Canon Powershot G7X

TK listed price is 712 for cash. will it drop? hahaha.
Most likely will drop, just dun know when.
Or wait for mark2 (if any).
I am sorry... I don't know how you get this conclusion. The G7X had a significantly faster lens than the RX100mkII, it has a longer focal range as compared to RX100mkII, it has a touch screen while RX100mkII doesn't has (to many, it makes a difference)... the only thing that I see that the mkII is better is that mkII had a hotshoe.
As for the RX100mkIII, now we might see a closer competition. The only thing that RX100III won (in my opinion) is the build in viewfinder... other than that, I really didn't see anything else. Heck... the focal range on the G7X (with its very fast aperture) might even be a better selling point as compared to the RX100mkIII.
It hard to say comparable to mk2 or mk3. Because if anyone dig hard enough, there is always a feature or two different.
For me i prefer G7x over mk3 due to the price mainly.
In my books, touchscreen is VERY important for p&s cameras 'cos it's difficult to operate the cameras (e.g., change AF point) with their tiny buttons.
That is why among Sony RX100M3, Panasonic LX100 and Canon G7X, the last option is most attractive for me.
But I am still debating if I should wait for EOS-M3 (hopefully with DPAF and EVF) or get the G7X now. :think:

Amen to that. I am growing more and more attracted to that camera... sure... there is quite a number of items I wishes... but if Canon put all those in, it will not be selling at that price.
Wonder if canon will include g7x in the privilege program soon. Will be one more reason for me to buy.
My bad, I didn't recall the specs correctly. But the feeling I had when the g7x came out was that it resembles the mk2 in many aspects, except the lens aperture (although it's a very critical factor). One can't deny the fact that the mk3 is very revolutionary in that it has the pop up viewfinder, which made it quite unequalled, both in features and price. That was why I felt gx7 compares more towards the mk2.
Regardless, all are capable cameras in their own rights, and they will all find their own market. I personally also think the g7x is very gd and well worth the price 👍

That's even more tempting. why the price keeps getting lower everyday. as launched with "early bird" price.
May be led into buying soon LD
Just checked with CSC, it's already in PPP, but "out of stock" and Marketing says "1-2 months" order wait time. 20.5% off RRP.
Wow. Awesome. Thanks for the information! I am looking around 630. I wonder if shops like ms color or tk foto can offer g7x with PPP. Probably drop them a call for quotes.
Just came back from Funan and tested the G7X.
Very well built, Made in Japan quality. Similar quality like the G1X Mk II.
However, one of my regular shops mentioned that they have a few customers who came back to return their sets - some due to error messages appearing, some due to lens alignment issues. Not sure how many sets with this error, but that was what the shop claims. This is my trusted shop, so should be true.
Any users here having any issues with their sets?
