Re: Suggestions for G19 replacement.

Thanks Mike and Dave.  My first impression was that the G7X would be the next one I should purchase. I was a bit put off after I read the review were on dpreview.  The review was not very positive, with a pretty long list of "cons".  That's why I decided to post my questions here in the hope of finding some members who have used that camera.

That was a good point about the lack of an attachment for an external flash. I still have the G16, and it actually has a pretty good built-in flash. Also I'm not too troubled about the rather short battery life.  I always buy and carry a spare.

Do you have any information on the facility that allows shooting in only one color ?  I never saw that until a friend showed me his Nikon CoolPix 900.  I wonder if that is possible on the G7X.

I have more of an urge rather than a need for a new camera.  I think I own 7 or 8 Canon cameras and they have all served my needs well.  In a month, I'm going out to Albuquerque, NW where I will attend the Hot Air Balloon Festival. I mention that because Canon always has a very large display and tent set up there.  I believe they are a major sponsor. While at the Canon tent, it is possible to use any of their cameras.  They give you the SD card and let you take as many pictures as you want.  You then return the camera and keep the card.  Great promotion !  I plan to see if I can use the G7X. ( assuming I don't pop for one before )

I'd like to hear from others who are using the G7X to see if they are satisfied with the performance of that camera.

Thanks again for your comments.
