No full sensor readout video. That seems to be the best selling point of the Sony products right now. Tests I've seen posted indicate it really is a big deal.
Almost pulled the trigger on buying two rx100s last month then I played with tjem in the store and realized how much I hate the ergonimics.
Is it likely anyone else will get full sensor readout on video from their "borrowed" Sony sensors?
I'm really curious about this camera. I know everyone is a lot more excited about the Lx100. I find myself often enjoying my 60D footage more than sharper "better" cameras of other brands because I like Canon colors. I'm hoping this will have some of that magic combined with the Sony sensor.
I don't know if Canon compacts use the same kind of color science as their DSLRs. Does anyone have insight on that?
The G7 X matches Sony's best in nearly every test, producing excellent photos in almost any setting. Colors were quite accurate, white balance was outstanding, focus speeds were snappy in everything but extreme low light, and resolution was top notch. Side-by-side with shots from the new RX100 III we'd be hard-pressed to pick one over the other.

Canon's PowerShot G7X is one of the best compacts for enthusiasts in a market that's becoming increasingly well-catered for. Sure, it's hugely inspired by Sony's RX100 series, sharing the same 20 Megapixel 1in sensor and an almost identical body, but Canon's sensibly opted for a number of alternative features that make it quite a different camera to shoot with.
The camera takes pleasing images with bright saturated colours and good levels of detail which will keep even the most fussy photographer happy, considering the compact nature of the camera. Offering a wider than most lens, as well as a good telephoto reach of 100mm equivalent, along with good noise performance the Canon Powershot G7 X is highly recommended.

Canon’s G7x can deliver beautiful images in good lighting. But above ISO 800, the 1 inch sensor seems to deliver images that fall apart very quickly.

Image-quality is high, falling closer to a mirrorless than the typical compact. Noise-levels are impressively low with good retention of details. Sharpness is good when stopped down until ISO 1600, before noise-reduction starts eating details and dynamic-range, which is otherwise great, drops. Color and Auto WB could stand to be improved but generally quite good, as is metering.
The FG7X Housing was specifically designed for the Canon G7 X, thereby providing the most compact, sturdy and ergonomic housing in the market for this camera.
