Camera Similar to G1X (lemmy.today)

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

I was curious if anything with newer technology or improved features was around since the G1XIII is a tad bit older now. I might end up getting a used one as I'm not finding anything else quite like it. Do you know if there is a filter adapter for it? I found one for the MkII but not III (I haven't looked much into it however).

I don't think anyone has done an update, no. Honestly, the feature I never expected to want until I got a Ricoh GRIIIx a few months earlier is highlight weighted exposure meeting. Since it's not an SLR however you can obviously see the histo anyway.

It has a wee filter ring already for the lens cap to clip into. Apparently some folks just stick a UV filter on and do away with the lens cap.
