If true then I am glad that Canon didn't change much at the lens.
Of course making it better is always welcome.
But there also were rumors of wider FL range at the cost of aperture.
The later would be the more important part for me.
Have you ever shot with a phone cam in dim light without flash?
Quite common subject this time of the year might be children in front of the candle lit Christmas tree.
My brother-in-law tried so and was really unhappy with the result of his toddler. Looked like in a snow storm of image noise.
I recommended a 1" camera as he was not willing to go bigger and since he has the G7x Mk II he never complained again.
Can you imagine the difference in light gathered by a 1" sensor compared to the tiny one in a smartphone?
In good light it is really hard to tell the difference. But not, if the light conditions get difficult.
so much this :)
The cases for SLRs are insanely expensive!
I own the G7XII. Great pocketable camera. Easy to pick it up and go. IQ, flash, AF, AF in low light are all significant improvements over my iPhone.
I have actually printed pictures from my G7XII, enlarged them (~11x17") and put them on my wall. Look great. iPhone pics look good, on an iPhone. I have never really liked them if I try to enlarge, etc.
People like my father seem to like them, He was a photo guy in the film days but never made a strong transition into digital. So he has good photo skills but doesn't want a huge camera.
I have never used one but I see these cameras as a good all round system for those who like to own ONE camera and want to have SOME flexibility with the zoom and REALLY are interested in reasonable IQ. I would never give my M50 + EF-M 32 away for such a camera but I like to shoot primes and do zooming by feet - but I understand that there are others who cannot walk that much ...
There is a huge difference. Following is the same image with G9 X II, SX280 HS (a small sensor compact) and my Honor 8:
Now there are better smart phones but that is pretty typical IMO.
I've been using the G7X first version and now G7X II underwater exclusively for 2 years now. Stellar results in a small package :)
(Some) People don’t think twice about dropping $1K for a phone but think it’s outrageous to spend that on a camera.
Nice catch. Hopefully they arent using some .78 cent preamp from WalMart! ;-)
