I bought the G9X when it came out in December 2015. I wanted to upgrade for the mark II, however upon seeing the review on this website, it seemed to me that the picture quality is either the same or even a bit softer, so I skipped it and thought I'm just going to buy the mark III a year or two later. Of course at that point I didn't know the III is not going to be out for another 5 years (so far).

Consequently I shot more than 20.000 photos on the G9X. It's still working perfectly well, however I now use it mostly for video. I had the Pixel 2, 3 and now 4XL and it's just so much easier with the dynamic range and everything, that I don't see much point in carrying a dedicated camera anymore. Sure if you pixel-peep the camera is still better, but not by much.

Which brings me to another question - have you compared the video recording on G9X mark I vs. mark II? I wanted to get a decent low-light camera just for videos and the mark II is very reasonably priced, but I wonder if I'm going to see any improvement at all.
