I picked up a G5X after Xmas as an upgrade to my G12. The G12 has been my trusted travel companion when I don't want to lug around my DSLR gear. I have to say I am a little disappointed. It has all the features I wanted and the OVF is great. But the the lens and noise performance is not what I had hoped.
Looking at the same RAW images taken on both cameras, the lens resolution seems to be around the same, so that there appears to be no benefit in having almost twice as many pixels, the G5X lens is definitely soft, particularly at the wide end.
There's a reason that the corrected G5X and G7X images look soft at the wide end: the original image suffers from heavy barrel distortion and vignetting. The image needs a lot of stretching to correct it, which softens it:
Uncorrected image shows strong barrel distortion and vignetting. The projected image circle doesn't cover the full sensor area.
My I ask where was that photo taken?
Varadero, Cuba. More in:
