Guydr,

I would love to hear your thoughts on the camera when you have the time.

Regards,

Den

Thanks! I'm surprised you had to dial down the EV so much. What metering mode are you in?

emailsucks98 · May 9, 2016

Thanks for posting these. They are straight out of camera, yes?

Even at F5.6 the corners are visibly soft w/o any pixel peeping at this wide angle... especially the left side. At F1.8 as one would like to use in low light it will be even worse... This is really a 35~100mm lens. I also think there is a bit too much saturation.

Dial down saturation, and shoot at 35mm if the corners look that bad to you. Nice to have the 24mm and f1.8 option. If not doing professional work, shouldn't matter. Nobody looking at your pictures outside of dpreview is going to be staring at the corners.

Guy, you had G7X M1 if I'm remembering correctly... What do you think so far, has focus time and accuracy improved?

Hi Den, I come back on that, when I have more time to test the cam. But for the next weeks the good weather is over. :-x

Hi Guy,

Thanks, look forward to your comments. Hope the weather improves soon. By the way, we have been to Gent and Bruges several times and have always enjoyed the beautiful architecture, kind people and wonderful food and drink.

Hi, Av mode. I always dial the EV down to -0.67 on sunny weather, I find (personal) that that give me better results. Maybe here in this case on the pic with the tractor and the pic just after that, it was a bit to dark (just sun after cloud when I push the button).

guydr · May 9, 2016

Hi, yes straight out the cam with those settings, Av. F5.6 ISO125, sunny. Sharpness and contrast +1, saturation +2. Next time saturation +1 (enough I think.

guydr · May 9, 2016

Hi Damian, You remember correct, I have also the first G7X. Let's say for the moment and on those testshots, the focus was practical instant. But I have to test the cam a lot more and in different circomstances to give you a good answer. Let's say I come back on that. ;-)

Hi Den,

from 22/4 to 1/5 were there Floralien in Gent. Good for photogaphers all over the world (but not me, I do not like the crowds). Good food and drank, no thanks, with my 102kg I have eaten enough (I am only 1.84m). :-D

Hmmmm? Yes, they look overly saturated and not that sharp. I expected more "pop" from the 1" sensor. I'm reserving judgment until more samples come across. My Fuji XQ2 with 2/3" sensor looks better, IMO.

J_dpr · May 9, 2016

Okay but I was asking about metering mode. There are three modes. Center weighted, evaluative and spot.

Thanks

guydr · May 9, 2016

Oh sorry, and thank you for teling. I just checked and it was set on spot (my bad). Changed it quickly to evaluate. Much better for those scenes.

Eric37 · May 9, 2016

Guy,

The original G7x limited the maximum shutter speed to 1 second in Aperture Priority mode; if you wanted a longer exposure you had to switch to manual mode. Has Canon fixed this limitation?

Thanks

guydr · May 9, 2016

Hi Eric,

Nope, still the same, 1" in P and AV, but 30" in M.

J_dpr · May 10, 2016

No problem - that explaines the -0.67 EV then. Thanks.

Enrico84rm · May 10, 2016

How would you compare it with G9X and RX100?

Thanks!

35-100mm is right.
