Re: Opinions for the G5 X

Can't give huge amount of experience but I have had a G5X for some months now (used copy). Coming to it from (still have) Nikon D7500 and D3300. Wanted a small carry-able camera with a viewfinder, and 1 inch sensor sounded a good step-up from 1/1.17 sensor of G16.

I have been impressed by the image quality from the G5X. The viewfinder seems good to me too (my only comparison is a Nikon B700 I had for a short time - didn't like the EVF among other things).

In short, I like it.

In Australia this model seems to hold its value, so even if you got one and didn't like it you would probably get your money back.

I also thought about Oly E-M10 - once again as a small camera, especially with the 'pancake' zoom. As I am not leaving the dSLRs I didn't see the point of getting into a new mount and when the relative difference in size of E-M10 to D3300 not that much.
