I’m wondering if anyone knows of a camera still being produced similar to the Canon G1X MkIII. I’ve been using a 5D MkIII for years but want something smaller for backpacking that still packs a great quality sensor, glass, and full featured manual mode with RAW format. It doesn’t have to be Canon either. Thanks

Edit: probably an APS-C size sensor or larger

    fixed lens cameras are a relatively niche thing nowerdays, despite the hype around thr fuji x100vi and the rico gr3.

    i’d look for a micro-four-thirds camera like the om system om5/olympus e5. The micro-four-thirds sensors are very good, despite being smaller, the system offers a ton of good glass that tends to be lighter and smaller than aps-c or fullframe equivalents, so very backpackable.

      I know the M4/3rds are pretty good, I’m just worried about low light performance as I do lots of sunset, blue hour, and night photography. Do you have knowledge on that? Maybe they’re better now than I realize. I haven’t heard of the Rico either, I’ll check that out.
