    I appreciate your video, real world. Tough decision regarding which one to buy, both nice cameras. Some feedback here...1- Regarding the touch screens they are all hard to see in bright skies so I can never relying on them. 2- Also the shallow depth of field can be achieved by moving back and using the zoom to achieve the shallow depth of foiled. F1.8 vs. 2.8 basically 1-stop. I shot with a 3.5 for 12 years and you learn how to push and control your shutter and iso. The processors are both excellent. 3- Focus sped is a bigger deal to me much more so than the faster lens on the Canon. You can miss way too many shots with out of focus images or not realize this until after you get home. So for me the focus trumps the faster lense. 4- Also regarding color, I believe that becomes a bit of a subjective analysis and in reality post processing can usually achieve whatever desired result you are looking for. 5- I wholeheartedly agree with the hand feel of the small Sony which is not ergonomic. The Canon feels more natural to me. The smaller size of the Sony makes a true pocket camera very convenient and the Cannon is surely small enough for baggy cargo or a small waist belt. 6- If you are traveling I think the overall flexibility of the video and 200 zoom in the Sony deliver options the Canon does not. 7- Operating menus ... in my experience you learn them and they become second nature. But easier is better. 8- Last but not least price. If you spending $900. but wanted a $1200 camera get the $1200 camera you will never look back over $300. Whichever camera you buy they will both create great images in a very very convent package.

    Awesome review! I am a global traveler who wanted a compact camera to bring with me on my trips. The Canon G5X Mark ii has been just that. Everything you shared during your comparison video is validated by my user experience. I have found jpeg performance right out of my camera amazing in both low light and normal daylight shooting conditions. Macro performance is outstanding as is bokeh. While not an inexpensive p/s camera at $899, the image and build quality plus EVF and zoom focal length made this the choice for me over the G7X iii (more for video vloggers). Keep up the excellent high quality reviews!

I am returning it and have been looking at both these exact cameras for consideration as a replacement. Since I only shoot photography and have no need for video or 4k, I could not appreciate your video more. The timing on finding this video could not have been more perfect. Thank you so much for you views on photography, my hobby and passion.

    This is a very good review from a photography perspective. I'm currently trying to decide which of these 2 to buy. I get what you are saying re, canon colors, faster lens, better bokeh but I still think autofocus trumps it all. Colors can be adjusted in software, 1 stop of aperature will not make a huge difference in bokeh....I'd suggest that the bokeh due to the longer focal length on the sony would equal the bokeh of the canon. The ability to shoot at a lower iso on the canon due to the faster lens......its only 1 stop and noise can be effectively removed in software such as topaz denoise or a myriad of other photo editing software. Therefore, personally I don't see the advantages that the canon has. I guess if you were not willing to process your photos then sure, it might have a slight advantage but anyone who is actually into photography has no issues tweeking a raw file. Focus accuracy however cannot be corrected and an out of focus shot is basically useless. Anyway this is just my personal opinion and I respect that you have a different opinion. I did really enjoy your video!

    Each of these devices has its own strengths when it comes to photography. It’s capable of capturing high-quality photos and has a good autofocus system. The Lumix TZ200 is a dedicated camera with a ” sensor and a 24-360mm equivalent lens, offering a versatile zoom range. However, its lens quality isn’t very consistent.

    Thank you, I’ve always found canon to be great image quality I’ve always been a fan of canon. Sony colors and stuff aren’t always the best out of the box, but being a point and shoot, I would think most people would want the fast good auto focus to get the shot in focus and take the picture every time. A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush... an in focus picture that has slightly off colors is better than missing the moment completely fiddling with the focus or getting a bunch of blurry out of focus pictures. Last vacation I was on I had the EOS M50 and took like 650+ pictures, it nailed the focus every single time if Canon gave better focus on these I would be all over it!

    Interesting review - I was a faithful Canon G-series user from the original G1 and several others (only the models with fully articulated screens) ending with the G12, now with a Sony RX100. For me the outstanding autofocus and extra reach swung the decision towards the Sony. But if you want a brighter lens and don't need the extra reach, the GX5 II or the Sony RX100VA are good choices. In case any viewer is worried by the RX100's lack of grip (as mentioned in the video), you can buy the Sony AGR2 grip for very little money. It's easy to install and for me that fixed the problem.

