I've owned Canon DSLRs, from the 350D until my current 5D MkII.For my current trip to France, I choose to travel light, so I left big bodies and heavy lens behind, and I bought the G1X.This is an AMAZING camera. IQ is outstanding. Its near-APSC sized sensor allows for huge resolution, while its Digic 5 processor guarantees quality images. What I've done is simply unbelievable for a camera of this kind. I'd say this has been a perfect camera for a trip with the wife (therefore not primarily a "photographic" journey), where it not for TWO drawbacks.Drawbacks:- The G1X shoots video full HD and while DSLRs cannot autofocus while filming, the G1X can, which - again due to its near-DSLR sized sensor and advanced processor - makes for a huge improvement. However all video settings are AUTOMATIC. This is a big problem, since you cannot change aperture settings, the camera does it for you. Therefore, a dark setting gets unnaturally bright, and if you pan towards a clearer scene, the take can go up to near white until the camera finds the right settings. This could be settled, I think, with a firmware upgrade the same way Canon did for many video functions with its original 5DMKII.- A huge problem is using a polarized filter. You can attach a 58mm Pol. filter, but you need a cheap $30 plastic adapter that's not available and is very hard to find. Now, for many photographers the use of a Pol. filter is a must. While theoretically you can do it with the G1X, in fact it'll be quite sometime until this adapter is commonly available. This problem is easier to fix than an automatic override upgrade for the camera. But it seems Canon policy is launching expensive products while dragging its feet when it comes to accessories. I remember what happened with the lack of extra batteries when they released the 5DMkII.Somehow Canon cannot do things about right the first time.

The Canon G1-X is an incredibly capable camera that takes breathtaking photos primarily due to its highly touted 14.1 megapixel CMOS sensor. Keeping it simple, here are the main points you should definitely consider before buying the G1-X:PROS:1) The pictures are for the price and size of camera, simply the best. For much less and with greater portability than a DSLR, the picture quality of the G1-X is simply stunning.2) Incredible lowlight results up to ISO 12800.3) Rich feature set with extremely versatile controls and highly customizable shooting settings.CONS:1) No Macro to speak of (7.8" min.), which I can live with by using my Lumix LX-5 Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD - White for super macros.2) Sluggish Autofocus. OK, this one started to annoy me until I took a close look at my photos and was so blown away by the quality that I easily adapted to the AF's idiosyncrasies. The picture quality is that good!3) Unusable Optical Viewfinder is a non-issue for me as I've never really used one anyway. However, I do get that for some people a full coverage optical viewfinder is an absolute necessity.4) Portability - I can't carry the camera in my front pants pocket - oh well, tough, it's time to shoot pictures with the big boys! In situations where portability is paramount, I use my LX-5.5) A Non-Standard 45mm diameter lens has left me scratching my head and pissed off! WTF, Canon?? This means that there is currently not a single UV lens filter available for the G1-X. Unbelievable, yet still minor in the grand scheme of things.The bottom-line is that if any of these limitations are true deal-breakers for you, then do not purchase the G1-X. If, however, picture quality weighs heavily in your camera purchase process (and the price tag doesn't scare you), then the G1-X is for you.As far as I'm concerned and considering everything I wanted from a new camera, I know for sure that the G1-X was the ideal choice for me, but it won't be for everyone.

I HAVE BEEN READING MANY NEGATIVE THINGS about this camera, DO NOT BELIEVE THEM!!!!....Canon hit a home run with this image making camera and lens, no one that owns and uses it correctly will ever need to buy a camera that changes lenses again....The rest of the camera producers have to be really upset with Canon for producing this camera......l am an image person, and this camera with it's zoom lens leaves nothing on the table.....i paid $799.00 for it, since the so called pros have been bashing it canon has lowered the price to well under $600.00.....You would have to be a fool not to purchase this camera at that price, you get 30 days to make up your mind so you only gain, no lose here......Hey folks, do something for yourself, get this camera.......i have and use the latest full frame DSLR's and APS-C frame cameras from different MFG's and this camera delivers an image that matches them......Don't just trust me, try it for yourself, you get 30 days!!!!!!!...... IF YOU WANT IMAGE, LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!!!

