for all of you using either the G7X or the G16, I'm looking at these and the sony rx100 series. I'm a canon user, so I'm inclined to go with canon, but the rx100 is very tempting. what made you guys pass on that and go with the g16 or g7x?

Both uses the similar sensor. Canon (60D Gripped | 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS | 40mm f2.8 | 50mm f1.8 | 70-200 F4L IS| 430 EXII)

Dec 04, 2014 09:39 | #4 so I ended up buying the rx100m2, used it for a week or so, then returned it. IQ seemed quite good for a small camera, but what I couldn't get past was the controls on the camera. I can't stand having to go through menus to find iso, shutter speed and aperture. I also found that the auto focus, while decently quick, was difficult to refine and was more like trying to paint small details with paint roller. I just couldn't do it. flickr

The RX seems to be more available used than the g7x so pricing is pretty similar. Any huge difference in image quality or are they pretty much equal? Learning is a Gradual Process..... It takes Time.

Dec 26, 2014 23:11 | #8 So after looking at everything, trying out the rx100m2 and returning it, I'm currently playing around with the Olympus em1 and the 12-40 f 2.8 lens. Not exactly what I was thinking when I started this thread but I'm enjoying it flickr
