Re: A Bit Disappointed with the G5X

Honestly, if this is the type of shooting you will be doing the majority of the time, I would probably suggest looking for a different camera. Maybe someone here can suggest an alternative.

What is it about your G1X that you are unhappy with? Why do you feel you need an upgrade?

YEs, what I don't like with my G1x is that I have to stack two 250D close up lenses to get proper macro (making an overall heavy and bulky camera), something more pocketable, and an overall upgrade from this 2+ year old camera, which however delivers well for my need.  80% of my photos are Closeups in the field - I have a canon 750d but most of the time stays home for being bulky.
