With a couple of exceptions, the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II is very well designed with a functional shooting layout
The camera is relatively slow and given the price, the photo quality should be better. Also, the grip isn't big enough to maintain a solid hold
The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II has some solid capabilities and a standout lens, but the overall experience just doesn't live up to its price....

Large sensor, Fast f/2.0 maximum aperture, Tilting touchscreen
No viewfinder, Limited video options
Canon G1 X Mark II verdict Open Gallery Just like its predecessor, the Canon G1 X Mk II is one of the most powerful compact cameras on the planet. It's true that it's pretty hefty, that the zoom range is still fairly limited and that the video i...
At the beginning of this review I questioned whether the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II is a better camera than the G1 X, and Im glad to report it is. A lot of this comes down to its improved optics, but its not as revolutionary as one might expect. Batte...

DSLR quality images, sturdy build, great new lens, physical lens control rings, autofocus speed and macro focus improvements, considerable customisation
Super expensive, now no viewfinder for the price, autofocus not ample for professional continuous AF, some controls seem fussy, a bit chunky, widest aperture no good for macro wide-angle shots
Faster, leaner, meaner: the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II represents a considerable overhaul to the series. It's an entirely different beast compared to its predecessor and we salute it for that. But if you want premium image quality then you'll hav...

Excellent stills, quality videos, Much improved performance, Very solid feel
No built-in viewfinder, Screen has reflectivity issues in bright sunshine, Videos only 30p
Just as we gave props for ISO handling, Canon gets an overall cheer for the newly designed PowerShot G1 X Mark II. It is a far superior camera to the original (which should be avoided in favor of this model). Now, for the $800 question, should you buy t...
Great picture quality up to 3200 ISO, Clearly designed interface, Good touchscreen, Two customisable settings rings on the lens barrel, WiFi and NFC, Creative Shot function is a nice extra that's fun to use
Heavy and not particularly compact, especially when switched on, Screen's tilt mechanism seems fragile, Quite a few annoying flaws with design and handling, Slow to switch between EVF and LCD, Slow to start up and save photos, Sharpness levels only look e
The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II impresses on paper and in hand. Leaving aside the LCD's dodgy feeling tilt mechanism, it has plenty to please advanced users who aren't interested in mirrorless lens switchers (which are often more basic) or DSLRs (which a...
