G5x

After much lengthy research and comparing, I finally replaced my G11 with a G5x last November.

At the top of my list of requirements were EVF, swivel screen, and flash hot shoe.

I first hesitated at the price. Then B&H had a deal that included a free Canon Speedlite 90EX flash. Not as powerful as a 270EX(II), but a nice compact size for the G5x.

All compact cameras include compromises.

The G5x does NOT have...

the fastest focus
the best image quality
the closest macro capability

I always use a light wrist strap for security and to help steady the shot.  Like any compact with many controls, accidental button pushes happen.

The G5x have the features I want and works great as my "go-anywhere-anytime" camera.

If I need better images and performance, then I take my Fuji X-T2 kit.
