Where is my new camera ? ... the just almost perfect one
1

I have got the Money for a new and better high end compact camera ... but I fail to find a camera that can replace my beloved Powershot G12. Both the G7X and the G16 fails when it comes to sharpness at wideangle. The G7X, which I find too small, has a nice big sensor but does not have the macro potential as my G12. The G16, apart from the lack in sharpness at wideangle, have a fixed screen and I love my G12´ fully articulated screen. The S120 actually does the job pretty good - almost as Sharp as the G12 and a lot quickker but ... it´s so tiny ...and where is my articulated screen. If they can make a tiny camera as the G7X with a 1" inch sensor and a hinged screen, it can´t be a problem at all to make it a Little bigger and give it a better lens - sharper at the wide end and with better macro potential. My perfect camera would be in the size of something between the G16 and the G7X - but closer to the G16 - it´s such a nice thing to have something to hold on to

I have tried the mentioned cameras and made some test photos my self but the "Comparometer" at Imaging Ressource has been a geat Tool in this "investigation".
