The editors liked
Small size
Large sensor
Touchscreen
Builtin WiFi
The big sensor
Small pixel count
Modest zoom and optically brilliant lens altogether make for images unlike other compacts can produce. Dynamic range is wide
Resolved detail is sparkling and the ISO sensitivity can be set up to 3200 with good results.
F/2.0-f/3.9 lens with 5x optical zoom
Simple to understand menu system
Very good image quality
With a couple of exceptions
The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II is very well designed with a functional shooting layout
The editors didn't like
High price
No viewfinder
Does it really need to be this heavy? The WiFi connectivity with a smartphone is pretty crude compared with the competitors' apps
But you do at least get basic tethering and zoom control
Heavy for a compact
Balance isn't great
Button layout could be better
The camera is relatively slow and given the price
The photo quality should be better. Also
The grip isn't big enough to maintain a solid hold
The lack of a built-in viewfinder is always a deal-breaker for us and reviewing the PowerShot G1X Mark II reinforced our belief that any kind of viewfinder, no matter how basic, is better than none at all. An optional EVF is a poor solution, requiring the...

Canon's PowerShot G1X Mark II is a substantial compact camera that can't easily fit in your pocket. It's a good shooter, though, and it gives you the choice to either take advantage of its extensive scene modes, or to wrestle with the exposure settings yo...

The G1X is a unique camera. It has fewer pixels on a larger sensor than any other compact, a combination that serious photographers have longed for. Canon has taken a bold step away from the pixel race and selling-by-numbers - good! The relatively short z...
Small size, large sensor, Touchscreen, Builtin WiFi
High price, No viewfinder
The premium compact camera market is an interesting place to be right now. This seems to be a genuinely decent piece of kit which I can see a lot of photographers being tempted by, especially those who are loyal to the Canon brand. By keeping the same se...
Google is holding a competition that could see your Pixel photos gracing millions of screens. Nikon's 100th birthday party continues worldwide as a distributor in Italy organized a one-of-a-kind feat: assembling the world's largest 'human camera' from ov...