    Thanks for the review. I struggle with the F1.8 vs 2.8 on the Sony. I have a Canon F2.0 now, a very old S95, but I like it. You have discussed, like many have, the Sony focus, being great. The canon, not quite as good, but "OK". I liked that you commented on the Sony 200mm - not really needed in a pocket camera and anyone buying will trade off the F1.8 Canon vs the 200mm of the Sony - but I think I'll go with the Canon and work around the non-instant focus. If Sony had the F1.8, and out to 100mm, (or 200 as it is now), I'd pay the extra and get the Sony. Sure, crank up the ISO but then noise starts to become an issue. I think the 1" sensors will be a major improvement over the S95, and video quality will be better on either camera, so I'm ahead of the game on both these points too.

    g5x ii vs rx100 m6 please suggest me which camera should I buy. I use for picture only don't use video. I don't use zoom lens more than 120 mm so I prefer lens and aperture of g5x ii more than rx100 m6 but g5x ii is slow focus and doesn't has PDAF focus. I want PDAF focus on g5x ii lens. I can't decide which camera should I buy for 2 month

    Thanks for your awesome video... Please, please, since you lean to the photo side of these cameras, is there any hope you would do a comparison of the G5X II with the Panasonic ZS200 ? I know, the ZS lacks on lens speed and is may be softer than the Canon one but it's the only 1" compact with that huge 24-360 range and it would be very interesting to see how the 2 compare on image quality for their identical range of 24-120. (As it's the G7X III which is 24-100 whereas the G5X II is 24-120 optical). Thank you...

    I heard Sony is so much sharper at 200mm, that it's very close to Panasonic's 360mm. Pana's 250mm model (TZ100) is sharper than 360mm model at least. Also the 360mm model is even slower starting at f/3.3@24mm. But TZ200 (has different names in different areas, I mean the 360mm model) is still best in class, longest 1" pocket camera. So it's a decent option, but Sony is probably better. Sorry I haven't investigated this more, because I'm going with Canon, and Pana is even farer from what I want.

    Very late to this party. I have the Canon. My shooting buddy has the Sony. We are both stills shooters. We are both happy with our choices, because we bought them for different purposes. He wanted a shirt-pocket camera for outdoor use, including detail shots. Mine is for indoor shooting without flash in addition to general outdoor shooting, so I needed the faster lens, but I don't need more reach than 100mm (FF=). So both our choices were good fits for our needs. It's not about Canon vs Sony. It's about choosing cameras as tools. Which one is better? That's the wrong question. The question is which one is the better fit for the job you're asking it to perform.

    One thing I didn't hear mentioned which is something to point out. For those who prefer a faster lens and don't need the 200mm in the Sony...Most of the earlier iterations of the RX100 are still available as new cameras which is why I bought the RX100 VA with the 1.8 to 2.8 equivalent 24-70mm lens and many of the other features of the VII. With Sony's excellent Clear Image Zoom option turned on, it gets out to about 135mm field of view when that might be needed. Oh, and the price points are less too!

    Great video. Looking for a good compact camera to take with me everyday. I got down to these two in choice but I mainly take photos early morning or late evening due to work and the Canon 1.8 caught my attention, but review sites mainly tell me the Sony is king always due to video. I only shoot stills and I am used to contrast AF due to my M43 cameras. Really enjoyed your style of review and I think I will order a Canon.

    Got a new DSLR 90D that shoots 4k. The files were massive and my 'system/ software' was outdated. Got a brand spanking new Powerspec computer and now shoot video in 1080p/30. I shoot landscape and lately have been taking mostly photo's with the old G16 RAW A/P. Pictures are more fun for me than video other than those super zoom pans from miles away which requires the heavy stuff. As I'm getting OLD the compact cameras are really intriguing me. The G16 got me hooked.

    Had both and settled on the Cannon as I wanted best photo management, rather than video. Plus the Canon menus with touchscreen outdoes the Sony by a long way, as well as having the much better feel in the hand. Can’t understand why Sony do not add a handgrip as standard. Very, very pleased with the Canon G5 X Mkii. Great camera, coupled with the SX740 HS for everyday carry. And this from a long time Panasonic fan.

