I think this comparison here is better:

Which has the best lens? Sony RX100 VII vs Canon G5 X II vs Canon G7 X III: Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com)

The downside to this comparison; near-infinity focus.

Macro focus and max bokeh at normal lengths should also be measured, but are not via this comparison. It's a good comparison nonetheless, just tells a one-sided picture favoring the RX100 VII where f/2.8 or larger is just fine. Outdoors.

No offense to DPR, but this is where they commit the sin of omission by failing to compare the G5X II lens against the RX100 VII lens like they did the G7X II vs G1X III. They clearly could, and thought about it, as this article is older. But chose not to.
