Re: G3X loses to SX730!!??

My understanding as well. Much bigger sensor has got to make a better image and bigger lens. C'mon, man.

SX230, cropped

screen capture

Pretty sure it is faulty lens, adjustment, etc. Got it used and no doubt that's why they sold it. I spent months thinking it must be operator error like Jon says. Now what do I do. Would hate to pass on the problem to the next guy. Maybe I could trade it in? Here a photo of the same subject with an SX230. More noise in the sky, but the focus is better than the G3X ever manages. Been in contact with Canon. Their guy said maybe it's the digital zoom...shoot with optical zoom of 25x and that should do it. Well, that's one of the many things I've already tried and it looks the same as 100x with digital zoom. No suggestion about sending it in to be adjusted. Don't know if that can even be done.
