The trouble with 1" is the lack of differentiation from smartphone quality at times.

In JPG there`s little between 1" M43 and APS_C as well , the NR they load up at base ISO kills detail but even 1" sensors have far more detail in RAW even than the biggest phone sensors because phone sensors are stops noisier even at base ...... prob with the G1X-3 is that it gives up all its APS_C advantage with that very slow short lens (which isn`t marvellous optically wideopen either)

Shooting RAW with the G5X II and using a good post processor makes a difference here where the shot above, you can't do with an iPhone, in terms of color and detail retention. Just not possible. Physics at work here of having a larger sensor, larger lens.

capture one pulls out amazing details from the 1" brigade and overexposing and pulling back in RAW gives back the clean skies which the likes of the RX10 Mk3 & 4 get with ISO64
