One light is not one single beam light especially when something like a beauty dish is attached. As Larry mentioned, the dish size (and maybe its shape as well) plays a role here. A little...

The bottom line is to get a clear and clean picture and the G1X is able to help us to achieve this vital goal. The simple and cheap optical viewfinder on G1X deserves its credit here.

No, there isn't any message about a Panasonic G1X, I believe. :)

Wooo! It is really sharp and clean. The DOF is long enough for the flower and short enough to blur the background.

I believe that the IQ of the G1X + Raynox 250 could be better. ;)

The cap width shown on the previous 1st picture is 41mm and the 1.5" sensor width is 18.7mm. So the macro reproduction ratio is around 1:2.2 Here is an image of the cap without the macro lens. It...

I get a medal adapter for G1X with 58mm for filters. I clamp the Raynox M-250 and its adapter on the G1X to get a better macro power. Here are what the set looks like and a macro of the Canon...

I had a Panasonic FZ50, + 1.7X TCON for birding and + Raynox 250D for ladybug. Since the 1/1.7" on the FZ50 was old and its ISO 200+ showed quite noisy, I got a Canon G1X mainly for low light. I...

Yes, sure it is and will be for quite a long from now.

People needs better IQ. If, a 1000mm zoom with a tiny sensor gives a better IQ of a wild bird than a 200mm lens on a DSLR does (shooting from a same distance and cropping), then the stupid long...

Before you manage to get the extension tube length 'right', just try to use your one hand to hold the teleconverter closely in contact with your camera. I would suggest to use your elbows rather...

The whole frame of this iso 12800 shows no noise to me. So, why is the one with iso 160? Is it the evening blue sky? The other three brown corners show noise too. However, the one of candle in...

I bought my G1X mainly for its low light performance. Since Auto allows to iso 1600 only and SCN may all the way up to 12800, I was wondering which mode is better as far as the noise is concerned....

Did you use the Night mode under SCN or just Auto for your 1st picture (iso 160)? I double click it and the upperleft corner shows quite a lot of noise.

If you play your pictures on your screen most of the time and your screen is around $300 or so, I would suggest to buy a good one (not a big one) at the price of the G1-X and do make sure to use...

One question I never got a satisfied answer: Why do almost all the jet printers have different resolutions (dpis) in vertical and horizontal directions? Are the qualities different (logically)...

Hope these two help. It is somewhat difficult for me to say if the pictures are taken at the shortest focusing distance....
