Canon PowerShot G1 X
Announced Jan 9, 2012
•
14 megapixels | 3″ screen | 28 – 112 mm (4×)
dpreview conclusion
The G1 X is an excellent camera for some but not for everyone. The camera gives you great image quality and a versatile zoom range in a small package without the need to carry a stack of lenses. However, the sluggish AF, limited close-focusing capability, and lack of manual control in video mode will make some users look elsewhere.
Good for
Anyone who wants DSLR-like image quality and a versatile zoom range in a pocketable format.
Not so good for
Sports and action photographers, serious videographers

Canon PowerShot G1 X review
By: Mike Lowe, What Digital Camera
(Feb 18, 2012)
The Canon G1 X's sensor is the star of the show. The images this camera can produce are exceptional, easily of a DSLR quality - and it's not often that's said. |
