Superb image quality. Essentially matches 18 Mpixel APS-C DSLRs, Great quality 3in / 920k fully articulated screen, Flash hotshoe and lots of physical controls, Built-in lens with useful general-purpose range and built-in ND filter.
Relatively large and heavy body compared to PowerShots and rival CSCs, Fixed lens with terrible macro and modest shallow DOF effects, Slow continuous shooting and average handling speed, No manual control over movies nor external microphone input.
The Canon PowerShot G1 X is very much a camera of two personalities. On the happy side is superb image quality which matches - and in some cases slightly exceeds - what you can expect from Canon's 18 Megapixel EOS DSLRs, but in a much more portable bo...
Excellent images, video, Very good at high ISO, Manual controls
Costs as much as a DSLR, Slow AF acquisition, Only 77% VF coverage

Superb image quality and shallow depth of field possibilities, excellent sharpness, impressive high ISO performance, Raw capture, variangle LCD
Poor closefocus, offset parallax and limited field of view optical viewfinder, significant price, soso battery life, autofocus system less capable than some competitors
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. But in use there are issues. The hefty price tag ought to bring a better, more advanced auto...
The Canon Powershot G1 X is a very difficult camera to pigeon-hole. Compared to other premium compact cameras, it's much bigger and heavier but has a much larger image sensor that delivers better images with more depth of field. Compared to a compact ...

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....

The Canon Powershot G1 X is the first G-series to use a large sensor, somewhere between a 4/3 sensor and an APS-C one. The 14 MP one fitted in the Canon G1 X gives superb image quality, making it produce the best image quality among fixed-lens cameras. No...
Abstract: Another new camera announced today comes from Canon – the Powershot G1X. This camera too comes with a larger CMOS sensor – however unlike many other cameras with larger sensors is an all in one camera with no interchangeable lenses. Canon are billing ...
