I don't know if I need a push, or need to be talked out of a G9X

Re: I don't know if I need a push, or need to be talked out of a G9X

Thanks Mark, for posting that link. I didn't know about that site. Actually, I would say the XZ-2 (MX-1 by proxy) image looks a little better at ISO 200. Looking at the left of the frame at the model's sweater sleeve, we can distinguish the individual yarns in the XZ-2's pic. That may be an artifact of JPG processing. One thing dpreview commented on in the XZ-1 review was that Olympus' JPG processing is very good.

Part might also be that it is a better lens. Canon must have made some lens compromises (other than speed) in the interest of miniaturization. There are some reports of softness at 28mm, for example.

To me, the fact that it is so close, even though the G9X is half the size, is just amazing. It all comes down that sensor that is twice as big.
