Review on Wi-Fi Enabled Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II Digital Camera by Park Chong Hyun ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Everything is fine, there are only minor drawbacks.

In general, very satisfied. I specially chose, looked closely . For trips where there is something to shoot, but too lazy to drag something more serious, massive - that's it. In general, a full-fledged replacement for cheap DSLRs - with very good optics. Apparently, the best compact with a zoom in terms of picture quality. Convenient control (although it requires adjustment and getting used to). It is better not to shoot the dynamics - autofocus is common for compacts, i. E. Sufficient for "domestic" filming, but no more. The optics, however, are less sharp than those of the older brother G1x, although this is noticeable only when directly comparing frames taken at the same time in the same place under equal conditions. But focal lengths are fundamentally better (24 mm wide, and 120 long ones are useful). Not a bad macro (I don’t shoot macro, but sometimes what is useful is useful). I found several scratches on the front lens (despite the fact that I handle it carefully, and there were no any extreme situations). Apparently, the protective curtains sometimes touch the glass - over time, fatal marks appear. It does not affect the quality of the picture, but it is unpleasant. The battery should immediately take one more, and preferably two. In its own way - an excellent PHOTO camera. I'm even thinking of buying a second one, because. MK3 is completely different and, at my request, worse! Photo here https://flic. Kr/s/aHsmeSLAdE

Pros
  • 1. Great picture. Natural lifelike colors. Most of the time, nothing needs to be adjusted. 2. Convenient focal lengths, moreover, sharpness at all focal lengths across the entire field. 3. Lack of vignetting (although this is the result of in-camera processing). 4. Ease of management. 5. Compactness.
Cons
  • 1. (the saddest thing) Protective shutters seem to scratch the front lens. 2. After all, the matrix is ​​not the best . the dynamic range is too small (lights are easily knocked out, you need to watch and enter a correction in the minus). 3. Price.
