Very poor image quality from G1x MK 2 (in my opinion!)

Re: Very poor image quality from G1x MK 2 (in my opinion!)

They look good to me. 2nd picture, I can see eyelash detail, count the stitching in her clothes, almost count pores. Unless your printing Big posters, you shouldn't see that looking through a shower door effect, which I have also noticed on mine. It does look best at ISO 100, you have the sweet spot on the aperture. Background looks good, great hair detail, Try printing one to see how it looks. I cropped a photo to 1/10 and printed it on a 4x6, so looking at a section if it was 40" by 60" print, it was soft, but viewing at 4~5' looking pretty good, many folks went Wow! 8x12's look great, 12x18's very good.

I've never shot Sooo many shots at 3200 ISO ever, Amazed how good they look, but still,,, I always try to keep it at ISO 100, tripod if needed.

Perfect, No, but so far I'm happy with the G1X II.
