Wider, longer, faster lens than predecessor, with good overall optical quality; Faster AF performance; Closer macro shooting; Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC with remote shooting; Decent JPEG burst performance; Excellent build quality.

Localized flare issue when wide open; No real net improvement in image quality over predecessor; Slow burst mode when shooting RAW files; Poor battery life; Video quality is so-so (not like Canon DSLRs).

Boasting a wider, longer, brighter lens than its predecessor, and a faster DIGIC 6 image processor, Canon aimed to fix some of the trouble spots seen in the original G1 X. Autofocus performance has been improved as has macro shooting, but we found no...

Great image quality from 1.5in sensor. Best in class ; Flexible 5x zoom range with bright aperture ; Tilting screen with touch capabilities ; Built-in Wifi with NFC and smartphone control

No built-in viewfinder - it's an optional accessory ; Too large to fit in most pockets ; Very basic movie capabilities ; Average continuous shooting speed ; Rudimentary smartphone remote control ; Sticky-feeling control ring

The PowerShot G1 X Mark II is Canon's second attempt at a large sensor compact and thankfully it's streets ahead of its disappointing predecessor. The original G1 X Mark I sported a large 1.5in sensor that delivered great image quality that came close...

The Canon Powershot G1x Mark II’s true asset is its lens. The lens is very fast with larger aperture. The sensor size is about 20% smaller than an APSC sensor but is decent. The RX100 also has a similar sensor, 1 inch in size. The camera also has a...