had hoped it would be great...the perfect travel camera but a couple of nagging issues keep it from a 5 star rating in my opinion. The viewfinder, which has been much discussed, is a welcome retention but except for an approximation, is not very useful. For a travel camera, which is why I purchased it, the need to put the camera up to your eye when in sunlight, is a requirement. Would be nice if canon made a reasonably priced 28mm viewfinder.....Image quality is very good...surprisingly so indoors. My Fuji xe1 is better outdoors, however, more saturation. But with interchangeable lenses, and my desire to keep the weight down, I wold still take the canon on road trips.

As a Canon G9 user I wanted to update it with something with the latest in photo technology. Was waiting for the G15 but Canon surprised me with the G1X and it's mega sensor. Photo quality is awesome, video is much better than the G9. The only con is its size, just a tad bigger than the G9.Highly recommended

It's hard to rate this camera. It has a DSLR sized sensor which is good, but it's slow, has a slow lens, and tends to get confused very easily, and can't seem to focus on many objects. The manual focus is terrible, too. Requires a separate lens cap. Seems very well made and is nearly alone in its niche, but you really can't use it indoors easily. If you're going to be taking photos in daylight, it's a great way to get a sort of compact camera with that large sensor. On the other hand, taking photos in daylight, you can get away with a Canon G12 or G15, and it's nearly as large as a small DSLR, so one has to ask, why? I would strongly recommend buying one used rather than new, so you can try it out under real conditions and see if it's "the one for you."

I have been using this camera for several months now, and have observed a few faults with it First, the auto-focus is slow, and, unless you're very light fingered, it's very easy to press the shutter release button all the way down before the camera focuses. Second, the shutter lag is disturbing, and third, it is too easy to accidentally move the exposure compensation dial without realizing it. Other than that I like this camera. The articulated LCD screen is an especially nice feature, and even though most critics are saying the optical viewfinder is useless, I wouldn't buy a camera without one. Try to actually see an LCD scren on a bright sunny day. What attracted me to this camera in the first place is its similarity to the rangefinder cameras of the 1950s, which were the first 35 MMs that I became familiar with. The G1X has that same feel. I am confident that with practice, I can overcome the minor annoyances.

I am having some problems getting used to the menu and function set up. This is my first Canon product. I am sure in time I will get the hang of it. This camera is very sturdy and substantial. It does not feel like a toy. I am hoping the the larger sensor will fill the gap- image wise- between my P&S and my DSLR. I like the ability of having more controls at my disposal. There are many bells and whistles to play with and I am sure I will be using them soon. Loading the disk makes reading the manual easier and more usefull.

I really wanted to like this camera. I own a G11 and absolutely love it*, so I was really looking forward to the G1x. And at first look it was great. Image quality was fantastic especially in low-light (my favorite). It felt very familiar in use, and if you have not experimented with an articulated viewfinder, you are in for a treat. (I'm pretty much done with pentaprism viewfinders.) The construction quality was excellent too; it felt like a real, worthwhile camera.Unfortunately the auto focusing was very weak and slow, and it often simply failed to focus. The specifications said it could get as close as eight inches, but auto focus got even worse at such close range. Even in manual focus mode, it was inconvenient to use that super-sensitive dial wheel on the back of the camera. Perhaps Canon should consider re-purposing the front scroll wheel on the G12 and G1x for manual focus control, and use the rear dial wheel and/or buttons for exposure control.So sadly, I returned it for a refund. I really want a mirrorless camera with a big sensor and an articulated viewfinder. I don't know what I'll end up buying; there doesn't seem to be anything on the market like that right now.(*Except for the manual focus control. This review edited for clarity in several places after R. Schwarz' comment. As originally written, the review was unclear.)UPDATE, 12 December 2012 - I wound up getting a Canon T3i and am very happy with it even though I wasn't planning to buy a dSLR. But I still use my G11 extensively as well. The G1x is a formidable camera but it didn't happen to fit my specific use. If Canon comes out with a nice update I will certainly look at the next model.

