Like, I suspect, a lot of the folks here, I am constantly engaged in "foreplay" on my possible next camera purchase.
Recently I was on DPreview, comparing the G1X to some other cameras.
While DXOmark rates the G1X sensor at 60, the M9 at 69, and the Olympus at 40, it seems to me that the G1X looks better than all of them, and that the XZ-1 doesn't look too bad. In other words, I don't see a close correlation between the sensor ratings and the observed results. What am I doing wrong?
Also, I've heard complaints that G1X is too big. But if you were willing to tote an M9 around all day, check this out:
The G1X is smaller.
Anyhow, can someone straight me out on correlating sensor scores with actual images?
