Re: G7X Mark III vs Smartphone

It MAY be possible to at least equal the phone's SOOC output if you process the G7X images, and in some cases the G7X will be superior. For the majority of stuff, people are just not going to notice the difference too much in either case, so for me it comes down to ease of use and portability. Also, the corners are really bad on G7X compared to top phones, but this isn't too important.

The Mark III does have the benefit of automatic transfer to phone. Not sure how easily this is set up though. If it's a "set it and forget automatic bluetooth connection" with press of a button or if it's some other process (check the user's manual for Mark III). For me, that would be critical info if I was really considering getting it.

There's also considering the feel of a real camera with physical controls in your hands that just can't be replicated with a phone. So image IQ for some is just part of the equation.
