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

There is something about your conclusion, and there is something which isn´t really problem. I found that lower quality in JPG can be seen, I didn´t like it when I saw first images, and I was about put down for my observations just because I don´t own this cam. Now we can see that there are actual owners who see the same.

But I must fight for G1X II in raw, because its ouptup for this class (compact cam with fixed lens) is awesome. You might really want too much from it. I know it´s not cheap, but it is different class with different set of advantages and flaws, and for what it is, it makes very good images in right hand.

From what I´ve seen, "far portrait shot" at ISO 320 is about right image quality wise.

You are not going to get better with small zoom lens on this kind of sensor for this kind of money. This is perfectly fine and you have nothing to "cry" about. If you need better for your money, get a DSLR, put some prime lens on it, and you´ll get better image quality. But I guess you didn´t choose that way FOR A REASON... Otherwise you taught great lessonl here, it was not cheap experience, but it needed to be done "to you".
