Re: G1X has stitch assist mode

Hi Scott,

I know this is slightly off the your question about the camera's speed, but no-one has mentioned that the G1X has a stitch assist mode which allows up to 26 shot stitches.

The camera doesn't do the stitch - it sets it up and the stitch itself is done in the Canon software.  I'm not a panorama shooter and haven't tried it.  I can't compare it to other software for the same reason.  The camera manual confirms that it sets the exposure and WB, and indicates that it helps determine the alignment for stitching.  It doesn't say how.  It must be doing something because it requires you to set the direction of the pan.

I'm not sure if that helps you at all - but perhaps it's extra info that might be useful.  I can certainly recommend the G1X as a very reliable, glitch free travel camera with excellent IQ.  I no longer take my DSLR kit and have found the G1X IQ to be so close that it doesn't matter.  Limitations : It will do macro with a close-up lens but action subjects are its real Achilles heel.  In travel, that usually doesn't matter so much.

Cheers, Rod
