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

Great image quality with accurate colors, Sharp screen that flips up 180-degrees, Excellent touchscreen sensitivity with multitouch
Too big and heavy, Unreliable autofocusing, Barebones smartphone app
The G1 X Mark II improves on the image quality and autofocus speed of its predecessor and adds in modern necessities such as a touchscreen, NFC and Wi-Fi, but Canon forgot to use its talents to reduce the camera's size, weight and price...
Strong image quality; Solid build; Addition of handgrip welcome; Wifi and NFC functionality
Removal of viewfinder will disappoint some; High list price
If you're looking at the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II as a direct comparison to its predecessor, there's certainly no denying the fact that it's a marked improvement.Not only is the image processing improved, but the new lens means that issues with foc...
