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

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. |
