It’s look like Canon is now busy in preparing Fuji X100F competitor. According to a latest rumors coming from an new source the upcoming Canon G1X Mark III camera may have a APS-C sensor. If we look at the current sensor size of the camera we will find that the APS-C sensor is quietly 20% more bigger than Canon 1.5 inch sensor. But there is nothing to get excited about since the rumor mill says the information is coming from a new source, so take it with a a pinch of salt.
But at the same time if you look at the patents, Canon does have a compact camera with a APS-C size sensor as we have published on on July 16th, 2016 and on the same day we got a lot of emails saying So is this a G1X II replacement?
PS: As we have mentioned earlier the Canon G1X camera life cycle was 2 year and 1 month and current Canon G1X Mark II camera is 2 years, 8 months old. So announcement of new product is expected soon.

The sensor of both the camera features same resolution. And the ISO range of both the camera is almost same. But the biggest difference is fabrication of Phase AF points inside the sensor of Sony RX100 V camera. The sensor of the camera carries 315 AF points that helps to lock down AF in no time.
Sony added new integrated DRAM chip on the camera that improves speed of processing, it help buffer to increase its speed and limit. Hence with the Sony RX100V you can capture 24frames a second @ 20 Megapixels.
The other major addition is front-end LSI. LSI means Large scale integration of transistors. By adding front-end LSI and DRAM chip the overall performance, image & video quality of the Sony RX100 V will be greatly improved compared to its predecessor.
The Hybrid AF system of the camera will help users to do blazing fast AF while recording videos. And I hope this time the RX100 V is free from overheating and other issues as faced by Sony RX100 MIV users while recording 4K videos.
Short Battery can emerge as a big problem to Sony RX100V users since 220 Shots limit can be crossed any time while shooting a event or when you are traveling outside. So we suggest to keep extra battery pack always when you have RX100V.
Verdict:
Sony RX100 V camera contains a lot of improvement from inside. The Sony RX100V camera new sensor with Hybrid AF points, front-end LSI and DRAM Chip for performance improvement. We recommend you to get Sony RX100V camera over RX100IV.
