The editors didn't like

AF performance needs improvement

Design annoyances
Bulky body
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
ISO dial removed to make room for popup flash
Maximum aperture falls quickly with zoom
Autofocus and burst performance much slower than most compact system cameras
And even many fixed-lens compacts

Inaccurate

Exposur...

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.
Underwhelming macro and low-light performanceNon-interchangeable lensA hefty investment
Considering the above
Very slow continuous shooting for this class of camera
No control over parameters in High-Speed Burst scene mode
Comparatively slow AF
Slowing down further in macro mode

Especially at the tele-end
Slightly steep tone curve in the highlights can lead to blown highlights
Relatively large and heavy body compared to PowerShots and rival CSCs

Slow continuous shooting and average handling speed
No manual control over movies nor external microphone input.
Poor closefocus
Offset parallax and limited field of view optical viewfinder

We suspect that some prospective owners of the G1 X are looking for a general purpose, all-in-one performance-orientated camera. But the G1 X is actually anything but. In many ways, it reminds us of a tank: It's big, powerful and steady, but it's also ...

Puedes alcanzar hasta 12800 de ISO, lo que significa que aunque en la habitación o lugar donde te encuentres haya muy poca luz, podrás tomar fotografías y captar video con buena nitidez
No es una cámara fácil de operar, sus menús no son sencillos de entender y es un poco pesada y robusta. El alcance del zoom es bajo
Esta puede ser la cámara alternativa para los fanáticos de la fotografía que ya tienen un modelo profesional tipo réflex. La calidad de imagen que ofrece y los múltiples ajustes que se pueden realizar en las opciones de configuración van a mantener muy...
Abstract: Hablar de la gama PowerShot G de Canon es sinónimo de referirnos a un nivel muy alto entre las cámaras compactas . La Canon G1X ha sido un paso importante hacia adelante como podemos comprobar en el análisis que le hemos hecho a la cámara en Xataka Foto ....
Su excelente sensor de gran tamaño, permitiendo obtener resultados de excelente calidad, La pantalla giratoria LCD de 3” que entrega mucha comodidad, Sus diales de control manual, Videos con muy buena calidad de sonido
El tamaño y peso hacen que esta cámara no sea tan portable ni cómoda, Su autofoco un tanto lento, sobre todo en condiciones de luz reducida, impidiendo lograr buenos resultados cuando se quiere fotografiar con rapidez situaciones en movimiento, Otra desve
Capteur de reflex et zoom, Taillé pour les baroudeurs, Ecran orientable, Modes artistiques, Filtre ND (densité neutre) intégré, L'enregistrement en RAW
Plage optique commune, Rafale limitée à six images consécutives, Viseur optique décevant
Si nous ne notions que la qualité d'image et la qualité de construction, ce G1X aurait reçu cinq étoiles. Seulement un appareil c'est un tout et ici ses nombreux défauts gâche la fête : il n'est pas véloce, il s'avère tout à la fois trop gros pour un comp...
qualité d'image, gestion du bruit, prise en main, qualité de fabrication, écran articulé.
position macro, mise au point parfois à la peine.
Le G1 X se positionne comme un super PowerShot G. Avec son gros capteur et ses excellentes prise en main et ergonomie, le G1 X en impose. Sa limite en macro, une mise au point parfois poussive, et une relative lenteur viennent cependant l'handicaper fa...
Qualité des images jusqu'à 3200 ISO, Écran LCD monté sur rotule, Zoom optique 4x de qualité, Mode rafale à 5,4 ips sur 6 vues, Enregistrement Raw sur 14 bits
Viseur optique peu précis et peu confortable, Rendu des valeurs et des couleurs de l'écran décevant, Mise sous tension trop longue, Mode vidéo 1080 à 24 ips seulement, Mode P non décalable, Mode macro décevant
Si le capteur du G1 X est une vraie réussite, "l'enrobage" nous laisse un peu sur notre faim. La prestation de ce compact expert est d'un niveau correct, mais nous espérions un ensemble plus qualitatif avec un vrai viseur optique, un zoom plus lumineux...
