This is stunning from a 1" sensor. And a smartphone cannot touch the colors and detail retained in these circumstances with a 10ft pole. Toilet roll issues aside, f/1.8 is f/1.8 in terms of light gathering capability. It's why you'd shoot a G5X II over say a RX100 VI. And it shows with indoor / low light shooting

the lens de-toilet-rolls very quickly as you zoom, far quicker than the G7X optic , its gone as is most of the distortion by 12mm - there is less distortion than the G7X too and less other mess like CA etc . the more I use the G5X-II the more and more improvements over the G7X series lens I`m finding and like that lens, it gets better and better as you zoom . it`s superb at 120mm F2.8 at all distances, in fairness the G7X lens was very good at 100mm F2.8 - the Sonys start off good at 24mm and get worse and worse as you zoom from my Experience with the MK1, MK3 and a trial of the Mk6

G5X-II on walkabout - 100% Crops or fullsize Developed in Capture one with only Distortion correction

Vignetting added my me in Photoshop after for effect

Lens crops well at 120mm Infinity
