Canon M200 + EF-M 22mm f/2.0 😃

Interesting, and less expensive than the overpriced G5x. I don't know this line very well I must say, but its interesting. But the lens does stick out too much to be even coat pocketable. Anyway thanks for the pointer, IQ seems top notch. So far I have had a couple of eye openers, for one thing I will no longer look for a G1X.

and the 11-22 gives a zoom to add if you have a large coat , its truly excellent and a breath of fresh air after the rest of the M zooms which range from very poor to barely OK . with the M6-II`s cropping abiity you get to extend the "reach" of the short 22mm end too ..

The G5X-II is actually a very good camera despite its 1st gen popup EVF and flaws which could be fixed in firmware (but canon won't of course as they never do) - its such a shame they had to follow Sony's lead on ludicrously overpricing these compacts , £499 I`d say was about right , £850 is so outrageously comical its not funny .. they are obtainable mint condition used from a dealer with warranty for £599 which is a lot better but still only £30 less than the groundbreaking G1X Mk1 was brand new at launch
