Re: Just got a G7X II

Andy,

Thanks for the post.  I've spent most of the weekend learning the menus and controls on the G7X II. Pictures are very sharp and clear; but nothing worth printing - it's mostly a matter of testing and trying things.  I took some shots today using the 1.6x digital multiplier function at 1.6x, and am very pleased with the shots.  As I've said, I wanted to have the G7X II replace both my G15 and the S90; but the key to replacing the G15 is having the 1.6x work well.  It does, so that's really important for me.

When I bought the G15, having the OVF was important; but I've hardly ever used it, getting used to the LCD screen instead.  Some of the shots I took today were in full sun, and the G7X II LCD is pretty good in full sun, at least as good as the G15's.

But you know, I've had the G15 for 5 years, and I plan to sell it - but it's not easy to part with it.  It's like an old friend.  For somewhat the same reasons I am keeping the S90 as a backup.  I am selling the S95.  It's supposed to be an improved S90; but I prefer the S90 which goes back to 2009 with me.
