Cameras set for shutter priority, on a tripod (OIS turned off) cycled through all shutter speeds at 1/3 increments 1/25 through 1/250, fired using 2-second self-timer.Ĭonsistently I get maybe a one-step improvement in line pairs per mm resolved, often a bit less, or roughly a 5-10% improvement in resolution, using electronic rather than mechanical shutter. I tested both my new G7 and my GX7 with three lenses, using an Edmund Scientific Company Lens Resolving Power chart. For USB3.0, maybe video or sync of a large number of files, or alternatively why not remove the SD card, plug directly into a backup device which has an inbuilt card reader, avoid USB and run at the native transfer speed of the SD interface (which I'm also not expert on)? Is USB3.0 the answer, maybe/maybe not, wifi and NFC are becoming standard on cameras, I'm more inclined to think that those who are not professionals taking 1000's of photographer will sync over the air. Why should review not state 480Mb/s that is the physical maximum of the interface, fact? How many interfaces reach their maximum in real life scenarios - virtually none? It sounded like you knew what you are talking about until you convert Mb to MB, 8 bits to each byte means 480 Mb/s = 60 MB/s, No? Can't say I'm expert on USB but surprised USB 2.0 has to ack each packet, as you say, that could really slow down unidirectional bandwidth - seems a fundamental limitation solved by many comms protocols many years ago. I had Canon fullframe, Fuji, Sony, and now I'm so happy with the G7, cause once you had some practice with it, everything is easy, fast, efficient, handy. The kit lens on the canon and nikon is sh*t and they're huge and heavy, the menu on the Sony a pain in the a*s the Fuji is slow in comparison. That been said, seems like many people don't understand how good this camera is, the competitors you talk about have a lot of cons, none of them have all the cool stuff that the G7 has. Did you try to browse the Sony menu on a6000 or RX100? It's gonna be a pain.Īnd with the G7 you also have some cool features like "post-focus", timelapse, 4K burst mode to shoot 30 fps at 4K resolution (perfect if you just share on the web your pictures). Who wants to carry a tank dsrl on the shoulder? Nobody. Videos are awesome, photos great, autofocus just ridiculously fast.

This is a fantastic camera and if you're not a professional maybe one of the best.
