The editors didn't like

Lens visible through viewfinder
Can't access memory card slot when using tripod
Movies are a bit choppy due to 24 fps frame
Slow startup to first shot speed
Slow shottoshot speed

Autofocus and burst performance much slower than most compact system cameras
And even many fixed-lens compacts

Slow AF acquisition

Slow
Fixed lens. Viewfinder is close to worthless. Battery life isn't great. Difficult to justify the 0 price tag for the subpar fixed lens when multilens cameras are available for under
000
Bulky for a compact camera.

Especially at the tele-end

No manual control over movies nor external microphone input.
Poor closefocus
Offset parallax and limited field of view optical viewfinder

Autofocus system less capable than some competitors
Canon har langt på vei sine ord i behold, når de sier at bildekvaliteten fra G1 X er på høyde med kvaliteten fra et EOS speilreflekskamera. Det samme er prisen. Autofokus, eksponering, og fleksibiliteten er ikke det. Der er kameraet mer på linje med pr...
Canon G1 X er en blanding av ti generasjoner med velprøvde G-kameraer og noe helt nytt, nemlig en bildebrikke som er nesten seks ganger større enn i tidligere modeller og nært beslektet den som sitter i Canons speilreflekser. Resultatet er også en bl...
Abstract: Sony DSC-RX100 ligner et typisk “point and shoot”-kamera, men på indersiden gemmer det komponenter af højeste klasse. Det tager superflotte billeder, og skærmen er fremragende, siger Metin Ucar. - For dem, der er på udkig efter et kamera med mange fines...

wysokiej jakości wykonanie, wielkość przetwornika, wygodne sterowanie przyciskami oraz menu, duże możliwości konfiguracji aparatu, szeroka gama filtrów artystycznych oraz profili barwnych, dobra jakość obrazu, niski poziom szumów, obrotowy wyświetlacz
duża waga, duża minimalna odległość ostrzenia, nieprzemyślany wizjer optyczny, wolny autofocus, brak manualnej kontroli podczas filmowania, słaby tryb zdjęć seryjnych
Aparat Canon G1 X ze względu na duże możliwości kontroli oraz konfiguracji jest niewątpliwie zaawansowanym kompaktem. Nie przypadnie on do gustu osobom, które szukają typowego kompaktu w stylu "point and shoot". Dla tych jednak, którzy umiejętnie...
użyteczny zakres ogniskowych 28–112 mm, dobra rozdzielczość zdjęć, dobra jakość zdjęć i niskie szumy w szerokim zakresie czułości, mała aberracja chromatyczna, dobre odwzorowanie kolorów, niewielka dystorsja, winietowanie i koma dla dłuższych ognisko
dość intensywne odszumianie JPEGów na najwyższych czułościach, bardzo duża dystorsja i winietowanie dla ogniskowej 28 mm na plikach RAW, wyraźna koma dla ogniskowej 28 mm, światłosiła obiektywu dla maksymalnej ogniskowej mogłaby być lepsza, problemy z
Dotarliśmy do końca testu Canona G1 X, zatem podsumujmy jego wyniki w poszczególnych kategoriach.FunkcjonalnośćPod względem funkcjonalności Canon G1 X prezentuje się pozytywnie. Do solidności aparatu i jakości wykonania trudno mieć jakieś większe zastrzeż...
Doskonała pod każdym względem jakość obrazu, Wyraźny, ruchomy wyświetlacz, Przemyślany sposób obsługi, Możliwość podłączania zewnętrznej lampy błyskowej i przykręcania filtrów, Solidna obudowa
Słaby akumulator, Mały wizjer
Canon PowerShot G1 X to najlepszy wybór, jeśli szukamy kompaktu zapewniającego jak najwyższą jakość zdjęć. Z punktu widzenia ergonomii, G1 X kontynuuje tradycje tej serii aparatów – dostępne są liczne ustawienia, przyciski i rolki, składające się na przem...
Abstract: Canon PowerShot G1X to jedna z najważniejszych premier towarzyszących CES 2012. Mówi się, że to jeden z najlepszych, jeśli nie najlepszy kompakt na świecie. Ta mocno stronnicza opinia jest w pewnym stopni uzasadniona przez specyfikację techniczną, która w...
Abstract: Video review: Canon'un piyasaya yeni sürdüğü ve daha önceki hiç bir makinesine benzemeyen G1 X, TeknoSeyir'de. Aynasız sistemlere karşı sessiz kalan Canon, G1 X ile büyük algılayıcı ve küçük gövdeyi bir araya getirerek, hem bugüne kadar üretmedikleri bir makine üretmiş...
Solid build quality; versatile lens; good ISO performance; accessory hot shoe,
Bulky exterior; sluggish autofocus; limited focus range; no manual control in video mode.
It is a serious looking compact that doesn't look out of place next to a DSLR and its wide array of external controls will appeal to experienced photographers. ...
