Re: APS-C Companion: S-series or G7X?

my s90 is still a keeper - ref: my reply to "The s90 keeps pumping out"

same dilemma as you - waiting to read more reviews of the G7X MII but also tempted with the G5x even though bigger

funny you mentioned flexibility of the A6000 ( i pulled the trigger on the NEX6 w/ 16-50kit lens) and I find the s90 still being the more versatile camera - pocketable, better macro, faster lens, better color rendition and tonality

I'm very disappointed with NEX6 - poor AF( that i'm sure they addressed in your version), terrible LCD screen display, horrible menu interface, better ISO performance negated by rapid ISO ramping)

I suspect the mirror slap of the NEX also contributes to poor misses due less than sharp images ( i know most might attribute it to the kit zoom)

End of the day I shoot what I want with the my s90 and I nail my shot much easier.
