fuji 14mm lens or Cannon G7X II
Discussion
option one is buy a 14mm to bung on the XT20. For landscape, occasional northern lights.
Option two is buy a g7x mk2 which will replace my aging x70, for road cycling abroad and light travel use. But then I'm without a wide angle on my xt20. Which might be ok if the lens on the cannon g7x will provide a wide view (unsure on actual focal length, might be a 35mm crop). Will also be used for occasional northern lights stuff.
What would you do?

I have an XT1 and I've recently bought a second hand Fuji 14mm to go with it, which I'm rather enjoying. I also have an old RX100 (Mk1), so not a direct comparison to the G7X but similar concept and same sensor size etc.
I've found that the only time I ever use the RX100 is when I go mountainbiking somewhere interesting and want to take better photos than my phone can manage, but without carrying much. If I'm on foot instead of the bike then carrying a bigger camera isn't an issue.
The Fuji is just so much more satisfying and enjoyable to use with great manual controls etc, and the results are better too (especially in lower light).
