I’ve been using my Canon G7X for about a month now. I didn’t buy it to be my primary camera; I wanted it to take with me to take photos of landscapes, flowers and other non-birds in nature. So far I have been very impressed with it. I haven’t done any formal tests, but it seems like noise levels are not appreciably different from my Canon 7D.<\/p>\n

Photos look very nice and sharp at 1:1 on my computer.<\/p>\n

All my landscape shots have been shot hand held.<\/p>\n

Here are a few that I like best.<\/p>\n

For macro and flower photography, the Canon G7X has done pretty well. I’m including three shots here, each cropped progressively more. The Petunia is nearly full frame, while the Green Treefrog is a pretty tight crop.<\/p>\n
