When I heard about the arrival of a G5X, I thought GREAT, finally a real serious upate for the traditinal G compact . when I then read that it was using the Horribly compromised optic from the G7X , well that was the end of that ........
What a Waste Canon ! it`s one thing sticking a lens like that on a cam the size of an S90 but the G5X deserved - no, DEMANDED a no compromise lens, sadly canon decided to cut corners hoping no one would notice.
Ahh well, back to the big bulky G1X
A "no compromise lens" with similar specifications / price might have made it totally unattractive to most potential users, certainly in terms of size. The cynics may say they should have done better and accuse Canon of cutting corners (probably without any experience of the compromises required in lens design); the pragmatists might argue that the product meets their needs at a price they are prepared to pay.
This G7X compromised lens nonsense is just that... nonsense. All of these cameras are compromised to some degree. Every few days there's a new experienced photographer coming from DSLR posting to praise G7X IQ.
