Trying a G7X Mk1
2

I`m Trying a G7X Mk1, ordered a slightly scruffy one with stuck lens cover from a UK camera shop on the cheap to give it a go , I know how to fix the stuck cover blades and as long as the lens isn`t decentered (Blurry down one side) , it`ll give me a camera with a better (at least at the long end) and way faster lens than my even tattier RX100 Mk1 . I know I found the G7X Mk1 slow in operation in early 2015 on a quick test but apart from setting the ISO , RAW and focus point , i didn`t have much time to set it up and the G1X Mk1 I was comparing it to was no slouch operationally  as it was basically a 650D in live view mode stuffed into a G series style body with the sensor cropped down to 14Mp
