g1x mk111 reviewed

A bit steep price wise but as a very happy g1x mk11 owner this could be a stonker of a camera if it really is that much better.

I own a G7X MarkII and I am very happy with it. The camera mentioned above is $1299 vs the G7X $699 price tag. Here is a side by side compare of each.

Thanks, Trumperfor the link. So tempting but oh that price!

The EVF and articulating LCD screen are a big plus but at twice the price???

I have added the g1x mk11 to the list
I think will wait until a few more reports have come out and maybe for the prices to drop.

24 Megapixels with that big sensor is a big plus should be able to get loads of detail and a very high IQ. Once the honeymoon period is over and the price drops could be a good buy compared to the top end Sony's and Fuji's.

I wonder if the extra "cropping " ability because of the higher pixel count will make up for the loss of optical zoom.
I do wish they had put an external mic sound input socket on though,the inbuilt mic is pretty awful outside.

Most probably a 6000 x 4000 image you should be be able do a pretty good crop. Also, although spec wise the lens is slower it sounds pretty good for grabbing a lot of light onto the sensor, so I would imagine the noise is improved, not sure about the depth of field though.

BH Photo now has the g1x mark iii in stock. Mine is shipping tomorrow!

What are peoples views of this camera compared to the M5, what would you rather have?

It'll be awesome after it hits the refurb page and gets it's first sale. My guess $749 or so next Christmas on the refurb site. At the end of the day it's still just an 80d/M5 sensor with a slow lens in a pocket frame. I can't see it holding that high of value for all that long.
