I just purchased this camera rather than the new one coming out or now out. I do miss my macro but with tweeking I have got close and have just ordered some macro items and am planning to get a close up lens. Took it on vacation just this month and it took some glorious pictures - they look like paintings, and video.. However the camera is not for someone who only knows how to shoot in auto (like my hubby). I have had it only a month and am still learning. I still lust after the Mark II but maybe once that goes down in price I'll try it..have the g16 too so we'll see. I do not find the battery life to be poor at all. For macro try raising the ISO and I also took it in 1:1, at least it seemed to get me a better picture up close but still not true macro.

THIS CAMERA CAN TAKE GREAT MACRO -here's how-Simply -in jpeg-go to manual setting-then go to macro or regular and shoot macro-if it is under 7 feet ALWAYS DO THIS. All right , you need to remember always do the Macro setting if under 7-10 ft. NEXT-go to menu and choose DIGITAL ZOOM-the 2nd one down -arrow to 1.5 or 1.9x- this will enlarge the shot beautifully-I said beautifully-THIS SETTING WILL STAY LIKE THIS UNTIL YOU CHANGE IT BACK-You can use it for regular setting also -the normal or the mountain setting next to the Macro one. This makes the G1X the best Macro shooting camera around! It really is cropping the shot in and enlarging it-but because the sensor is so large you really don't lose quality. THAT'S WHY THIS IS A REALLY COMPLETE CAMERA. OH- AND SHOOT SPORT MODE FOR FAST SHOTS OF CHILDREN-IT WORKS GREAT ALSO- Yes it chooses speed and aperture but it is Fast! No waiting for camera to get ready again.

I have a Canon DSLR camera with all sorts of lenses and attachments, i.e. 25 pounds or more of stuff to carry around in a large bag to take well composed photographs. Yes, I can take snapshots but I wanted something more than my cellphone camera and the G1x is it. There are lots of scene modes for those quickie shots and the standard creative modes for something where you want to exercise more control over aperture, speed, and ISO. My Canon DSLR is a bit on the older side and the G1X represents a big evolutionary step in terms of the software. The stabilization features are very impressive, especially for video and I love the different aspect ratios since many of my photos go onto web pages. I shoot both in RAW mode for the creative side and JPEG for the snapshots.Also recommended: Buy the G1x book, do not buy the lens cap replacement.

I went in with my eyes open--knowing that macro shots would not be in the G1x's bag of tricks. With the compact design and the large sensor, you can't get good focus up close. A small sensor will give you that, but sacrifice low light and soft background capability in the process.I shoot mostly outdoor architecture and landscape shots, so I was pretty much looking for just this thing. I carry an S95 in my pocket pretty much everywhere I go, but when I'm out sightseeing, the G1x has replaced my T2i for most outings. I have a macro lens for that, so when I'm doing product photography I still have that covered.Here's what I like about the G1x:Love the control layout. For a Canon shooter this camera is already a known quantity before you take it out of the box. Easy to pick up all the controls without even touching the manual.Works with eye-fi card and New Ipad like a charm. It's really fun quick-editing RAW on the spot with Photogene, posting straight to Flickr and sharing on facebook immediately while most others are getting their facebook images from their cellphone cameras. I've been doing this for a year now with the S95, and the G1x really shines here. I hope someone develops a next-gen RAW editor for iPad that really exploits the new processing power and retina display. I'd like a much more thorough sharpening subroutine and many more options for tonemapping. But all in all, the G1x and New iPad seem to be made for each other--smaller than a pro rig and with somewhat limited functionality, but very good in what they CAN do.Really, really dig the lens. For a Canon, this thing is very sharp. Maybe I got a really good 'un, but man. I'm getting a lot more keepers with this than with the big rig. Strikes a good balance between speed and low distortion and zoom range. Puts a good image on that big sensor. I shoot in Av most of the time, and the built-in ND element inside that lens really slows down a shot and gives me some great effects. Great tripod camera.I also notice the pics come out with much more smoothness and glow than from the S95/G12. The lens/sensor combo here doesn't give you Leica luminosity, but it's really good for a Powershot.Low light performance is fine, but I would have been willing to put up with a bit more distortion for a faster lens. I know the whiz kids at Canon have reasons for every little decision they make on these things, and the compromise is evident. There is no one camera at this price that can give any one shooter everything he wants.Also, did I mention this thing is BIG. I mean, hefty bag here. Feels great in the hand, doesn't let you forget you're shooting a non-DSLR, but really a solid chunk of camera.Compared to the G12, this thing really rocks. Minus the macro ability. I don't use it for that, so I'm getting real joy from it so far. Can't wait for this summer's family reunion. I'll leave the monster and the lenses at home and just take this guy and his little S95 brother along. Can't wait to see my brother's face when we compare images from his Super Zoom to mine.He'll want one of these.

