Is it better than your G1XII for everyday use? And will it beat your Fuji X100 in low light (can't imagine)?
We're about to find out...
I may have snubbed the EF-M 15-45 previously, and instead opted to go PowerShot G for my portable needs, however, I've found both the G5X II and G1X III as falling short of desirable for my needs. 1" sensor doesn't cut it in IQ, and the Sony sensor, even in a Canon, is less color-friendly; the G1X III on the other hand although more IQ and better color fidelity, DIGIC7 isn't cutting it for my autofocus needs after reviewing the product of it the past few months. Canon really needs a G1X Mark IV, but, I suspect that's never happening.
Going to pit the G1X Mark III against the M6 Mark II with 15-45. I don't like using free returns, but, if the 15-45 doesn't cut it, it doesn't cut it. Looking at my shots from the month I tried it on the EOS M5, I'm thinking maybe I was expecting too much from it. We'll see. I'm holding unto my G1X III until I can verify in fact, an M6 II + 15-45 is a "better" solution. I know from experience the M6 Mark II + 22mm is practically a contender for the Fuji X100 series, but, can the stock zoom effectively compete with Point and Shoots in size/weight and punch? No bet.
Grab your popcorn folks. I'm revisiting the M system, again, as I feel perhaps the 15-45 needs a closer look as a contender to make the M system a point and shoot contender, which is what I've been looking for all along (a portable, powerful point and shoot-like solution). I'm thinking although blasphemous to marry a low-res 15-45 to such a high-res 32MP sensor, it is however, when you look at alternatives, logical as a point and shoot-like solution.
LOL.
Actually my gem of a M system got stolen this year so somewhere out there in Bogota there is a perfect 15-45, 32mm, sigma 56 and an 18-150mm M5 + M6 II system for sale
My replacement 15-45 isnt bad, one corner is a bit off at 100% even at f8, but I don't care about 100%
so that's two in a row that I would deem rather acceptable.
I actually found that I enjoy the 15-45, it's a natural 24-70mm focal and I found it a nice walkabout.
I did like the 18-150 better overall though because it obviously had more reach, but after some acclimatization, it wasn't that bad.
