G1X Low Light - 3 Images

Here's some low light shots made without the use of a tripod. I've been really impressed with the image stabilization in the G1X. By bracing it against various objects and making a few attempts I was able to get sharp pictures with exposures as high as 2 seconds or more.

I grabbed the shots of the drum kit between jams, and they came out surprisingly well as there was only a single black light in the room, which is responsible for the color cast.

For the road cone shot I flipped out the LCD not only to use for road level viewing, but to act as a leg so I could tilt the camera back a bit. That was a 6 second exposure which required two hands on the camera to keep it tilted back on the flip screen.

For high iso I definitely prefer the results of the in camera jpegs over what Lightroom 4 can deliver with the RAWs, although with low iso Lightroom 4 can deliver finer image detail. These are all jpegs from the camera and the drum kit shots were lifted 1/2 and 2/3 stop.

Being a G11 owner the G1X is somewhat of a dream camera for me. Basically it's the exact camera, minus the 1cm macro. lol

Note: The images are not as noisy as they appear, dpreview is compressing the uploads quite a bit.
