Canon G1X II

Not me but I did have the Mk1 twice and liked it, not sure if you've had the Mk1,be surprised if not ;),but no viewfinder on the 2 unless bought separately,can you be happy without one?

Yes, I must admit that the lack of an EVF is a big issue and one which I will have to ponder before I make another mistake ;) However, there is an add-on electronic viewfinder which looks good, but is expensive.

IQ is good. It’s an APC sensor, and low light (high ISO) is mediocre. Give it some good light and shoot in raw and it can produce some fantastic images.

No viewfinder is a bit of a bummer and the add on EVF is overpriced. I also find the zoom range a little limiting.

I don’t use it much. Only if I’m going on a family outing and don’t want to lug my DSLR around and usually when I go walking I’ll use it to record potential spots of interest for returning with my main gear. I also bought the underwater housing so it’s attached to my kayak when out on the sea.
 
Thanks very much Elliott. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. You confirm other reports I have read.

Elliot ,the mkiii is APC,mki and ii are 1.5 inch which is 14% larger than micro 4/3rds but not as large as the apsc one. Very nice though.

Yes you are correct. I remember I bought it because it was the only compact I could find with a sensor that size. It was just slightly smaller than APC.
