Canon PowerShot G5 X


Hi can pm what is the best price and where to get this?
 

Im going Korea with this camera too. Which is the best mode SCN or M?
 

Some pictures of Seoul and Nami Island taken with G5X. It handle the winter -5 degree well enough to survive the trip. The biggest plus point for me is I can charge the camera on the go with a power bank. I hang the camera on my neck and have the power bank in the inside pocket of my winter jacket. So I can charge it while I am taking subway or during meal times. Note that while charging you can't take picture but you can use the playback to review the pic. With one batt it never runs out of juice with USB charging. Great!

By the way I bought spare 3rd party batts from taobao. The camera will prompt about battery communication issue and ask if the batt has a Canon logo. If u answer no it will warn about guarantee issue then ask if you like to continue. Touch yes then it allow you to use the 3rd party batt.

The G5X charges from a portable battery bank. You can carry one and charge your camera on the move...ie - when you are in the car.

The best mode is the one that you know and suits your purposes.
If unsure, read the manual and the many beginners guides here.

...don't see any in-camera adjustment for sharpness, presume it's already pre-set;
