Hi SkipJG

I did some photos in Spain with my G7X mark 1 and really like it.

Could you explain what differences you have experienced in the mark 1 and 2 versions? I think I read somewhere that the colors where noticably better in the mark 2 and of course it has a much faster fps. But is the image quality that much better do you think?

Hello Ulrik. I have not done a side by side comparison of the G7X and the G7Xii side by side photographing the exact same things. Yet! Namely, I could do that. I will get both together and take photos of the same subjects at the same time with nominally the same settings and we'll see how it goes.

From a "feel" perspective the colors do seem better on the G7Xii, but that is because I'm looking at Yosemite photographs and not the industrial photographs I use the G7X for. Like they say, you want pretty photos, point the lens at pretty things as a first step. In terms of speed the G7Xii definitely seems faster, but the G7X wasn't really a slouch to begin with.

I'll post my comparisons of the two here in the next couple of days if I can.

Thanks

BTW, Looking at your Flickr album I can't really think the G7Xii would be that noticeably different. Than what you posted with your G7x. Your pictures are very nice!

Thank you very much SkipJG. I am still learning - look at some of the absurdly distorted buildings from Amsterdam in my album. Just horrible and too dark! Gotta start somewhere

I'd be fun to see if you experience any difference with the two cameras Thanks!

Best regards,

Ulrik
