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 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...

Con un sensore da 1.5”, 13 megapixel e un corpo da "Pro", la Canon G1X Mark II si pone come alternativa di qualità nel corredo nel fotografo professionista. La scelgono i fotografi che scattano con reflex Canon quando non vogliono dare troppo...

Canon PowerShot G1X Mark II has improved a lot from the older G1X, both in terms of speed as well as usability. Image quality and ISO performance are quite good, but looking at the competition it should have been even better. Addition of Wi-fi and NFC is...

Le PowerShot G1X Mark II fait de bonnes images notamment en plein jour : à 800 euros et avec une si grosse optique, encore heureux. Mais il est un peu lourd, il est plutôt encombrant, pas très véloce et sans charmes. Face à des petits experts...

The Canon Powershot G1x Mark II's true asset is its lens. The lens is very fast with larger aperture. The sensor size is about 20% smaller than an APSC sensor but is decent. The RX100 also has a similar sensor, 1 inch in size. The camera also has a...
