Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Canon G3X. Sorry for the wrong exposure of the G3X. 100% Crops of the above made with JPEGCrop. Took the smartphone for sharing it immediately and wanted to have a good ...

Most cameras with a zoom lens use the zoom lever to zoom into a taken picture.

I loved my R1. I still own it, but I didn't use it for years. It sooo slow! Later I had some system cameras (Olympus E-P1, Sony NEX) - now I use mostly a Canon G3 X which reminds me much on the R1. ...

All cameras I know show a preview at the end of that shooting - except the G3 X.

I like my G3 X very much.
- The close-up possibilities are nice.
- AF-Tracking is great, in special related to face detection and the touch display.
- The tiltable display is much more useful for...

Some thoughts about my G3 X:
- I think the lens is not that soft. Maybe it was not the best copy which there was tested.
- A lens that extends so much can never be "weather sealed".
- The close-up...

No - no EVF, please. It would make this camera a lot more expensive, it wouln't be tiltable, and not everybody would need it. There is a camera with these specs, the Sony RX10 M3. I would prefer a ...

Chaplain Mark, thank you for your suggestion. It just annoys me that this fine camera has such a ridiculous restriction. I love taking photos in the dusk or in the night, and all of my other ...

Update - I learned some more ... It depends on the light and on the choosen display mode: (1) When there is enough light, this camera shows real live view - what I will get when I take the photo.

Thank you all for your evaluation! Quite interesting hearing opposite opinions!

Hi everyone, a friend of mine wants a cheap small camera in addition to a bigger one for having it all time with her. I use for that purpose an old Panasonic LX3, which i like very much. Thanks to ...

I had the 30mm f/2.8, later I got the 30mm f/1.4. It's so nice that it is my most used lens. The only drawback is the size.

It reduces noise, as these random pixels will not be at the same place. You need a still scene for all these functions where the camera takes more than one shot.

Just use the P-Mode instead of the Auto-Mode! There you can choose what you want to have in focus - just by tapping on the screen.

"Handheld Night Scene" takes severals picutures with the same settings, "HDR" takes pictures with different settings, so that the brightness differs. After that, the camera produces a single ...

Please don't hit me: My solution for solving this problem was getting a Canon G3X. It has a 24-600 zoom (APS-C-equivalent would be 16-400) and it is smaller and less expensive than any comparable ...

My easy solution for not forgetting the memory card: Let the card door open whenever the card is not in the camera.

Good news! I asked the Canon service and after some days I got an answer by mail, telling me to restore to default settings. I had really no hope, but: It worked! Now I have: - before pressing the ...

Chaplain Mark, your problem reminds me on mine, maybe it's the same. I still have no solution and it drives me crazy. Please see here (but ignore the first three messages): https://www.dpreview.com ...

That doesn't work here. I'm still hoping that there is somewhere a switch where I can change this. Or does my G3X think I want to use a flash?
