Re: A Bit Disappointed with the G5X

I think expectations have been heavily pumped up with the 1" sensor. These compacts do seem to get really good results for their size but when I put up the G1X Mk II with its supposedly below par sensor in the DPR new studio tool at ISO 12,800 versus the 1" cameras the G1X II seems hardly bothered but the 1" stuff is falling apart in a big way and even the LX100 is struggling for that matter.

It is very difficult to make sense of all all these cameras with the talk around them just adding to the confusion.

Just to be clear, I was not saying the G12 produced better pictures....what I was trying to say was that the lens on the G5X did not seem to be good enough to take advantage of the increased pixel density vs the G12. The net effect being that the G5X did not necessarily produce better or sharper images than the G12.
