Re: G7X mark ii or g9X mark ii

I have both cameras, but since I got the G9x M2, family sickness (hubby's parents) have kept me from taking many photos with it.

What few I have taken, I think the G9x M2 holds up nicely to the G7x M2  and is much more pocketable.

I do not mind that more of the controls have to be used via the touchscreen on the G9x M2.  That is a plus for me personally. The other day, I had the G7x M2 out and needed to change the EVF and I kept poking it on the LCD screen and finally resorted to looking up on the manual how to change the value. DUH, it's a dial under the shutter, and for the longest I forgot that, and it's turns easily, and last year, I discovered I had accidentally turned that dial and had been taking photos with a +1 EVF !!!!!

If I had to part with one of them, I likely would part with the G7x M2 because the lens feels as is it needs protection in a case before putting in my purse, and then I can't get it in my purse at all.  The G9x M2 feels like a little tank, and I drop it in my purse without a case (but with a microfiber thick pouch which is not necessary) and don't worry.  It's light as a feather and very small.

I had the G9x which I gave to my grandson. The G9x M2 was a worthy upgrade for me. I thought I would sell my hardly used G7x M2 but I haven't had a chance to compare them as much as I wanted to before making that decision. I may hang on to them both.
