hi
I own the G7X since a week and I am excited. The comparison in Camera Store Trashes is not professional!
Sure the Sony is sharper in lowlight because of agressiv working sharpness. If you want (like me) you can go to P-mode and correct sharpness as well es shadows or kontrast even colour finetuning global.
I dont think anyone buys this camera as a P&S , shooting only in FullAuto-mode. If this "tester" of the G7X doesn´t know the knobs and menu-functions, he should give up his job. I have read the whole manual and have most of features prooved with 100% crops. Best results (to me) icontrast auto, shadow no, F 4.0 Sharp +1 or +2 and the focus with touch works immediatly.
Astonishing: the digiconverter works great especially with lowlight > crop of 100% (eq. 100mm opt) to crop of 50% (from eq. 100 mm opt + 2* dgital > 200mm) gives more details to the digital combination:
