Canon PowerShot G1X II sensor review: Strong contender Introduction Announced in February 2014, the G1X II is a significant revision of the G1X from early 2012. (Photo & text by: Kazuo Nakahara)Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II . We see how it fares on the streets.
This is close to the lightness of the PowerShot G5 X, which has a 1.0-inch type sensor and weighs 377g.Making the camera more lightweight had been a priority in the development process, resulting in a slightly reduced maximum aperture and lens magnification factor. The camera lets you capture photo opportunities even with a natural stance, even as it provides an imaging performance on-par with a DSLR camera.Moreover, it has achieved substantial weight reduction, weighing in at just 399g, which is 154g lighter than its predecessor, the PowerShot G1 X Mark II. This allows the use of enhanced ISO speed to compensate sufficiently for aperture where necessary.PowerShot G1 X Mark III/ FL: 45mm (72mm equivalent)/ Aperture-priority AE (f/8, 1/160 sec, EV+0.3)/ ISO 250/ WB: AutoAs the PowerShot G1 X Mark III fits in the palm of your hand and the lens does not protrude as far as the lens on a DSLR, you can shoot around town relatively inconspicuously. This ensures better handling of moving objects, and that you never miss a photo opportunity.The image processor has been upgraded to the latest DIGIC 7, along with a built-in EVF that can be intuitively operated using touch operations on the LCD monitor.PowerShot G1 X Mark III/ FL: 15mm (24mm equivalent)/ Aperture-priority AE (f/4, 1/250 sec, EV-0.3)/ ISO 6400/ WB: AutoBy equipping the camera with the 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor and DIGIC 7 used on EOS cameras, ISO speeds of up to 25600 are supported. Canon is pitching the new camera as an all-in-one alternative to a DSLR for photographers who want This third-generation model in Canon’s PowerShot G1 X flagship line of compact cameras, brings with bold updates, in the form of a larger image sensor and a significantly lighter body.The sensor size has been increased from the 1.5-inch type of its predecessors to the 24.2 megapixel APS-C size, equivalent to that used on models such as the EOS M5 and EOS 80D, making the PowerShot G1 X Mark III a compact camera with DSLR-like imaging prowess.Furthermore, with support for Dual Pixel CMOS AF (image plane phase-difference detection), the camera is capable of faster and more accurate AF than the Contrast AF used on its predecessors. The progression to a lightweight APS-C sized camera with built-in EVFThe PowerShot G1 X Mark III is actually lighter and thinner than its Mark II predecessor, despite having a physically larger sensor, which is an impressive feat.
The menu system has been upgraded to correspond to the menu system on EOS cameras. When used together with digital zoom, the camera can cover a magnification factor of up to 3 times.The PowerShot G1 X Mark III is equipped with a vari-angle LCD monitor, which allows for greater flexibility has a dust-/water-proof mechanism, providing support in poor shooting conditions and is also equipped with an accessory shoe, which is compatible with Speedlite flash units. There was little resultant impact on bokeh and shooting performance in dark locations.
It was reassuring that this very lightweight camera did not hinder my activities while on the cruise, and that I could shoot without compromising on image quality and operability. The dark areas of the ship were well depicted while also maintaining the highlights created by the large area of clouds captured in the image.I took these shots here when I went on a cruise around Southeast Asia together with my PowerShot G1 X Mark III. The dynamic range has also been enhanced, keeping blowout and black crush to a minimum. All these features suggest Canon’s efforts to build a compact camera capable of capturing all kinds of scenes.PowerShot G1 X Mark III/ FL: 15mm (24mm equivalent)/ Aperture-priority AE (f/5.6, 1/1,000sec, EV+0.3)/ ISO 100/ WB: AutoThe lens is 24mm-equivalent at the wide-angle end, enabling you to capture a large expanse of scenery.
Although the maximum aperture is f/5.6 at the tele-end, the large image sensor made it possible to obtain a creamy bokeh.Effective pixel count: Approx. When I decided to use the leaves in the front as an accent to create some interest in the image, I managed to create a foreground bokeh that was just right. Here, I was able to position the camera in line with the eye level of a sleepy cat.PowerShot G1 X Mark III/ FL: 45mm (72mm equivalent)/ Aperture-priority AE (f/5.6, 1/640 sec, EV+0.3)/ ISO 100/ WB: AutoAt a focal length of 72mm at 35mm-film equivalent, you can expect to obtain a draw-in effect that looks natural. Touch operations are also supported, making it easy to focus the camera when shooting using the monitor. The continuous shooting performance is equivalent to that of the EOS M5, achieving about 9 fps with AF lock and about 7 fps with subject tracking, more than sufficient for these purposes.PowerShot G1 X Mark III/ FL: 45mm (72mm equivalent)/ Aperture Priority AE (f/5.6, 1/160 sec, EV+0.3)/ ISO 400/ WB: AutoThe vari-angle LCD monitor enables you to freely position the camera at virtually ground level for ultra-low-level shooting.
