embarrassment is a good word for the macro focus on this camera, and yes my G15 is far better for close focus sharp detailed shots. Macro with an ILC is a production, and smaller sensor cameras can and should do a great job. It seems that every time you "upgrade", you get something, but something else is compromised (and you wonder why camera sales are getting soft?). While we're at it, the HDR on the G7X is in a word "laughable". I'm not bashing the camera, I have one and like it for what it does, but I use it for what it is good at, and I'm afraid that's about it.

If you look at a larger sensor in a camera as an upgrade in all respects then you can only expect to be disappointed as nothing extra comes without some compensating factor.
