Canon G7X macro really bad

Re: Canon G7X macro really bad

Some considerations. (I'm not a pro)

Canon G9 has a 1/1.7" sensor size, G7X 1". Quite bigger. So it's easier for G9 to focus at shorter distances. (You can also consider that G7X is 20 Mp, rather than 12 Mp that G9. So with G7X you can focus farther but that crop a lot).

Anyway, I agree that G7X cannot do wonderful macro photos, IMO. Shorter distance is about 5 cm. But result are not so bad. I don't see a lot of distorsion in my photos.
