I very much enjoy my G7X II. It is very capable if not impressive. Like so many things, it is more about being ISO limited (~800-1,000).
As for improvements, I'd love to see DPAF and an external mic jack. Also, if they could get the pop-up flash to extend just a little bit more off axis.
I have been very pleased with my G7X II. I bought it just over a year ago to take on a long driving trip through the Rockies that ended with coming home via the Deep South.
http://www.stevelee.name/rockiesroadtrip/index.html I threw the S120 into my bag, too, as a backup, and just in case I found the extra thickness of the G unhandy. I wound up not using the S at all. The G didn't work in my shirt pocket, but pants and jacket pockets worked fine. And I have been quite pleased with the pictures. When I toured Britain in the spring, I didn't take the S120 along at all. I've made some prints on 13" x 19" paper to frame and hang on my walls, and they look great. I did not use the wifi function to get the GPS tags from my iPhone nearly as much as I should have, since I feared the drain on both batteries from leaving that on. Now I would have liked to know precisely where I was on the Irish coast at some points.
The 6D2 is my new toy, and I'm enjoying trying things with it. But it will stay home in December when I head to Hawaii. Years ago when I was more serious about photography, I had to stop taking a camera with me at all when I traveled so that I would do things other than take pictures. Now I can take a small, quality, unobtrusive camera with me, not be obsessed by photography, and still come home with pictures I can be proud of. And going through my pictures soon after each trip reinforces my memories.
I don't miss the slight extra zoom reach of the S120 (120mm equivalent vs. 100mm). And I realize that with the extra resolution of the G7X II, I can crop the picture more than enough to make up the difference, and still have a few more pixels.
