Hello, as the title says .. "No newer compact w. zoom finds grace to my eyes vs my old G1x Mk I"

Am I wrong?

When looking at a replacement, if considering these 2 parameters:

- Not bigger than the G1x Mk i

- Decent zoom range (which excludes the Sigma, Sony RX 1 Mk ii, Fuji XV100..)

.. I find these options, but none blows away my (old) G1x Mk I for pure IQ (in good light at least):

- Canon G1x Mk iii

- Canon G5x mK ii

- Sony RX 100 Series

Thanks for your feedback, rgds, Gaul

Hello

Thx all..

Thought I would share "my" solution... not a "zoom" solution sadly but it works for me and I love it

Just bought a EF 40mm F/2.8 (this Pancake is really diminutive in size but not in IQ) as 2nd hand in a pristine condition for a very decent amount (90 Euros)

These 90 Euros are much more efficiently used than buying a brand new G1x iv, Sony RX100 viii, Ricoh GR 3 all more or less 1000 Euros !!!! for less IQ than my "old" 6d with this dirt cheap Pancake from Canon

He, the beauty of this solution.. that's cash spared towards more glass !!

Take care

Gaul
