Canon G9X and poor lens
Hi,
I got a new Canon G9X from Canon, when my S-120 focus went off and could not be repaired. The G9X has a terrible lens, with very low contrast,and poor-fair sharpness, especially at the wide angle end. My smaller S-120 with a smaller sensor, takes better photos than does the G9X. My G7X II, on the other hand, takes excellent photos with the same sensor as the G9X. I am quite disappointed. Has anyone else had this experience with the Canon G9X? Mort Linder |

Mort Linder Replying to Duck, I did NOT buy the G9X. I sent Canon USA my S-120 for repair, and they sent me a new G9X as swap,as they had no swappable S-120. It is a dog. Mort Linder |

EOS, I purchased a Canon G7XII, and am very happy with it. Mort Linder |

Mort Linder So they probably sent you a G9X which had been sent back to them. I would suggest that you contact Canon support, tell them that the G9X they sent you has performance issues, that performing as it did it was an unsatisfactory replacement for the S-120, and demand a NEW replacement. Personally, I would start considering another brand of camera. Not much need for compacts these days. Most people, but the OP could be an exception would be happier upgrading their phones... -- teleportation kills |

I am extremely disappointed with the poor lens on the G9X, and have noticed that others on the net feel the same way. It is not really a brand thing. The S-120 was good for its size, and the G7X-II is excellent. The G9X is a dog, and Canon should not have brought it to market. I might add that in days gone by, I used Nikon SP,F, and F2 outfits, and Olympus OM4-T outfits, as well as a Rolleiflex. I do know photography and cameras. Mort Linder |

Mort Linder Hi, Canon told me that it is a software problem, and asked me to send the camera to them, which I did. I am waiting to see if they really fix it, or give me a different camera.I requested a G7X II, but who knows? The G7X II seems to be an excellent camera of its type. We'll see. Mort Linde |
