I remember that when released, many were disappointed at only having a 3x zoom, considerably less than the G1X MK II. Otherwise, it was a fine camera.
I found the MK2 was the turkey of the range , it had the widest reaching lens but wow was it compromised, the old Mk1 lens was better optically and gave all the 14Mp of the sensor, the Mk2 lens did`t even cover the whole sensor at the wide end hence 12Mp at 24mm and what you got was like looking down a toilet roll and loaded with distortion. the camera was noisier per-ISO than the Mk1 , had no form of viewfinder without paying a mint for an extra and losing the hotshoe to use it and it lost the lovely twisty screen of the Mk1 and Mk3 ..
on paper the Mk2 looks better than the MK1`s narrow wide end, No-Macro at all, slower overall lens and the Mk3s comically short & slow lens but ends up quite the reverse, I sent the MK2 back and kept on with my Mk1 until it fell to bits after 50,000 shots and 8 years . I DO Wish they`d made the MK3 up to M5 size rather than G5X size so the lens could have at least been F2.8-4 or 24-105 but they didn't and thats that
The G1X III is a powershot camera. They couldn't have made it larger. Had to remain compact. I have no idea about the size of the Mark 1 and 2, but yeah, that's that. Still Canon has made an impressive job with it.
