Is the lens improved?
Stats written on the front of the lens are the same as the G7x so I’m going to guess its exactly the same lens.
I seriously doubt it – I think canon should have waited till they figured out how to put a pop up EVF or one like Panasonic has – also 4k that is better then Sony’s silly 3min max in warm weather and max 5 min in cool weather –
If Canon could pull that off at around $750 vs the $999 Sony RX100m4 then Canon would really compete – I have the G7X and struggle to see any real improvements except so minor improvements mostly in software – I have not found any reason to complain about the lens – it is 100mm vs 70mm on the RX100m4 – the audio is also better on the G7X – and of course it has Touch LCD and Touch Focus which is nice and Sony does not think people want and refuses to put in like the A6300 and the A7xxxx bodies – although they make millions of smart phones with Touch LCDs – go figure
Would love for it to have a pop-up EVF like then RX100 IV, but I’m sure it’s just a flash.
Any idea what that lever is beside the lens? MF lever maybe?
Looks like maybe some day they might offer an aps-c gx8 23mm 1.8 fixed prime tilt screen version street camera.
another pointless and shoot so call enthusiast level compact from the buffoons at canikon
what a waste of polycarbonate ….. get an evf and some real direct controls , in other words get a clue!
They did. The clue is called G5 X
IM SORRY PETER,……….. but that little monstrosity does not count ….the absurd placement and build of the ill conceived evf the heinous hump of that little troll of as camera is an affront to good camera design…..a fugly— slow buffer deficient mess …..the designers should be taken to a sunny wall and shot when the revolution comes , oh the revolution came and canon and nikon have missed it
I think Canon could have done a better job – that EVF hump is silly on that size camera – they should do like Panasonic or Sony RX100m3/4 – that grip might be helpful for some – but makes the camera not so nice looking – I low the G7X – and just wonder where are all the improvements to make this a MII –
the G7X and G5X are of course lot cheaper then the very expensive RX100m4 with so called 4K which is a sales hype as it is almost useless as in warm weather it shuts off after 3 min – the R100m3/4 do have more features which Canon could have included – but Canon wins the the mic audio department and of course a nice focal length – but more awards go to the Sony – I think Canon should have waited till they got 4k working and some more features –
Cheeses, Canon makes hideous looking cameras!
