Re: A few more thoughts + samples

I'm definitely happy with the camera but can't claim that I've really given it a true workout. That will probably happen on my next vacation. This was a step up from my G7X-II, and already feels like the right choice for me. For anyone concerned about lens sharpness, I disagree, supported by one of the shots of the old camera I posted and sold:

More interesting to me, I did take some test shots in the park, and I was pleased with the result in this possibly difficult lighting, including the star flare of the sun. Despite intentionally shooting through the leaves at the sun and bright sky, I'm still trying to find significant purple fringing in this one. (Captured in CR3, converted to DNG, shadows boosted and slight noise correction in ACDSee, exported to JPG.) I'm sure someone else will help me find it here.
