I remember that when released, many were disappointed at only having a 3x zoom, considerably less than the G1X MK II. Otherwise, it was a fine camera.

I rarely zoom, but I do take a lot of indoor pics where none of my other Canon's have any issues (not using flash), including s95, G9x, G9x M2, G7x M2. But the samples for this camera does not have many samples of this type of photo.

I don't NEED the camera, and I do worry that I won't like the lens cap not being attached and the size. I have a disability and it's pushing what I can manage weight wise.

I think I just talked myself out of buying one.

This is an older thread, and I don't own a Canon camera, so I should probably keep my comment to myself, but I think you've brought up a good point with your response here.

Almost any modern camera, no matter the sensor size, or the brand, is capable of taking decent pictures outside, in good light, but not all compact cameras are good when it comes to indoor lower light photos.

I'm like you and, even though I own a one-inch sensor camera with a zoom lens, I hardly ever use the zoom function. Much of my use is indoors with the lens at its widest and fastest setting.

For me, the worth of any camera is determined by how well it performs indoors, and even though I own a more capable camera, I use the small sensor compact quite a bit.

So, even though it's just my opinion, the only real difference between an exceptional small sensor camera, and one that's just average is how well it performs indoors, and when it comes to image quality, not much else really matters.

I appreciate the input!
