It featured a 1.5" sensor (which is only 20% smaller than APS-C), 28-112mm lens (albeit a moderately slow one), fully articulating LCD, and optical viewfinder (a rarity at the time). One of the most exciting cameras that debuted in 2012 was Canon's PowerShot G1 X. Successor to the original G1X, Canon has kept the 1.5in sensor, but coupled it with a broader and brighter 5x zoom, improved the macro, dropped the optical viewfinder but offers an optional electronic viewfinder, made the screen touch-sensitive, equipped it with. Summary The Canon PowerShot G1X Mark II is a high-end compact aimed at those who desire DSLR quality in a smaller, fixed lens body.

The 24.3-megapixel sensor is paired with a variable aperture 24-72mm f/2.8-5.6 full-frame equivalent zoom lens. 28mm wide-angle lens, pepper 28-336mm range, HD video recording Sample photos: Canon PowerShot SX130.The Powershot G1 X Mark III is the first Canon Powershot camera to offer an APS-C sensor, something that will add significantly to low-light capabilities and improve bokeh for those who love a shallow depth of field. The G1 X was far from perfect: the lens' maximum aperture range of F2.8-5.8 wasn't great, AF performance and minimum focus distance were disappointing, continuous shooting rates were poor, and battery life was downright lousy.PowerShot G1 X Mark III - Manual de Instrucciones.
Something that got sacrificed in all this was the optical viewfinder, but fear not, you can buy a tilting XGA EVF for $300. The camera is also significantly smaller than its forebear, now looking more like an over-grown S-series, rather than an out-sized G12. The LCD has also been redesigned: it now tilts upward 180° and downward 45° - instead of flipping out to the side - and touch functionality has been added, as well. It also promises a faster, more sophisticated AF system, improved continuous shooting, dual control dials around the lens, and Wi-Fi with NFC. For a start, the G1 X II has a faster lens that covers a wider focal range and can shoot much closer to a subject.

It's interesting to compare the EOS-M, which is similar in body size, to the G1 X II: the built-in lens and smaller sensor allow the PowerShot to remain much smaller than the 'M' would be, were there an equivalent lens available.While the total pixel count of 15 million is the same as on the G1 X, the G1 X Mark II only uses around 13 million (versus 14.3).The G1 X Mark II's pixel dimensions show that it's cropping from a sensor that's larger than the imaging area, allowing it to offer the same angle-of-view for both the 3:2 and 4:3 aspect ratios - something that the original G1 X could not do.The 18.7 x 12.4 mm sensor size that Canon has been quoting appears to refer to the 3:2 crop area - the sensor itself is the same size as the one in the original G1 X. The result is still a fair bit smaller than the APS-C-sized sensors used in Canon's DSLRs, but then the camera is quite a bit smaller, too. Wi-Fi with NFC with remote control via smartphoneThe big story remains the G1 X II's 1.5"-type sensor which is around 5.6 times larger than the one found in Canon's own PowerShot G16.
Canon has also improved the autofocus system, and claims that the G1 X has the 'the fastest in Canon compact camera history.'The combination of the camera's fast lens and 1.5" sensor pays big dividends, as illustrated below:The above chart shows the changes in 35mm equivalent aperture as the equivalent focal length increases. Where the minimum focus distance on the G1 X was an unhelpful 20cm (and 40cm in most modes), the new lens can be just 5cm away from its subject. The use of a smaller sensor area means these numbers aren't directly comparable, but the new lens is certainly brighter.

The bad news is that the EVF costs $300.One final feature of note shouldn't be surprising in this day and age, and that's Wi-Fi. However, this is a step backwards from the hinged, fully articulated screen on the original G1 X, that made it much more flexible.While the optical viewfinder from the G1 X is gone (and to be honest, it wasn't very good), Canon offers an XGA (1024 x768 pixel) EVF that attaches to a special connector on the hot shoe and can tilt upward 90 degrees. It's also touch-enabled, which allows for all of the controls that you'd expect from such a feature. One could also make the assumption that the G1 X Mark II has the potential for better low light performance than the other cameras shown.Getting back to new features: the LCD has been redesigned and can flip up by 180 degrees (you know, for selfies) and down by 45 degrees. That doesn't last long, as the G1 X quickly pulls away from all but the Rebel until you reach 50mm, at which point the G1 X Mark II is in a class by itself.So what does this all mean? Simply put, it means that the G1 X II allows for shallower depth-of-field than the cameras that are 'above it' on the chart. The G1 X II starts off very well, and bumps into three other cameras (the original G1 X, Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II, and Canon Rebel with kit lens) at 28mm.
The most notable are the electronic viewfinder and custom grip.The EVF-DC1 ($299) is an XGA electronic viewfinder with 2.36 million dots (a 1024x 768 pixel display). AccessoriesThere's no shortage of extras available for the G1 X Mark II. You can see the cosmetic changes on the Body & Design page. The chart below lists the more significant ones:With the exception of battery life and degree of LCD movement (and, for some people, the optical viewfinder), the G1 X II has much more impressive specs than its predecessor. Specs ComparedAs you've probably gathered by now, there are quite a few differences between the G1 X Mark II and its predecessor. NFC (near-field communication) is also supported, which allows you to pair the camera with compatible smartphones by tapping them together.
Switching the grip out just involves removing a pair of screws, swapping the pieces, and then screwing the new one back in.Other accessories include an underwater housing (WP-DC53), 58mm filter adapter (FA-DC58E), lens hood (LH-DC80), and remote shutter release (RS-60E3).Interestingly, the October, 2014 issue of Consumer Reports Magazine just rated the G1X Mark II as "Our best-scoring camera ever", where it compared 16 Point-and -Shoot cameras for Image Quality, Flash Photos, Video Quality, LCD Quality, and their Viewfinder, after taking the average of scores for each category. Canon offers the GR-DC1A custom grip ($29), which is more substantial. It does, of course, mean that you need to spend more money to get a camera with a viewfinder, but that effective price increase over the G1 X also gains the faster, more versatile lens, smaller form factor and all the camera's other improvements.Those with large hands may find the G1 X Mark II's grip a bit lacking. While the resolution of the viewfinder is quite high, the refresh rate isn't nearly as nice as the main LCD.There will be some people who decry the loss of the G1 X's built-in viewfinder but, given how small and imprecise it was, we feel the option to include of a considerably better finder (or not, if you don't want to spend the extra), is a reasonable alternative. It has a built-in eye sensor, or you can turn it on via the button on its left side.
The main regret I do have though, is that the G1X is SLOOOOW. But for anything that can take shots handheld in the full moon, the tech specs start to matter less. I used to worry a lot about corner sharpness, aperture, NR, integer ratio scaling, readout noise and on and on (and that worked out well when choosing a small sensor camera like the G7). 24k shots and 276GB later (videos, not raws) I have few regrets - I'm going to sound like an emotive (or worse) type when I say all the technical details I don't really care about any more, and that carries on to the G1X Mk2. They mention several "quibbles" with it, and that consumers may have preferences for an SLR, interchangeable lens feature, a superslim camera, or waterproof camera.So I guess it gets back to what is important to me, with the tests being simply reference info.I got the Mk1 G1X the day it came out (broke my G7, had been looking at the G1X and Nikon 1 variants anyway).
