aaulbach Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted May 6, 2015 #1 is the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II with a score of 78, and #2 is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 with a score of 77. They gave the V-Lux a score of 76 and the D-Lus a 73. All in the Advanced category where scores ranged from 78 to 71 for the listed top 10. Scores were all lower for the top 10 in the Compact and Superzoom categories. The article was only 2-pages long without much detail... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted May 7, 2015 Share #6 Posted May 7, 2015 If the G1X ii is top of the house it pretty much undermines the whole report. If there was a misdesigned camera its that one. No idea what their criteria is ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they can not things that I know about straight, I can not trust them when I need help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildlightphoto Posted May 8, 2015 Share #8 Posted May 8, 2015 Consumer Reports has strange criteria for ratings. Going back decades, they never rated Leica well. Many decades ago they ranked the Miranda Sensorex well above the Nikon F. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaulbach Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted May 8, 2015 I agree that their ratings are often on the strange side. I was just surprised to see Leica products in the top 10 since they are normally not listed at all. FYI, I recently acquired the new V-Lux and am generally pleased with the results.

dhsimmonds Posted May 19, 2015 Share #10 Posted May 19, 2015 Many decades ago they ranked the Miranda Sensorex well above the Nikon F. The Miranda was not a bad camera in my view. Mine got me a few results in competition and exhibitions....as you say many moons ago! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