If you want a camera with professional caliber images to use when you don't feel like hauling along a digital SLR, this camera is for you. The image sensor is a tiny bit smaller than the sensors in most APS-C digital SLR cameras. It's huge compared to typical point and shoot digital cameras. Under the hood, Canon uses the same image processor that is in their top-line cameras.The G1X is aimed at professional shooters who want to take a camera wherever they go without carrying all the weight of their usual kit. The G1X has a superb lens that was engineered specifically for this camera. That means it will give you optimal performance-- and you can see it in the quality of your images. This camera has all the manual features you would expect from a professional camera and it takes beautiful pictures in no-brainer mode, too. Can't be it.I bought this camera to carry in a bike bag when I ride. I don't want to miss and photo opportunities when I am cycling. Since I write articles on cycling and travel photography, this great little camera fills that need very nicely. When I need a long lens, I carry a digital SLR.I highly recommend it.

This camera has too long a delay between shots, so I have missed many I would have liked to capture. For a camera this expense, I believe the delay is totally unacceptable. What I do like about this camera is the excellent photos it takes in low light. But, overall, I have to say I definitely not buy it again.

First off don't believe all the expert reviews. I have read a lot of them over the past few months. I believe some of those writers at the review sites haven't even seen one. The G1X is supposedly geared to the more professional market as a backup and more portable and discreet camera with high quality images. With this in mind the operation will of course take some getting used to. I am a photojournalist working in some extreme conditions and this would theoretically be a great fit as I always have to have a camera with me.Upon opening the box, to my surprise and disappointment I found that this $800 camera does not come with an owners manual and we all have to occasionally refer to the manual. It comes with a CD to down load it so while you are dealing with extreme conditions with your new G1X in your BDU side pocket or trying to be discreet you will have to carry your laptop with you for any questions and there are defiantly some. Trust me, just viewing you photos is a challenge in itself. Come on Canon not even an app.I am shooting in Raw which is why I bought this camera. It seems that many of the reviewers have obviously not taken any photos and tried to open them in PhotoShop (CS4) because it can't be done. So much for targeting the pro market. The only way to open them is to use Canon's Digital Photo Professional software. Here is the trick, You either have to download and install all the crap on their CD to get a usable version of DPP (there is no custom installation) or in my case I went to Canon Service and Support site and downloaded an upgrade to the DPP version I already had and was using flawlessly with the Raw images form my 7D. The 7D Raw images open in Bridge and Photo Shop with no problem. You can open the G1X Raw images now with the upgrades DPP and do some very basic editing then using the batch processing, save them in tiff (80mb) to a file and then open them in bridge and Photo Shop to work on them which is a real pain but can be done. If you plan to travel with the G1X , don't plan on using just any coffee house computer etc.The main reason that I will be returning this thing, is that my wife loves to accompany me on location and while she can handle any situation that comes our way, she is not a photographer, but will shoot some great grab shots that I may miss as long as the camera is set to Auto (green) and I can cleanup or crop later as long as the info is there. So another important reason that I wanted this Camera is that I can hand it to my wife and off we go. Not exactly, the G1X will not shoot in Raw while set to auto or any scene modes.This camera is a total disappointment for the niche I hoped to fill . Nice design too. When you look through the viewfinder you see the barrel of the lens in the lower left corner.

Like a couple of other reviewers, I have no clue why this camera gets ANY negative reviews. They are uncalled for, and I don't know what the problem could be except.......It is possible, that a buyer could have received a defective camera. After all, like many other products, these camera's are mass produced. I recently purchased a NEX5, and right out of the box, it was bad, BUT BUT BUT, it was not easy to catch. I thought it was just a bad model! I took it to the camera shop that sold it to me, they discovered it was a bad camera from the factory & sent it back for me. (should have just given me a new camera)This Camera is Perfect. The pictures are every bit as good as my 60D or my NEX5. The controls give me complete control over the camera in a very well layed out system. The camera is very comfortable to hold and work. The only fault I can find is that the movie button is easy to hit because it's close to where your finger rests on the back of the camera.Now, yes, it's not as fast as my 60D. And I haven't really tried the macro yet. I don't do much macro. I didn't think that a P&S could be like this. If it wasn't for the speed not equaling the SLR's, this camera would be the one to have. Of course there are the different lenses, and much better zooms in the SLR's and the other camera's with those features, but the picture quality is beyond reproach!!! This camera is a perfect back up, Travel, or carry camera. It is absolutely amazing.UPDATE: As others have said, and I did believe them from the get-go, This Camera does NOT do Macro. Just doesn't do it. Doesn't focus. And, as others have stated, the lens is not plumbed for a UV filter, so as to protect the lens. (you have to buy an adapter that fits in the 44mm hole, and then buy a 52mm filter to fit in the adapter) The lens cap itself is like you get when you go to the more expensive Good Camera's, so that's not a big deal. I like a bigger camera, it's easier to hold & manipulate, the small camera's are harder to keep hold of. Speed, it's faster than my S95!Although this camera is geared for the right hander, the front right side is a hard rubber for your fingers, and the back has a 3/4 inch square rubber pad for the thumb.You can either run with the LCD turned around so as not to use it, or turn it so you can. The viewfinder is aimed funny, taking in part of the lens in the view. Although I haven't used it to date, I assume Canon has aimed it so as to line up your pictures properly.Once again, the pic's coming out of this camera WILL SPOIL YOU!!!

