I have been using Lumix cameras for a few years. The first mirrorless one I had produced perfect images straight from the camera. Its replacement (after the shutter stopped working) has never produced the same quality of image no matter what camera setting I choose.

Mr C and I both had the same Lumix compact camera and they both failed at the same time with the same faults.

So I was tempted to go back to my trusty Canon for my replacement compact camera.

For many years I used Canon compact cameras and loved the quality of the images.

I wanted to take my photography a little further and chose the mirrorless system which is smaller and more compact than DSLR I opted for the Panasonic Lumix G2, it was an amazing camera. I was disappointed when the camera shutter stopped working. I replaced it with the latest model in the series and I have never been entirely happy with it. It is larger and heavier and does not match the same image quality of the original camera. The images from the original camera rarely required editing, whereas the later version requires almost every image to need photo editing.

This new canon has taken me back to enjoying the results (colours and crispness) all over again

So far I think the image quality is superior to both the broken compact camera an my mirrorless camera Maybe it is time to change the mirrorless camera too.

I am already enjoying the quality of colours and detail the camera has captured. Most of the photos didn’t need any editing.

Now I just need to work out the menu system which is not intuitive.
