If you’re getting soft shots with the G1X III, you’re doing something wrong. Ditto with setting focus accidentally with your cheek, hitting the wrong buttons, getting poor landscape and portrait shots, etc. That’s not surprising when one is learning how to use a new camera. What is surprising is blaming the camera after using it for only 2 days and then writing a review about it.
??? I have returned many a camera, mostly Fuji, after the 5 initial misfocussed shots. Would you tolerate that?
Doesn't really answer Twitchly's argument does it? Are you acting as the wingman in this attack on Canon kit. I have seen this pattern of posting before with RX releases.
You probably had it on manual focus and in the rush to return it missed the fact and could not cope with learning the menus in the panic to review it and get it back in the return window.
Thinking about it I have had a focusing glitch which freed up with use of the kit. Why people expect this specific bit of mechanism called a camera instantly to run freely immediately on coming out of the factory is a mystery.
I am sure the G1X III will be still chugging along long after the last RX100 has fallen to bits.
The G1Xmk3 is more or less my ideal camera were it not for that unusable "video people" screen. Not sure it would do better IQ-wise than the tiny RX100mk5.
As for sending back a camera that does not function:
1) First I spend time to configure a camera completely AS I LIKE IT
2) Then I take my usual test scene, 5 pictures max
3) Fails 3 out of 5? Goes back. This has only happened twice, with Fuji XM1 and a XT-20
4) I absoluty want to send back a prsitine camera, if I have to.
Hope this clarifies my position
