Great image quality with accurate colors, Sharp screen that flips up 180-degrees, Excellent touchscreen sensitivity with multitouch
Too big and heavy, Unreliable autofocusing, Barebones smartphone app
The G1 X Mark II improves on the image quality and autofocus speed of its predecessor and adds in modern necessities such as a touchscreen, NFC and Wi-Fi, but Canon forgot to use its talents to reduce the camera's size, weight and price...
Strong image quality; Solid build; Addition of handgrip welcome; Wifi and NFC functionality
Removal of viewfinder will disappoint some; High list price
If you're looking at the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II as a direct comparison to its predecessor, there's certainly no denying the fact that it's a marked improvement.Not only is the image processing improved, but the new lens means that issues with foc...
Very good photo quality, Fast lens with good focal range, capable of very shallow depth-of-field, Solid build quality, with two grips to choose from, Three dial operation: two 'clicky', one smooth, 3-inch tilting LCD flips up 180 degrees for self-portrait
Considerable shadow noise in Raw, Abrupt highlight clipping, Program line's tendency to use wide apertures can lead to unintentional background blur, Inner lens ring can be frustratingly unresponsive, AF system can struggle in low contrast / low light sit

Big 1.5-inch image sensor. Wide-aperture 5x zoom lens. Tilting touch-screen display. Quick focus. Excellent manual focus mode with peaking. Creative Shot mode. Raw capture. Add-on EVF available. Wi-Fi-enabled.
Expensive. Soft-focus halo effect when shooting macro images at f/2. Inconsistent autofocus accuracy. Edges never sharpen, even at narrow apertures. Lacks mic input port. Not pocket friendly. Heavy
The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II fixes just about every fault of the original G1 X, but it's got some stiff competition for your dollar....

At first sight, the sensor performance of the G1X II doesn't look particularly exciting with relatively low scores for color, DR and low light but a more careful look at the performance reveals that the G1X II is in fact a strong performer at high ISOs.Wh...
