nice to know you got these results vs the d7200. Im looking to replace an old T3i so this might be enough

I photograph my daughter's dance performance. I did mostly the D7200 with the f/2.8 70-200 lens, which is awesome. But when I needed a wider shot I used the G5xii and I was very impressed with the image quality. Some were quite close in quality.
It was not a substitute but it was great proof of concept that I could get excellent shots with the G5xii in a low light dance situation if I didn't/couldn't bring my D7200.
And the D7200 with the slow 18-300 didn't hold up a chance to the G5xii in low light, which really amazes me. Shows how important a larger aperture really is. Point and shoot better than a DSLR shouldn't ever be the case - at least that is what I used to think.
