This camera is noisy at mid-iso but included with dxo PL5 - which I highly recommend - I can't stand dpp for noise redux and LR isn't much better whereas PL5 is class leading and would be a must have for me if I ever buy a 1 inch sensor
I may give it a shot when my LR subscription is up for grabs. I was less impressed last round I gave it a go, but like LR, sure, it deserves a second chance.
Did PL5 come out this past year?
DxO PhotoLab 5 Elite -- I got my version 5.0 at end of October. Then they keep updating version 5 -- we're up to version 5.2 -- and it is really good
I tried DXO PL a little over a year ago via the trial. Dunno if they permit redos on the trials though. Don’t know if it was 4 or 5 back then.
it was version 4 until October 2021
the mid to high iso's you'll be at with this camera would really benefit with the dxo deep prime -- class leading noise redux.
also I like dxo's class leading distortion corrections
and it works on files right in their own folders -- which I really like versus that LR catalogue nonsense which has caused me issues over the years

Just a demonstration that straight out of camera JPEGs from the G5x II are just fine. And, yes, editing RAWs can help, but not as much as you might think in some cases.
Some folks prefer AWB-A, others prefer AWB-W.
Medium size, is plenty for most applications, and the files are small compared to large JPEGs. 1-2MB vs 8-12MB.
The selfie was done by a 6yr old; auto mode, untrained hands. The G5x II is REALLY good in auto for those who would consider themselves a novice to photography. Good Image stabilization, good autofocus and auto exposure go a long ways, in auto…
