Another surprise was how often the G7 X display the 'yellow box of doom', which means that it was unable to lock focus. zoom which meant the camera maintained much more of its large sensor advantage as you zoomed in (rather than stifling it with the F4. At lower ISOs there's not much difference between shots from the G7 X and RX100 III when shot Raw, especially after the G7 X has had some extra sharpening applied. Neither camera does a spectacular job at ISO 6400 or 12800, but the Sony's JPG engine outputs a bit more contrast and detail at the highest sensitivites, even if its output is a bit messier than that of the Canon.

CameraWindow has a location log option; if you enable it, you can use it to add location data to photos on the camera, assuming that the clocks are set the same on the two devices.

What the above graph should make clear is that the G7 X is amongst the most consistently bright compacts on the market, once sensor size has been taken into account, which should give excellent control over depth-of-field (including at focal lengths useful for classic portraiture) and low light performance. It can now not only be folded up but also down by 45 degrees, which makes overhead shots much easier. optical zoom offers plenty of flexibility, while the large aperture enables a depth of field and bokeh effects.
