Ladies and gents,

I'm returning to the G5X II world.
rinse and repeat...
missing out on the goodness of m6II +32 + 11-22 + PL5
No, I should’ve never left; Lightroom having true color match support changes things in all fairness. I couldn’t get the colors I wanted from the G5x II before, now I can, without an M. I do have to pony up for LR annually though, I’m fine with that caveat. You get what you pay for often in life; it’s a fair trade for convenience and results at a cost.
I tried LR last night on my old M6II RAWs from Sigmas, that unfortunately isn’t such a happy ending; LRs M6II match is the same as the one I adapted from the M50; not a true match. Metering / exposure from Sigmas is a mess still in LR even though I’m getting more true to Canon colors, it’s a hassle to have to play with exposure significantly to get desired results.
I am giving the M thought as a utility camera, think meets my non-standard shooting like macro work, landscape, telephoto shooting which the G5x II doesn’t do as good of a job at, but, the R fills this gap too. Haven’t decided yet. No rush either. G5x II arrives later this week and I plan to take it one step at a time.
all the way from Canada- hope you get a good one
The last one I had was, it was fine.
But, yes, so do I.
I’d like to have the next version but they probably will not make it
So that's the catch, the one hangup of the G5X II, and it's a small one in my book, the lack of phase detect on sensor. That prevents it from being a 10/10. We probably won't see a G5X III though. The reality is two fold...
1. Canon uses DPAF for phase detect on sensor, not pixel line scanning ala Sony, except, for the EOS M3. Canon's not going to be keen to write new autofocus software for a single implementation. This may never happen as such, and there is a lack of "better" sensor out there in this class to replace the Sony RX100 IV sensor in there now.
2. The inventory / supply chain crunch means even the existing G5X II is now nearly extinct. CameraCanada is the only source I could find that can ship a new copy state-side, without turning to eBay to pay a $500 premium for a "new" but non-USA warranty backed unit. That's as of this post, it won't be long before they are out too.
Canon may do a G1X IV someday, maybe not though, with their own APS-C sensor. I can only hope. I'm not counting on it.
