F/2.0-f/3.9 lens with 5x optical zoom, Simple to understand menu system, Very good image quality
Heavy for a compact, Balance isn't great, Button layout could be better
Canon's PowerShot G1X Mark II is a substantial compact camera that can't easily fit in your pocket. It's a good shooter, though, and it gives you the choice to either take advantage of its extensive scene modes, or to wrestle with the exposure settings yo...
Abstract: REVIEW—CANON POWERSHOT G1X MkII] by terry on 15 May 2014 Price: $825 (street) Fat and lovely THE LOW-DOWN: This 13 megapixel camera stretches the definition of “compact”. It is big and heavy, but then it is a camera with heavyweight specifications. ...
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.

High price, No viewfinder

The G1 X MkII is a solid-feeling premium compact that offers an excellent standard of image quality. With improvements in many of the areas that the G1 X was criticised for, Canon has produced a camera that can now hold its own in most shooting situations...
Abstract: The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II is a little heavier than either the Leica or the Fuji and, although it's being advertised as a compact, it's no slim little thing. But it does do stuff neither of my regular cameras can. For example, while I love their fix...

As we can see with the evidence we have gained, the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II offers very good image quality in all situations. Moreover, knowing how to use the wide range of shooting modes offered by this new Canon compact camera, we can not only depl...
