A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

It won’t, but don’t let it dissuade you. Little 1” compacts are quite powerful & a nice alternative to carrying a bigger camera. I enjoy using them.
You can get decent night shots, BTW. May require a mini tripod, or just placing camera on a table… My G9XII has a star trail mode which is nice.
That’s actually the answer I was looking for lol. I don’t need the exact image quality that I get from APS-C cameras, but at the same time I don’t want a compact that takes same kind of photos that I could take with my phone. I don’t know if Canon G7X Mark ii is up to the task, but I have seen good pics taken with it.
I’ve only used 1”, an FZ1000. I wanted a pocket camera, so I got the G9X, then a ZS100 came my way. Thats like my mini FZ.
Anyways, I’ve pulled great snaps from all of these, and have even printed some 20x16 canvases.
No, you’re not going to get full frame performance, but with care, some lovely photos.
If you don’t need the aperture, check out the ZS200. Similar to my 100, but more zoom & killer viewfinder. I appreciate the features, and def prefer viewfinder over tilt screen. Plus 25-250mm. Also, if I’m taking pocket camera candid shots at night, I’m using the phone, anyways.
