Please look at the 3rd photo - taken in a candy store. This shot was at the widest end of the zoom range - reportedly the weakest part of the lens. The shot was taken at 1/40th of a second with my arms stretched out from my body, so maybe there could be a little softness from camera movement. But a bad lens? That's just total nonsense.

Your post is only a 2 MP image, not enough to seriously evaluate anything. Please post a full 20 MP image.

That's correct, I didn't upload the full size image. The image I posted is approximately 19 x 10.5 inches on my computer screen. That's not large enough to pixel peep, but it's plenty large enough to see what the image looks like. My post was not about the ability to pixel peep the G7X. My post was about the comment that the camera has a "horribly compromised" lens. In my opinion, that's a gross exaggeration.

In reality, the G7X is a small pocket camera with a small lens and a 1 inch sensor. It doesn't hold up to pixel peeping like a like a larger camera will. I own full frame and APS-C bodies, but I don't hold the G7X up to the same standards as those cameras.
