Hello Tom,
Glad to see that you are still enjoying your G9X. I am, too! I still have Sony RX100 M3 as my other 1" sensor camera, but G9X is the one that's always in my purse. And for any athletic events, I take G9X for its compactness. It's really a pleasure to use this camera!
Hi, Mikan.
Glad to see you're also happy with the G9X. After the Sony RX100V was released, I thought I'd check into whether it might be worth considering. As far as I can tell, the RX100 series is gives about the same images, plus or minus at most a small margin. For a lot more money!
But after once again comparing the two, I'm newly convinced that I -- and you -- made the right decision. I just edited a couple thousand shots from my recent vacation, and Wow! They came out great. A little touching up in Camera Raw was all they needed, and only a few needed Photoshop. The detail, dynamic range, noise control, even in dark rooms are wonderful. I shoot in RAW all the time, gives much more dynamic range.
In dark rooms I got overconfident a few times. The camera is so good that sometimes I'd just hold it up in one hand and snap the shutter, as if it's full sun. But then of course there's motion blur. So now I take a full second in a dark room, with two hands when I press the shutter, and it's OK.
Going through those shots from the recent trip made me so happy with this little gem, that I posted these notes of joy. Hope I haven't annoyed anyone with my enthusiasm.
