Abstract: Canon's new PowerShot G1 X is highly reminiscent of the popular G12, but will not replace this model in the company's lineup. The G1 X represents the start of an entirely new branch of Canon cameras. The star of this show is gigantic new 1.5-inch CMOS sen...
Picture quality up to 3200 ISO, Swivel LCD, Goodquality 4x zoom lens, Burst mode 5.4 fps for 6 frames, RAW mode (14 bits)
P mode isn't fully adjustable, OVF could be more accurate and more comfortable, Screen poorly calibrated (inaccurate colours etc.), Too slow to start up, 1080 video at 24 fps only, Disappointing macro mode
While the new sensor used in Canon's PowerShot G1 X is excellent, the rest of the camera left us wanting more. While it's a perfectly respectable expert compact, we were hoping for a more impressive, higher-end affair, with a proper, top-notch optical ...
Classleading image quality for an advanced compact, Impressive high ISO performance, Super sharp lens that captures lots of detail, Variangle LCD screen adds flexibility, Useful builtin 3stop ND filter
The Canon G1X switches on and becomes ready to shoot in a fraction under four seconds which hardly makes it the fastest camera out of the blocks. Autofocus modes are limited to a user-selectable single-point FlexiZone mode with good frame coverage that ex...
Abstract: The Canon PowerShot G1 X is capable of delivering image quality that is clearly better than any competing, fixed zoom lens compact. Image quality also rivals that of the stellar, full APS-C size sensors, fixed prime lens cameras such as the Fujifilm X...
Canon's first major update to the its G-series cameras is the PowerShot G1X, taking the place of the PowerShot G12 from 2 years ago. Targeted at more advanced users, the G1X has been loaded with new, exceptional quality parts and features that lift the...
Abstract: As is tradition, InsideHW is trying once again to aid you in the chase for the new camera to carry along during the summer holidays. It’s all but easy to opt for a particular model that would suit you perfectly. This is almost never the case anyway, b...
Outstanding image quality, Excellent Handheld Night Scene mode, Extensive range of manual and automated controls,
Very expensive for a fixedlens camera, Poor macro performance, Autofocus issues in macro and burst mode,
The Canon PowerShot G1 X takes the sharpest photos we've ever seen from a fixed-lens camera, and its image quality and video quality are outstanding overall. However, for $800, we expected better macro and burst-mode performance....
Lots of control and auto options. Excellent image quality. Variable angle LCD usable viewfinder.
Bulky for a compact camera.
It’s pricey, but the G1 X impresses on many fronts, with excellent handling and superb image quality. Product PowerShot G1 X Company Canon Contact www.usa.canon.com Price $799 Requirements Specs: 14.3MP resolution; 28-112mm(35mm equivalent) f/2....
The Canon PowerShot G1X goes down in history as a ‘classic’. The unrivaled quality this camera presents will outlast it’s competitors. While the focus is more on quality and functionality rather than design and gimmicks, you won’t be disappointed. C...
Quite a bit smaller than large-sensor mirrorless or SLR with similar lens, Lens is fairly sharp (except corners at wide angle), hits a good sweet spot for zoom range, and bright at wide angle, JPEG mode automatically corrects for distortion, aberration...
Maximum aperture falls quickly with zoom, Autofocus and burst performance much slower than most compact system cameras, and even many fixed-lens compacts, Optical viewfinder is not very useful (small, inaccurate, blocked by lens at wide angle), Exposur...
For several years now I've waited in anticipation, wondering how much longer Canon could ignore the burgeoning compact system camera market, and finally make a splash with a mirrorless model of its own. The Canon PowerShot G1 X is not that camera, but ...
