Interesting findings

Interesting stuff, I picked  a couple of these up in the shop, and they are still a bit smaller than the typical mft kit. EVF is good enough. They handle really nice. So I am tempted and looked for used ones for a while. But I hoped for a bit more from de 1 inch sensor, it's quite a big bigger than the old canon G's and A's. And sensors have advanced itsself too. But I see the same as you, not a big jump in IQ (in samples and in your shots too).

It's a pity, I have the feeling Canon doesn't squeeze everything out of the sensor like they did with the good old thingies. Or maybe a cam with that price simply needs a better sensor in the first place.

I have a P510 and a P610 with tiny sensor, and if you can keep the aperture down it can resolve a crazy amount of detail. Wait, here...

So why can't the 1 inch sensors reach this level?