I have this camera and have tried to use it. But it is horrible for any sort of macro shots. You actually need to be two feet away or more to take a picture of something. And the viewfinder has a view of the lens. And it's very bulky, and it doesn't sit comfortably in your hands. It's a very awkward and unbalanced feeling camera to hold and use. I realize that it has some features that pros like, such as manual settings, etc. But for a regular user wanting to take great shots with ease, stay away from this clunker.

I bought this after talking to a good friend who is a photographer about where I should get started in the hobby. I've had cheap point and shoots before but after seeing his work I realized I could be more creative and maybe even make some awesome prints if I had a decent camera. A big dslr with a lens with some zoom was too much to carry around but every p&s wouldn't work for night clubs or dim galleries. I need something for hiking, parties, gallery openings, clubs, softball games....the works.I've had this camera for three months and it has never let me down. I don't know what everybody is complaining about around here. After reading some of the reviews and comments here I asked my friend about his G1 X and he disagreed with most of the criticisms too. I don't do macro, fast action isn't a big deal with focus set to continuous for sports, and the iso is so good I don't mind shooting in dark rooms with no flash. No, it's not as fast as his big expensive setup (he owns like ten cameras of all shapes and sizes with a bunch of lenses and whatnot) but I've compared my pictures to his super expensive cameras and was amazed.If you have to take pictures of stuff way far away or get those crazy pictures of a bug's eye, I guess this wouldn't be a good camera for you. For the flexibility, size, and quality it is perfect and totally worth it.

This is a great product if you want to use it for the occasions events, like travelling, wedding etc. It is definitely portable enough to carry, although not small enough to be in your pocket but certainly it is small enough to put in your backpack or purse (unlike SLR).The image quality is excellent, especially with the sharp LCD screen. Like what everyone says great photos even in very dark environment. However is true that it can get a little tricky to focus on an object, particular a person's face, but only in low light or indoor conditions. So you might need to take a few extra shots in case they go blurry.I think 250 shots is a bit exaggerated. I would say 200 shots at most, but I probably won't take that many shot in one occasion.To sum up, this is probably not a replacement for SLR, but if you want just a good camera to take photos from time to time (or when you go out) and don't want to waste time to manual this or that, that this is a great camera for you. However if you are after a great zoom camera or fast action, then this is not for you.

Who am I talking about? First, its aimed at photographers (prof or amateur), not snapshooters. There lots of cameras that are faster and easier to use on Auto and will do a respectable job of taking good pix in most situations. Of course, they don't have the sensor quality/size, or the lens quality to compare to the G1 X. One has to work with this camera a bit and have good photographic skills to get the most out of it.Second, its aimed at people (like me) that DO NOT want to carry or mess with a DSLR, but understand and want superior image quality. With the lens/sensor combination on this cam, it has no rival in the fixed-lens compact realm.Third, its aimed at phtographers that want a little more versatility - the ability to add external TTL-2 flash, remote shutter release, and 58mm filters. There are other accessories as well that can be used with the G1 X.Fourth, it's a great travel camera for photogs. Many G1 X users are traveling with this cam and leaving their bulky DSLR kits at home.Fifth, this camera is built for photographers, not gadget lovers.Just my opinion, but I hope it helps someone considering this fine photographic tool!

As the owner of a Nikon D800, and several point and shot cameras, I decided after some research to purchase this unit. The features offered a great variety of functions and the quality of the shots I take at a low ISO are great. The sharpness of the lens on this camera is excellent at f8.0 which is perfect for landscape applications.One drawback I have is that the camera needs a better grip. I can even get around that viewfinder issue, but holding this camera is difficult even for my normal adult hands. Using a tripod has proven to be the best action for truly sharp and clean pictures.

I bought the camera based on the very positive reviews from others, but unfortunately, I can't agree. I found the shutter lag to be EXTREMELY annoying. Taking the camera out of the box, it has a great, solid feel. When you take pictures of still objects, the clarity is fabulous, and the zoom is the best I've seen. But with the shutter lag, it seems to limit what you can do with the camera -- great for stills, not so great for any kind of live action. When I took the camera to the zoo, I could rarely catch the pic when the animals are looking right at you; and even their movements (pretty slow, not like a sporting event) came out blurry. I tried this in bright daylight, shutter priority, and several other settings. My brother, who has a Canon 60D, also tried it and had the same feedback. For the price, I would have expected faster.

