Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III

 

The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III is the smallest zooming APS-C camera we've seen, but it feels like a step back from the Mark II.

Big, APS-C image sensor. Compact body. Dual Pixel AF. EVF. Vari-angle touch LCD. Dust and moisture resistant.

Expensive. Short, narrow aperture zoom lens. Disappointing battery life. Eye sensor active with LCD away from body. Video limited to 1080p.

The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III is a camera that leaves me with very mixed feelings. It puts an APS-C sensor and zoom lens into a form factor we haven't seen before—one that's pocketable—and both the lens and sensor are quite good. Canon's Dual Pixel...

Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III review

 

Canon's newest PowerShot flagship comes with a large APS-C sized sensor, built-in zoom lens, and yet, is small enough to fit in your pocket. So how does it stack up? Find out in our full review.

Canon's PowerShot G1 X Mark III exists in somewhat of a vacuum. It has a large APS-C sized sensor, is small enough to be considered pocketable, and has a permanently attached zoom lens with a versatile focal range. In other words, there have been...

Canon puts a zoom lens on its G1 X Mark III APS-C compact camera

 

Leica did it first, but it's telling that no one else has tried in the four-year interim.

Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III Review

 

The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III is the smallest G-series camera to date, yet remarkably it has the largest image sensor of any G-series camera ever released, featuring the same APS-C sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF system as the EOS 80D and M5 cameras...

Canon G1X Mark III Review

 

The PowerShot G1X Mark III represents a pair of firsts for Canon's compact camera category. For one, the G1X III is Canon's first compact camera to use an APS-C sensor, and secondly, it's the first PowerShot to include Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus...

Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III review

 

This premium compact packs a big sensor into a small body. Our Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III review tests the results.

Cut-above in image quality ; Weatherproof build ; Excellent touchscreen interface

Battery life could be better ; No 4K

Beautifully made and downright fun to use, the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III is a terrific feat of engineering – stuffing that APS-C sensor into a body this dinky is no small achievement. The touchscreen interface works brilliantly, and it’s loaded up...

Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III Review: A Powerful But Pricey Point-and-Shoot for Travelers

 

For an advanced bridge camera, the PowerShot G1 X Mark III has a gentle learning curve but provides plenty of power for expanding your skills and creativity. It's also extremely compact, which is important when you're traveling. Still, for the high...

Compact and lightweight ; Very good for travel ; Offers many scene modes ; Excellent in low light and challenging lighting ; Responsive swiveling touch screen

Lacks 4K video recording ; Only 3x optical zoom ; Slightly less versatile than other high-end bridge cameras ; Very pricey for its class

The lightweight Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III is a great travel companion, but it comes at a higher price than you'll pay for better-performing competitors.

Canon G1X Mark III

 

A mighty little camera that rewrites the rulebook for zoom compacts. Canon G1X Mark III.

Class-leading image quality ; Excellent control layout and handling ; Robust weather-resistant construction

Lens is a little limited in terms of creative potential ; Relatively poor battery life ; No 4K video recording

Want a small camera with a short zoom lens, electronic viewfinder and the highest possible image quality? Then the G1X Mark III is without doubt one of the very best on the market right now.

Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III review

 

A unique compact, thanks to an APS-C sensor and zoom lens

APS-C sensor in a small body ; Built-in EVF ; Refined touchscreen interface ; Compact size

Limited zoom range ; Battery life restrictive ; Only 1080p video capture

The PowerShot G1 X Mark III is the first APS-C format compact camera to feature a zoom lens, making it worthy of interest. It's pricey, but Canon may just have hit the sweet spot for enthusiast photographers looking for a compact partner for their DSLR...
