I really like my G1X. I've been using mine for hiking and travel for over two years and have gotten great images from it. I also us a 5D3 and the images look good next to each other. The G1X has an optically good lens and a large sensor with the same pixel pitch as the 18 MP APS C sensor. For landscape photography it has a built in level, an exposure histogram preview, and an exposure compensation knob. It also has a nice stitch assist pano mode if you are shooting jpegs. The Canon refurb site had them on sale recently; don't know if that's still going. I'm discussing the version 1 but the mk 2 is equivalent.
That said, there is also the Canon SL1 that has Canon's full 18 MP sensor (3:2 aspect ratio vs the G1X' 4:3), so a few more horizontal pixels. There is a nice 10-16, 24, and 55-250 STM lens set that is very light weight and great for hiking.
Those are the two Canons I have and would recommend for your stated use. There are also some good M4/3s mirror less systems that others will be along shortly to tout. Enjoy your search.
