Re: A Bit Disappointed with the G5X

Yikes, that looks pretty bad. Was anything else done to this besides a crop? Sharpening? Increased brightness? It looks like both to me, with sharpening halos and the sensor being pushed. If this is just a simple crop right out of the camera something is wrong.

Exactly same experience G1x to G5x - disappointed with the noise and blurry images at high contrast areas (white subject agains dark background) when F is below 4.0. The image below is ISO160 at F2.8. Petals have a halo, background grainy. (direct crop). I never experienced this on my G1x and previous g12. I also miss the thread on the barrel although there is a solution via lensmate which uses adhesive. Camera small and cute and the articulated screen is lovely, but this image issue are a killer
