SOOC JPEGs on the G5X II, are just okay.

Shoot RAW, and utilize either LR or another third party post processor. If not? The colors, lack.

Lightroom, from RAW

Note how much color gets lost to highlight clips alone. It's astounding. And, how much data is in those RAWs to recover it... Shooting RAW and using an editor is key with the G5X Mark II. It's not for APS-C cameras like the G1X Mark III or Canon's M series, of which I've owned all the above.
