The G1x3 seems to be a very specialized beast. It will shine where you can keep the sensitivity at the lowest. In others situations, while not being bad, some cameras with 1” sensor can do better.

That said, the G1x3 compromises are already broadly known, most of your points against the camera have already be pointed out in tests and discussed here.

So to me it just looks like you bought the wrong camera for your needs. Why did you buy it ?

I bought it because I like trying new cameras . I like the colour rendition of Canon, Nikon , Pentax , Leica ,Fuji’s and Ricoh . If you see my gear list , which is incomplete actually,you’ll see . That’s being said , I found the camera to be inferior in its optical performance to many others .

I have no idea how my review got to this forum as I didn’t open any topic here but wrote a user review about this camera.

All user reviews go on to the forums

I didn’t know that . Thanks! So whoever writes a user review he’s at risk of being attacked by happy , or not so but frustrated and;therefore, angry , owners of that specific camera or another gear item if one doesn’t write a positive review .

DPreview, it’s genius !

and a 2 star review says the camera is sub standard and not really fit for any purpose so it does need scrutiny.

Yes. Those are my findings comparing to the Sony RX100V which I’d personally rate as 4*

You did very well. And I agree with you. Except that that the Canon has way better ergonomics... only too bad for that stupid video-people screen...:-)