    This is the review I have been waiting for. I don't give a darn about video..for that I can use my phone. I'm pretty much sold on the Canon here for PHOTOGRAPHY, and I can live with a little slower auto focus etc. My issue is I am a current owner of the Panasonic LX100II. I actually love that camera and I'm almost sure? it will beat both the RX100 and G5XII for pure image quality, low noise, less chromatic aberration that I have seen in many GX5II samples on the net, and creamy bokeh etc. Size wise I don't think it's all that more large than the G5XII Yup no flip screen..so adios to selfies...don't care..However I do like the longer zoom on the G5XII and my issue with the LX100II is, dust on the sensor. My first one I returned as within one day I saw a couple dust spots. So the second one has been great but I have to be SO ultra careful with it...blowing dust off the lens EVERY time I use it..or actually lol, I walk around with a tiny piece of that blue painter's tape, and dab the lens barrel to get any tiny dust it may have off before shutting it off. I wonder if you have tried the LX100II? but..as I say I have to be so careful with it "I am not enjoying using it so much" Image quality though I do think the LX100 is a winner on pure image quality vs the Sony AND Canon? But having to be so careful using it meh??..hence I may get the Canon...GREAT review!!!

    So I just bought the Canon and borrowed my friends Sony RX100 V. These 2 are almost the same price and I have to say I am surprised at how much better the Canon seems. Honestly I thought I would prefer the Sony (and I wanted to because it is smaller and more pocketable) but the Canon seems superior for pictures almost everywhere. I have taken photos of plants, night shots, people and my pet tropical frogs and the Sony’s colours always seem way more off compared to the Canon and real life. They often seem so washed out or like there is more over exposure, and the night shots were pretty bad. I’m fairly certain I haven’t used it incorrectly as I am relatively experienced with cameras and photography. The Canon takes a much nicer shot. The Sony does have a quicker auto focus but if the end result is a far more inferior picture then who cares. I would dispute the build quality claim though. I actually think the Canon feels like a much cheaper product. The pop up viewfinder doesn’t click up anywhere near as nicely, and the ring dial around the lens is very plastic feeling and clunky. I think the Sony feels like a far better finish and something that would stand the test of time. The touchscreen of the Canon is great, the menus and ‘user friendly’ feel of the Sony is great. Overall though comparing 2 I’d go Canon for sure. I don’t know about the Sony Vi or Vii but the V doesn’t compare for images at all to the G5X ii.

    For me, top notch AF performance is even more important when working with small viewfinders and screens. I own a mark iii sony, and will keep it for the slightly faster lens. But I hope to acquire the mark vii at some point for the vastly improved focusing ability and zoom range. As far as the color, Sony does give you a tool to adjust the picture profile, if you prefer the cooler look.

    The answer to the touchscreen question: a camera you take on hikes is more likely to fall. Once the touchscreen is broke, the camera is unusable. Happened to me on the sony tx-30. I got the lumix ft4 afterwards: it is indeed annoying to go through the menus, but it s safer when traveling with it. I guess sony wanted to avoid such issues with the rx100 vii.

    i am currently choosing mainly between these two cameras. my nikon p300 series was my go to for over ten years but the last (P340) died recently and nikon doesn't make them or anything like it anymore. I am not a vlogger and any video i shoot is purely incidental; I am a photographer, an old-school 35 mm film one. Yes getting shots in focus quickly is important, and I hear the sony is superior at that. but what I also need is the ability to change certain key settings -- iso, exposure compensation, aperture, shutter speed, white balance, aspect ration, monochrome -- quickly and easily, without digging through mountains of menus. and I need something pocketable. I've taken some great interiors at locations like the Metropolitan Opera House, you need a wide aperture. I don't like the Sony's red hue in several of the photo examples -- it's why I select neutral over vivid, why i shot with ektachrome for critical work. I'm leaning toward the canon.

I looked through the pop up view finder and noticed I could not see anything clear - any camera settings in the view finder. I looked around for some sort of 'focus' and did not see any. Did I miss something? I'll be the first to admit that I wear reading glasses at age 67 - and nothing is clear up close, but if I can't focus the EVF then its useless to me. Did I miss something?
