Re: G5x Digital teleconverter vs crop

Hello Olf,

Thanks again for taking the time to reply. Your "digging deeper" and keeping it simple for a beginner like me was VERY helpful. I do have now an understanding how digital zoom, digital tele converter and crop are related IQ-wise. Going forward I will use optical zoom plus PSE 12 crop or other editing in the majority of my shooting. I have programmed the C setting on my G5x to have a quick access to the 2x tele converter, just in case I want to zoom in a bit more while traveling and send the picture to a friend. I do not have PSE 12 on my Surface Pro 3 tablet/ laptop (menus are too tiny for my eyes) meaning I do all post processing on the desktop PC at home.

Thanks again, GREAT help as usual on the Forum. I marked your response as "The answer".

Wolfgang