I have come from shooting SLR's/DSLR's to a Point & Shoot. This is a beautiful camera (Canon's flagship model for the G-Series). This camera has built in HDR and a built in ND filter. The camera itself even accept's 50mm filters (with a relatively inexpensive adapter). The Bokeh is quite pleasing for such a small camera; the sharpness at small apertures is quite impressive. If you already own a DSLR collection, this camera is a worthy addition to your stable, for those times you don't want to carry 35 pounds of equipment on your back :)

1st: Everyone has spoken regarding the picture and video quality this camera will give you. My comments are regarding the terrible audio quality outdoors when shooting video. Yes, there a "electronic wind screen" ... it's worthless. If there is even a slight breeze when shooting outdoors you get 25% wind noise. If it's windy it tends to drownout any other audio making the audio track worthless. I recently shot video of the V&T railroads steam engine in Carson City and there was a breeze. The audio was so distorted from wind noise I had to dump it and use canned sound effects. Shame on Canon for sending out a video camera without the ability to add an external microphone with a wind screen. Don't ever shoot video outdoors in a wind or even a light breeze, then this is the best compact there is.Item #2: Lens cap. Why on earth did the makers not use the lens cover as used on the Canon G-11 & 12? Already on Amazon is the "JCC ALC-G1X Professional Auto lens Cap" ($14.99 & free shipping) that opens and closes automatically". This neat add-on is user installed in less than 5 seconds and automatically opens and closes to protect the lens.Update: January 2013 - I've been using the unit for 6 months now and it's both durable and a pleasure to use. It has become my walk-around camera and the Canon 5D Mark II often sits at home most of the time.

The Canon Powershot G1 X delivers outstanding image quality in an easy-to-use, compact package. I prefer to use a custom color setting of +1 for both contrast and saturation, and I also set the Auto White Balance to +A4. These deliver the classic Canon Powershot G colors that I liked so much in my old G2. Highly recommended.

Compared to other cameras, this camera is slow and sluggish. Nice processor, good lens, 14bit RAW, but all too slow and sluggish unless you like photographing mountains. I regret my purchase. My next camera is a Sony.

I'm still learning the camera, but have loved everything about it so far, except for the instruction pamphlet. I finally found a book that explains everything in terms I can understand, which I also bought form Amazon: David Busch's Canon Powershot G1X. I also bought another less helpful book but David Busch's book is all you need!

I am an avid DSLR fan, but life has become to busy with the family to spend time on that kind of camera. So, I down graded to the G1X and I love it. Great quality and still has all of the manual features that I enjoy.

I have just spent my first week using my new G1x. Overall, I am mightily impressed. The image quality is truly outstanding, even at high ISO speeds. My "big" camera is a 7D and the G1x image quality is at least its equal. The controls are intuitive and it's very straightforward to use in my favoured "P" or "Av" modes. I also like the moveable LCD screen - great for shooting candid shots. So many positives; I was so close to giving this camera a five star review.So why only four? Two features let an otherwise fantastic camera down. Firstly, the optical viewfinder is simply dire. Canon - what on earth were you thinking when you designed this? The coverage is so much smaller than the actual final image that it makes accurate composition virtually impossible. Yes, I know I can crop off all the other stuff using Lightroom - but why should I waste pixels and image quality? My second gripe is of less importance, but still irksome - why does the lens not have a simple filter thread to mount a UV filter?Despite these let-downs, I would still recommend this camera as a go-everywhere lightweight compact. The proof of the pudding is in the eating and the images are simply fantastic.

If you've used and liked the previous Canon G series cameras, then you'll probably like this one. Like the others, it's a tank and meant to be driven, not cruise along in automatic mode. Not for snapshots of the kiddies. "Close focus" is only a concept. It's big and heavy.But the images look like they're from an SLR. I love it.

I love this camera in general, but, the macro mode does not allow for close focusing distance which is very sad.
