is supposed to have a warm tone (autumn scene, faces, etc...). And I don't want to keep fixing them in PP.
That brought me to Canon G5X M2. I used to own G9X, and I remember its AWB more accurate than that of Sony. Also, from what I have read (quite extensively), G5X M2's IQ seems slightly higher than the G7X series. I don't pixel peek (like I did at one point), so I think I'll be happy with the slightly less sharp images of G5X M2 (comparing to Sony). And oh that extra zoom while staying at f/2.8 is so lovely!! And I would enjoy the touch focus my Sony does not have.
But I am not sure if I'll be happy with the AF speed. I had Sony RX100 M3 but upgraded to M5 because I could not stand the slow AF of M3. But now that my kids are teenagers, they don't move as fast as they used to, so I don't need a super fast AF for travel pictures. BUT, I don't want the AF to be as slow as the AF of Sony RX100 M3, which I found very very slow. So my question is, can somebody please tell me if the Canon G5X M2 AF is as slow as the Sony RX100 M3 AF?
