I had both the G7x mkI and the G5x mkI. I didn't feel there was any significant difference in the AF speed nor the shot to shot for RAW. It is listed at 1fps and it does feel like that.

Unless they improved things in firmware at some stage , it`ll drive me nuts then , I tested the G7X at launch and it seemed more sluggish in operation than my ancient G1X origjnal

My uncle has a LX10 which I'm keen to borrow and test the AF speed. The newer Sonys look quite responsive.

Even the first RX100 is responsive but the lens on the Mk1 and MK2 need F5.6 to get good throughout, the fast lens of the Mk3/4/5 is way too short (and still soft at the long end) and the 24-200 models comically expensive

I`d still try a G3X at the right price for its size to zoom ratio, slow or otherwise but it looks like a G7X mk2 or 3 is the answer and lose the EVF, I`m simply not paying RX100 MK6  / G5X Mk2 money for a pocket camera
