Excellent product, the best quality.

Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II (as well as Canon EOS 5DMIII, including those with L-fixes) do not represent WOW value at the level of in-camera JPEG.
These fotiki for RAW and their subsequent processing (including creative and professional).
I think this was done on purpose for at least two reasons:
1. A professional can quickly send an in-camera JPEG to the customer via any communication channel (including unprotected), and if the frame (plot) is commercially interesting, then he will receive money for providing a high-quality RAW image, which is stored by the author.
2. It is necessary to discourage the desire of money housewives (and others like them) to plunge into other than their own business in order to get a masterpiece, without having either in their heads or in their hearts for this.
Automatic modes and the use of a stabilizer in the camera are mainly for non-professional use, or for use in extreme sports (including boxing), and not for the production of masterpieces by housewives.

Pros

Made in Japan (for those who understand this says it all). "Analogues" of other firms are not Japanese. In all reviews they write that it is heavy and at the same time "forget" about photo + video shooting (including FullHD) in the corresponding BB mode (including "underwater") in the original box (the box is also Made in Japan) . And for boxing, Canon usually offers weights. Therefore, this camera is not just so heavy . Boxing, by the way, allows you to shoot not only under water, but in any extreme: rain + mud + wind + snow + . I have such a set of G7 + box has been serving regularly for more than 7 years. G12 + box and G15 + box also serve flawlessly, because all this Canon = Made in Japan. In fact, this pair (photo camera + box) has no analogues in terms of capabilities and quality. And now Canon G can fully work (including in the box) also remotely (contactless) with WiFi control. Competitors, uh.

Cons

It is pointless to look for them, because there are no real competitors. Therefore, even the presence of flaws will not turn the target buyer away from the purchase. Cameras Canon Made in Japan - this is primarily for the target buyer, and only then for the mass (more often at the end of sales).
