How about the G1X Mark ii? Has a newer processor, longer focal length, lower aperture

I was looking at large sensor compacts with zoom and I'm surprised not many choices. And most choices date back from 2015 era.

G1X Mark III from 2017. APS-C sensor with 24-72mm equivalent f2.8-5.6 lens.

yes i am aware of this model too, but its quite pricey. roughly double the price of the G1X ii where I am at.

And the OP mentioned that "none blows away my (old) G1x Mk I for pure IQ (in good light at least)", so why not consider the G1X Mk ii?

the G1X Mk ii also has the longest focal length of any large sensor compact camera (at least from my research).
