Re: Upgrade from G11 to G7X - Is it worth it?

I think this type of test is very subjective to the person looking at the images. It depends what type of photography you are in to. At first glance yes they do look similar on a computer screen...if you print, then the larger G7X sensor will give larger prints. However, the G11 is a great little package. I used to have one. Now a G1X. In the right hands, both cameras perform under normal daylight conditions and it if often hard to tell the difference unless you are looking for minor differences. I would assume the G7X is similar. When the light falls, then the bigger sensor of the G7X will come into its own - So if you want larger prints in daylight conditions and a camera for darker conditions this is ideal. The G11 won't compete there. Put side by side in DP reviews to see ISO tests. If you mainly shoot daylight, then it will be hard to tell the difference in my experience. Colour (white balance?) and sharpness are slightly different in the examples, plus the wider lens on the G7X is a plus? This is very subjective and down to personal taste though....😎
