Re: SX720/30 optics compared with SX710 for macro?

I can’t comment on macro image quality of either sx720 or sx730 as mine have not arrived yet. But just FYI the g7xii macro shots really have a lot of detail. The lens and 1” sensor combo rally lend themselves to macro imo. I assume the g5x is probably equally as good since it’s the same lens and sensor.

Here is one from g7xii fyi (this is heather, flowers are maybe 1/4” long or so)

I’m going to try to do a head-to-head test next week (if we get some good light) of the following: sx730, G9xii, g7xii, older canon point and shoots, full frame dslr.
