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

AF ocassionally struggles in low light, Bulky, Expensive
