Re: G9X for size, G7X for tilting screen and ZS100 for versatility

Hi,

No matter which camera you get, there is not a perfect one. Having used both m43 systems and older good Panasonic P&S cameras, I can assure you that the G7X that I have is one of the best compromises I have ever found.

The quality of the G7X can be easily found in flickr. For me this guy here has really mastered this camera achieving excellent results:

If you are interested in the shortcomings of this little gem, you can read my review some months ago:

If I were now for an 1" camera, I would look into:

1) the G7X mk2 as all around solution

2) the G9X for its great little size

3) the ZS100 for its long zoom combined with its small size.

Definitely not an RX100 because of lack of touchscreen and high cost.

Best regards