I've been a fan and user of G series Powershots for years. It's not a basic point and shoot, but I don't expect them to be the equal of the DSLR.Image quality has always been excellent, and has improved with each upgrade to both the chip and processor. The G1X is a major step up from my G7 and G10.Given the major advancement to the imaging system, the lack of a proper zoom range is ridiculous. The excuse that a lens with a longer zoom range would be visible in the viewfinder is truly lame. Yes, it would be visible, but then if I'm trying to focus on an object that requires the equivalent of a 200mm zoom, I would not be using the viewfinder anyway.It would also be nice if Canon would standardize on a single battery format. I have a drawer full of Canon chargers because nearly every one of their cameras uses a different rechargeable battery.GPS Geotagging would also be nice on such a high end compact camera.

This is a better camera than PowerShot G12 that I used in the last few years. The problem of this camera is that NOBODY makes the good lens hood for this camera. Lens filter and adapter can't go on together with lens hood. What is Canon thinking? Someone is sleeping in their design shop. Whoever that is, he should be fired.

This is a wonderful compact camera when it is used within its limits. I bought it to carry with me when I didn't want to carry my D3S or D800, like when I am out bicycling or hiking in the back country, or just to have with me when a DSLR is too bulky or inconvenient to carry.This camera has the issues you will have read in other reviews, like it does focus slowly, especially when using the pop-up flash. The focus range is narrow, the "macro" stinks. But what it does do and does VERY well is take some amazing images!I have owned a Nikon P7000 & P7100, and those are wonderful cameras with ALL of the features that others compain that the G1X lacks, but where the G1X shines above them is the image quality and much better higher ISO due to its large sensor. So with the G1X I can handhold shots inside and use a faster shutter speed than I could with another camera and get the shot!Like I said, my main reason for buying this camera was to use it for outdoor/landscape photography, and this is where this camera REALLY shines above. Not only does it have a (close) APS-C sized sensor, Canon put its TOP glass in the lens, so the images are crisp and sharp!This camera is not for everyone, but for those that want great images from a compact, then this is the one to buy.

I recently had my back up camera taken on a trip to China and bought this to replace the G12. I particularly like the swivel window. HOWEVER, Amazon's ad said that if I bought the camera from them, I would get a free SanDisk 16GB Memory Card and Case and I DID NOT RECEIVE EITHER OF THEM. Here's hoping that they will read this and get them to me.

I've been shooting with this camera for a while now and overall I'm dissapointed in it. If i had the option i would rather have something else. This camera is touted as a professional level compact, but I don't think it even comes close to the standard compacts, especially at this price. Real bad stuff: The latch on the battery compartment has no lock, just a spring loaded latch that is always popping open with the least level of handling. It shoots slow, I have a big chip in it but it still lags when you press the shutter, very annoying. I read a lot of comments about the close up capabilities, a bunch of people making excuses, but bottom line, this camera has absolutely no close up capability. Even the cheapest lumix outshoots it in this regard. Overall i'm very dissapointed in this camera, especially when you consider the money I spent for it, and the fact that it's a Canon.

I want to return it, but I do not have its original receipt. I will call amazon about this. I have not taken any pictures with this camera, what I find distressing is the bulk and the weight of this thing. I had no idea. My current Canon compact camera is a G12 and I thought this would be better. It is not. It is not a pocket camera, and as I read the reviews it does not do what I want. If I can find a way to return it I will replace it with a G15 for its low light qualities.

