Re: Quick "Macro" test

I just shoot bugs.

The leaf was blowing rapidly in the wind. May be some shake/blur at a pixel level even at 1/640...

Great Catch

DOF is soooo shallow even with a 1" sensor at that kind of distance - 44mm @ F3.5 (or F4 in my shot) doesn`t seem too adventurous on FF and its not but given that a FF sensor with the same pixel density would be over 100Mp , on the end of a lens which focusses that close , it`s amazing what these cams can do - the closeup abiity of the RX10 Mk3/4 isn`t great even with "600mm" - the G1X Mk1 wasn`t even closeup let alone macro and the GX7 series / G5X Mk1 lens didn`t get as close either . .

The EVF is totally essential for this - I like the size of the cam but do wish they`d used the old super solid G5X MK1 body with the fixed EVF - it was only a bump bigger than the G7X
