I wanted to enter a photography contest but alas I did not have a Canon Camera.
I wrote to Canon asking for a 5D class camera...but they sent me this instead: the Powershot G5x
a 1" sensor compact camera.
Let's see how it goes.
nice clean image at shaded lighting.
I like this photo. It entertains me greatly.
Ok. Let's see if a semi-skilled ape can pull off a convincing fashion shoot with just a stylist (no model because this was just mucking around) and a Point&Shoot camera (the G5x)
No light modifiers, no reflectors, no assistants, no makeup artist or models...just me and my favourite stylist.
and close ups...
colour rendition on a blazingly hot day.
and lower light higher ISO performance (ISO 3,200)
Likes:
Great lens and decent low light peformance.
Sensible ergonomics.
Accessible pricing (CAD 1,000)
Usable battery life
articulating LCD and touch screen
Dislikes:
VERY slow continuous mode in RAW
silly menu system
slow autofocus
Verdict:
I really really like it.
Definitely on my shortlist for a vacation camera.
PowerShot G5 X - Canon Canada Inc.
It's no Sony RX1R II but it's also not CAD 4800.
