Large image sensor. Sharp lens. Good high ISO performance.
Expensive. Limited macro capability. Small optical viewfinder. Slow lens. 1080p video is limited to 24 frames per second
The Canon G1 X is a compact camera with a big sensor and a fixed zoom lens. At $800, it's a tough sell, as you can get an equally-capable compact camera, D-SLR, or mirrorless interchangeable lens camera for less money....

Very slow continuous shooting for this class of camera, no control over parameters in High-Speed Burst scene mode, Comparatively slow AF, slowing down further in macro mode, Limited close focusing capabilities require frequent switches to macro focus mode, Built-in zoom lens is relatively slow, especially at the tele-end, Slightly steep tone curve in the highlights can lead to blown highlights
The G1 X is Canon's first, by many nervously anticipated, venture into large-sensor compact cameras and, without a doubt, a particularly interesting addition to the marketplace. The G1 X is a hard camera to categorise though - it combines excellent 'l...
Given the same money will buy the Samsung NX11 (with an ‘APS-C' size sensor), Sony NEX-C3 (likewise), Pentax Q (with a much smaller sensor) or the Olympus E-PL3 (with a Micro Four Thirds sensor), should the G1X really have interchangeable lenses? Given th...
