Stratman2: Ah, yes, the sensor size factor. So far G15 seems just about the right combination of form and size and the lens is great. Much much better UI and snappier autofocus.įound the RX100 takes great pics but too slow and fiddly to use for my liking. I agree there's no way G15 can compete with IQ of RX100.all things being equal - but I sold an RX100 in order to get G15. There's no way the G15 can outperform the 1" sensor, Sony RX100 or the 1.5" sensor PowerShot G1X at high ISOs. G12 vs G15), the one with the fastest aperture lens will win because it can get away with lower ISO sensitivities in the same level of ambient light. However, when compared to another camera with a similar sized sensor (e.g. The camera with the bigger sensor always wins when it comes to "low light performance". I prefer the G15's faster lens but the Sony/Zeiss lens is very good.Ĭanon has better ergonomics all around but there is no question that the RX100 is an excellent camera that will make amazing images for such a small package.

It's AF system is also less than stellar in my opinion.īut, if you can struggle through using it and make a decent exposure, its an amazing camera and its IQ really does shine. Less noise, more detail, and when I achieve focus, sharper images.Īll of that said, the RX100 is a pain in the ass to use: menus are confusing, physical controls are small and flush mounted, and the camera is slow. The Sony RX100 images I've taken beat the pants off of the same images I've made with both the G15 and S100. I own both cameras and completely disagree with most of that review.
