The editors didn't like

  • Too big and heavy
  • Unreliable autofocusing
  • Barebones smartphone app
  • 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
  • Expensive. Soft-focus halo effect when shooting macro images at f/2. Inconsistent autofocus accuracy. Edges never sharpen
  • Even at narrow apertures. Lacks mic input port. Not pocket friendly. Heavy
  • Can be slow at times
  • Grip is too small
  • Images aren't as sharp as we expected
  • We wish that the autofocus were a bit faster and more accurate
  • Wifi implementation is a bit clunky
  • Considerable shadow noise in Raw
  • Abrupt highlight clipping
  • Program line's tendency to use wide apertures can lead to unintentional background blur
  • Inner lens ring can be frustratingly unresponsive
  • AF system can struggle in low contrast / low light sit
  • Removal of viewfinder will disappoint some
  • High list price

  • Qualité d'image, Montée en sensibilité jusqu'à 3200 ISO, Autofocus efficace, Ecran arrière orientable et tactile, Wi, Fi NFC, Bagues d'objectif paramétrables, Interface fluide
  • Poids du boîtier et encombrement, Molette trop fluide, Viseur devenu optionnel, Trop lent au démarrage et entre deux photos, Aucun paramétrage possible en vidéo, Zoom peu lumineux à partir de 35 mm
  • Sur le papier le Canon G1X MKII a tout pour lui : grand capteur de type APS-C, nouveau processeur Digic 6, zoom x5 lumineux au grand angle, Wi-Fi, écran tactile et orientable, bagues, molettes et boutons personnalisables...une liste prometteuse qui le cla...

  • Bonne qualité d'image jusqu'à 3200 ISO, Suivi autofocus très efficace, Interface claire, Écran tactile efficace, Duo de bagues d'objectif paramétrables, Wi-Fi et NFC, Mode Creative Shot
  • Boîtier lourd et peu compact une fois allumé, Mécanisme de l'écran qui ne met pas en confiance, Trop d'approximations ergonomiques, Commutation écran/viseur lente, Lenteur au démarrage et entre deux photos, Grand-angle homogène à partir de f/11 seulement
  • Le G1 X Mk II en impose sur le papier et dans les mains et, à part son écran orientable douteux, il aurait tout pour séduire les utilisateurs experts ne voulant ni d'un hybride (plus léger), ni d'un reflex (plus encombrant). Mais à force d'accumuler les a...

  • Bonne gestion du bruit électronique jusqu'à 1600 ISO, Ouverture f/2 au grand-angle, Mode macro intéressant (mise au point à 5 cm au grand-angle), Excellente stabilisation optique, Ecran LCD de qualité monté sur double charnière pour l'inclinaison, Mode Cr
  • Ouverture glissante de l'optique trop glissante, Performances optiques décevantes, Boîtier lourd et viseur électronique en option, Mode vidéo anecdotique: pas de mise au point manuelle, pas de modifications possibles pendant l'enregistrement, pas de phot
  • Après 15 jours passés en compagnie du G1X Mark II de Canon, il est temps de rendre notre verdict. Sur le papier, le compact expert de Canon a de nombreux atouts pour séduire les photographes exigeants. Sur le terrain, différents détails viennent ternir un...

  • Qualità costruttiva e dei componenti, Resa fotografica, Doppia ghiera e funzioni manuali
  • Impossibilità di ricarica via USB, Funzioni video troppo limitate, Autofocus non sempre preciso con poca luce
  • La G1X Mark II è un'ottima macchina ma non è una macchina per tutti. Non è ad esempio una fotocamera per chi vuole fare video, viste le grandi limitazioni in ambito di ripresa, e non è neppure un prodotto destinato a chi vuole un sistema di messa a fuoco...

  • Buona qualità d'immagine, anche ad alti ISO,  Obiettivo esteso e luminoso, con buona stabilizzazione,  Filtro ND integrato,  Molti controlli manuali con tante personalizzazioni,  Display inclinabile e ribaltabile con ottima luminosità,  Possibilità di sca
  • Alcuni pulsanti non sono ben disposti e facili da azionare,  Nessun controllo di esposizione e fuoco in registrazione video (solo zoom),  AF migliorabile, specie con poca luce e aree a ridotto contrasto,  Raffica veloce solo in JPG, in RAW è lenta,  Funzi
  • Trovare una collocazione per la Canon G1X Mark II non è affatto così semplice come potrebbe sembrare. Tecnicamente la chiamiamo compatta prosumer, ma il termine potrebbe non essere sufficiente a spiegare tutte le sue ottime qualità. Nella sua categoria i...

  • La gestione dei comandi totalmente manuale; l'efficacissimo zoom ottico 5x; i video!
  • La mancanza di un mirino integrato (disponibile separatamente) che avrebbe completato l'opera

  • Molto solida, elevata qualità costruttiva, Specifiche tecniche complete e caratteristiche avanzate, Fotocamera tecnicamente completa, Ampio sensore da 1.5 pollici, Zoom luminoso 5x f/23,9 da 24 mm garantisce ottimi sfocato e bokeh, Interessante modalità d
  • Fotocamera pesante e ingombrante, poco compatta, Assenza di mirino integrato, Elaborazione dei JPG troppo aggressiva, Limitazione delle funzionalità in RAW, Qualità d'immagine appena sufficiente in rapporto al prezzo, Applicazione Canon Camera Windows pac
  • La Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II è sicuramente una fotocamera che si propone con legittimità nella fascia alta del mercato delle compatte, certo con più autorevolezza del modello precedente, ma non è una fotocamera perfetta. Le specifiche sono di primo liv...
