Re: New G7x II - macros ugh ugh ugh

Thank you for all of your replies!

And to you who complain that I complain about wrong tool, I did write:

Have I bought wrong camera for my needs, even if I thought it would be perfect by reading the specs?

I was indeed fully aware when I wrote this post that it was all about user error.

And for one person that is not 100% on the cameras function it is hard to buy. I went on that I was happy with my G9 that I thought a new G camera would be good replacement.

Ok now enough there with my defense.

I think I am going to attempt a swap at the shop if I am able to do so. But I have to do it until tomorrow or it is too late! It is for an unused box but I hope if I say I am going to not ask for refund but for a swap that they will be lenient.

As I have a lack of time, I need to decide quick.

I will tell you.

I use camera mostly in the range from 10 cm to 60-70 cm, but 80-90% of the times on the 50-70 cm range. (that's my full size dolls size, these are 30 cm high and I want to catch the entire doll in frame)

Daylight only, no artificial lights, no flash.

Not too terribly much larger than the older G9.

It is a plus if I can use same camera/lens for outdoor photographing of same motif and also maybe touristing. (there I imagine this G7x MKII would be good, hahaa but no that's not what I was buying for)

But if it is like "want too much and get bad lens" then please only for the large doll photography part.

The shop has only Eos M3, with kit lens 18-55 mm. Damn there goes my hopes to swap-a-roo.
