Hi all ,

Just received my G5X Mii

For comparison I can go back to my last power shot the G10 and the Sony RX 100 Mark two .

For point-and-shoot the G10 big and chunky and comfortable to hold.

Think all plastic .

Sony regardless of what is made of never really comfortable to hold or use shutter button is recess and too close to the right hand side.  The lens ring I don’t care what it’s made of but was highly sluggish and no tactile feel .

Canon GX5 Mark two placement of the shutter button find nicer and raised much nicer tactile feel and the lens ring again I don’t care if plastic it’s big it’s easy to turn and nice tactile feel .

Think the idea that if it’s made of metal it’s going to be sturdier is a flawed view.

Dave
