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

Re: Pocket Size G9X [Jeremy]

Hi Jon, and thanks for doing that legwork. I'm not sure how to do it.

I pixel-peeped it a little, and the apples-to-apples image from the Pentax is a little better. (look at the detail on the peppercorns in the lower left) But it wouldn't ever really be apples-to-apples, if we were shooting both for best results. What I mean by that is if I wanted the best results from each one, I'd shoot at their maximum resolutions. The Pentax's is 12 MP and the Canon's is 20 MP.

So I'm betting if we made a crop of each camera's shot at maximum resolution, I guess the G9X would be the clear winner, despite having the inferior lens.

I started reading the Ken Rockwell article you linked, but couldn't make it all the way through. His arrogant and condescending tone just ruined it for me.