I'm one of the few wedding professionals who still shoot their pictures on film. I do own a handful of digital camera bodies though for low light situations, and to offer my clients a choice. I just picked up the G1x and I have to say, it has turned into my favorite camera. I still love my film camera, but the G1x is a close second because of its quality.The PROS: Quality of pictures, low light capability, the ability to go anywhere and to get professional shots without looking like a professional photographer (trust me on this! You can show up in a mall with a model, shoot like a tourist and security won't even know!)The dynamic range is also incredible. There's no need to shoot in Raw anymore as your exposure needs to be way off to wash out shots.The CONS: To embrace this camera, you have to change your workflow. Because you are not shooting through the lens, you honestly don't have a good idea of what you are composing, especially if you are shooting with an extreme back-lit shot such as a sunset, your subject is completely black. So what I do is I focus on my subject, hold down the shutter halfway to lock focus, then I look at the subject to make sure they are posed right, then I compose in the LCD and fire. The workflow is different, not slower. So this really isn't a con.Also, the LCD is not accurate when it comes to judging exposure, especially whites. I use a speedlight and many times I'm thinking the whites are getting washed out, when they really are not. I found that putting the LCD on the lowest brightness settings is pretty close to accurate exposure, but still, it's a little contrasty. Trust your histogram and metering, not the LCD for exposure. If you're shooting with a flash, and there are whites in the image, it's better to underexpose by a quarterstop and correct it in the computer. In fact, bringing up the exposure in lightroom works really well on 1/4 stop underexposed images.You can view a few of my pictures taken on the G1x here:[...]

I think this is a GREAT backpacking/travel camera if you aren't too much of a weight weenie, and you don't need to put the camera in your pocket. Like all cameras, it is a compromise. It gives truly excellent image quality; pretty close to a crop frame SLR. It weighs less than an SLR, but operates more slowly. Not a good choice for action photos, but truly excellent for landscapes and posed outdoor portraits. It won't fit in my pants pocket, but I can hike with it just fine using a chest strap and case. Battery life is excellent. Videos and sound quality are surprisingly good. People gripe about the small view finder, but at least it has one. I find a view finder essential for bright days on snow or water, especially when I'm wearing sunglasses. This one works fine for me.

Yes, I wish it was smaller, weighed less, was faster, and magically focused on exactly what I wanted, but there are physical limits on what can be packed into a small space. When it comes to image quality, this camera far exceeds my Canon G9, and is not noticeably worse in any way besides being larger (and more expensive (and I guess macro shots which I don't care much about)).I come at this as a person who cares a lot about image quality, takes thousands of photos a year, but have never wanted to be burdened with lugging around a DSLR everywhere. My initial interest in photography was landscapes but now I have a 2 year old son so I spend a lot of time taking kid photos too.Kids are really hard to photograph since they are always moving and have no interest in looking at the camera, so I was worried about the slowness of the G1 X mentioned in many reviews. In terms of speed/auto-focus, the G1 X feels roughly the same as my G9 and any other compact camera I have owned. The tracking auto-focus feature is great for kids and an improvement over my G9. Also, the high ISO performance allows me to take photos I wouldn't have even tried with any of my previous cameras. Most importantly though, when I do manage to get a photo of my son where his eyes aren't half closed, the quality is amazing.Other random thoughts:- Lens cap is kind of a pain but I'll get used to it.- Despite having a higher resolution and capturing more detail, the jpg image file sizes are significantly smaller than those from my G9.- When I zoom in on a photo of a blue sky taken by my G1 X it is solid blue. Photos from my G9 always had a certain amount of noise, even in bright light. This is just one example of the obvious improvement the G1 X makes in clarity and detail.In short: No camera is perfect and the G1 X does not cure all the drawbacks of a compact camera as compared to a DSLR. It does take a giant leap in terms of image quality and high ISO performance, and for that reason, I don't think I could go back to using a "normal" compact.

I have been a very satisfied Canon G10 owner since 2009 and saw the G1X as an upgrade to a similar camera with better image quality and better low light performance, while still keeping a relatively compact form factor. I have now had a chance to test out my new G1X and can happily report I am well pleased with it. Here are the particular points I like (I share them on the chance there may be others considering the G1X who have similar priorities to mine):1. Image quality. The images are definitely richer and more textured compared to those produced by the smaller sensor on the G10.2. Low light performance. The quality of images even into the highest ISO ranges (up to 12,800) is quite remarkable. The "scene" setting includes a new option for taking nighttime images without a tripod. This means much greater capability for getting good shots (even action shots) in low light.3. Viewfinder. Although I see a number of reviews knocking the viewfinder, that is all I used on the G10 and all I am likely to use (with very rare exceptions) on the G1X. In my case, trying to take photos with the LCD panel is very unnatural and very difficult in bright light. I have a back-up camera that lacks a viewfinder (I carry it with me on fishing trips) and have missed a number of potentially excellent wildlife shots because I was simply unable to fix the camera on my subject soon enough.4. Moment Catching. Some other reviewers have described the G1X as "slow" and not a "moment catcher." I disagree. I concede it will not focus in the nanosecond required by a DSLR; it may need half a second if you haven't prefocused it already. However, I find that fully adequate to capture all of the "moments" that interest me.5. Compact. In contrast to a DSLR, the G1X fits comfortably into a bag I can wear on my belt. That was one of the attractions to me of the G series cameras: high quality images in a compact package. The belt bag that fits the G1X well for me is the Lowepro Rezo 60.
