Setup of the G1 X II was almost the same as the G7 X. Manual focusing was similarly difficult as the G7 X but for different reasons. The live view feed on th the G1 X II is very low quality. When using manual focus with a magnification assist, it literally looks like they ran the live view feed through a blur filter before sending it to the LCD. As a result it was basically impossible to gauge critical focus, especially in dark conditions. Similar to the G7 X, the manual focus distance gets reset after each photo making it impossible to hold critical focus from shot to shot. Forgetting the issues with focusing for a second, I am definitely happy with the image quality of the G1 X II. However, I don’t think that noise or details are any nicer than the smaller sensor cameras above, despite its larger sensor/lens specs. It should be noted that although the G1X II features a much larger sensor, it is also only 12.8 megapixels versus the 20+ megapixels on the G7 X and RX100 III.
