found my old canon ixus 255 hs and decided to see how it fares against the G6

i think here i can clearly observe that LG is really becoming samsung, with their juiced up saturation and contrast, its most obvious in the dark shadow cast on the wall
looking at low light capability, the canon can pull off the same amount of image brightness almost a full ISO stop above the G6 which is the benefit of larger sensor. funnily enough my old sony Z1 compact had a sensor as big as this canon's, but thanks to sony's bad image processing, the photo quality of the sony was mediocre, a reputation that still holds in modern sony phones
but anyway that old canon was really just a point and shoot. it doesnt even have full manual like the G6. For its marginally better image quality it cant match the G6's versatility. Smartphone photography has really came a long way since the 4 years ago when that canon model released
