Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore

Just over a week with the new G7X Mark II, and more comments: This is my first ‘serious’ Canon camera, albeit a compact one and not counting the six year old Ixus HS115 that I use exclusively for underwater pictures.
Usability and handling notes! As with all digital cameras in general, these imaging devices tend to do better when taking pictures in good light – and the smaller the sensor is, the most pronounced will be the issues of noise
