I second your view as I have both as well. Jim

The "one star" airline moniker stems from their tail markings.

To Oleg Ivanovskiy: Do you seriously think that the NK's will announce their crashes like the rest of the civilized world does? Please.

As a former military pilot, I would NEVER fly on a North Korean carrier...I mean NEVER. Their entire country is a joke so you think they'll take training and maintenance seriously? No thanks.

That...

Do you feel that the M5 would be a good candidate for aviation photography? (i.e. take offs, landings, flybys, etc.). Jim

Very nice G3X series, Dirk...well done! Jim

I own both of these cameras. If you're shooting in good light and are shooting in the 18-135mm range with both cameras, you probably can't tell the difference. As the previous posters have stated, ...

To: Barney Britton...Do you feel that the RX10 III is a good choice for shooting moving aircraft? My thinking is I was going to go for the Nikon D500 with a 100-400 lens because I know that this is...

Aeroplanes have pointy noses and feathers in the back. :-)

A fair amount of the shots seem to show blown highlights...or is it just me?

As an aside, aircraft photography is my hobby as well and I was considering the RX10 III for those chores vs a Nikon...

Actually, the plane was stopped for several minutes and allowed me to use both cameras to capture the same image. The SX50HS photo was taken at the equivalent of 670mm (1/400 sec; f/5.6; ISO 100). ...

I'm with you...bang for the buck the SX50HS is VERY hard to beat. I own both the SX50HS and the G3X and find myself using the SX50HS more. I shoot in good light and, personally, find the image ...

Cameras that are enjoyable to use actually get used. All cameras take a bit of time to "make friends" with them to get the most from them. Glad you're enjoying yours. Jim

I agree with you regarding the lens. This is what has made recent G-series cameras quite unexciting as most are based on the G7 lens. It wasn't all that sharp to begin with and Canon's continuing ...

That thought has crossed my mind too. That's what I'm also fearing with the G1X line. I sure hope I'm wrong on both counts. Jim

Honestly, can it get any more boring? How about some real refinement in an upgraded G3X and maybe a G1X III. These lower end models almost belong in a toy store. ...just my take. Jim

In my opinion, Petahi's straightforward explanation above provides the best answer. TDC allows use of a lower aperture yet still allowing the ability to use a longer focal. TDC comes in handy. Jim

Very nice, Mario...a pleasure to view. Jim

Absolutely gorgeous, Ed. Thank you VERY much for sharing these beautiful images. Jim
