Re: A Bit Disappointed with the G5X

Hi , I too once had the trusty Canon G12 and used it just as you. I also have a Canon DSLR and many lenses.  I sold the G12 and bought the G1X new and having used that extensively I can say there is no sharper large sensor compact zoom on the market , even today. Sharp photos corner to corner ! BTW I also have owned the Canon G1X Mark 2 and returned it.  The G1x is simply amazing. If you can get beyond the slower shot to shot and the closeup issue there is no better compact zoom.  BTW The G1x does have a fast burst mode and the Canon 250 closeup filter does reduce the closeup issue . Hope this helps .
