Hi,
It's a very general question, any input would be appreciated:
I have a Canon G9 which is still working nicely, and used only on trips, about 3-4 times a year. Day to day it's my phone (currently Xperia z3).
I feel envy with new cams' sensor size, 24-28mm equiv. focal lenth and wider aperture, but can't justify investing in something new for only a few times a year. If I'd use more often, then my candidates would be Canong G7x (441$ here) or Lumix LX100 (+200$).
Keep in mind, i'm a casual user who likes an advanced experience, using manual modes often.
So...should I upgrade?
NO NO NO. If you are happy with your day-to-day shots cam than your fine G9 is already a major overkill.
do you think a new generation camera will give better results?
sure it will, but will you be REALLY happy with just a better picture? If that was the case than you prob. used your G9 far more often.
my next trip will be in December to Barcelona, which should be great for street and architecture shots.
yeahhh fine architecture there... Have fun on your trip and enjoy your G9.
regards Peter
Thanks,
O.
Completely agree with Speedy... use your G9 on your 3/4 times a year and your phone for the rest...
