Re: How does the G7X II play in auto mode?

Yeah I'm now thinking about the G9X II as well.  You're giving up some zoom but it's a little on both ends so I supposed the effect isn't as dramatic.  It watching a couple youtube videos it certainly seems to be geared towards a cell phone user upgrade as nearly all controls are done via the touch screen.

I played with the Panasonic ZS100 at Best Buy today and I think the small fiddly controls and menu experience is just going to be overwhelming to someone used to a smart phone.

So - if no need/desire to optimize the auto setting - why not settle for the smaller G9X? Same sensor and basic IQ without all the bells and whistles found in the bigger (ref. volume, weight, features and price) brother, G7X? More handy and cheaper choice..?

Anyhow I'm sure your friend will be more than happy with the full Auto output on both cameras. Best of luck to the both of you wherever this consideration end up.
