Thanks mucho, Moocher. I don't expect to get National Geographic quality BIFs from a bridge cam, but I do expect to be able to see most of a bird's features on a fairly high percentage of shots.
I don't understand why the G3X is so slow. The SX50's speed improved over the SX40's, and the SX60's improved over the SX50's, so.....if the G3X is comparable to the SX40, that means Canon went backwards in this regard. The FZ1000's autofocus and burst speed is actually faster than many DSLRs, so I think Canon's dropped the ball here.......
The lack of a viewfinder doesn't really bother me, since I'm using a Hoodman Loupe anyway. If I did a lot of manual focusing I'd probably want better resolution than it has. But if I was going to spend 300 dollars to get it, I'd buy a Zacuto LCD adapter that would be useful on other cameras down the road.
Well, your still images make me want to impulse buy (like I did with the P900!) but I'm going to have to ponder this one some more. Thank you very much for all the input. |=)|
Hi Mzettie. I obviously didn't explain myself very well before. I meant the G3X menu is the same as I am used to from my SX40. My SX40 struggled at around a frame a second. The G3X will continuously shoot 6 frames per second. Apparently it will shoot at this rate until the card is full? I haven't tried that particular feature out.
It is much faster than an SX40.
