Abstract: The maximum full-resolution burst rate is now 5.2 frames per second, up from 1.9 fps in the earlier camera. With autofocus, you'll still manage 3.0 fps, up from 0.7 fps in the original G1 X. Of course, these are manufacturer-supplied figures, but we're lo...

The lack of a built-in viewfinder is always a deal-breaker for us and reviewing the PowerShot G1X Mark II reinforced our belief that any kind of viewfinder, no matter how basic, is better than none at all. An optional EVF is a poor solution, requiring the...
F/2.0-f/3.9 lens with 5x optical zoom, Simple to understand menu system, Very good image quality

Abstract: DateMay 14, 2014 (29) Read later Canon Powershot G1X MkII. This 13-megapixel camera stretches the definition of "compact". It is big and heavy, but then, it is a camera with heavyweight specifications. The sensor is much larger (1.5-inch, 38mm) ...
The big sensor, small pixel count, modest zoom and optically brilliant lens altogether make for images unlike other compacts can produce. Dynamic range is wide; resolved detail is sparkling and the ISO sensitivity can be set up to 3200 with good results.

The G1X is a unique camera. It has fewer pixels on a larger sensor than any other compact, a combination that serious photographers have longed for. Canon has taken a bold step away from the pixel race and selling-by-numbers - good! The relatively short z...
