Canon PowerShot G1X Digital Camera Review And Best Price

Canon PowerShot G1X Digital Camera 14.3 MP 4X Optical Zoom

Canon PowerShot G1X is one of a new G-Series Canon compact digital camera which has been released in January 2012. The PowerShot G1X is a new compact camera with a large CMOS sensor, designed to produce DSLR levels of image quality and control in a highly portable metal body. Canon PowerShot G1 X combines EOS sensor technology with DIGIC 5 processing power, a new precision Canon lens and extensive manual control – creating the finest compact camera Canon has ever produced.

Canon PowerShot G1X equipped with 14.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor measuring 18.7mm x 14mm – similar in height to the APS-C sensors used within EOS DSLR models. Featuring the same pixel size and structure as the EOS 600D, and a surface area approximately 6.3 times larger than the sensor in the acclaimed PowerShot G12, it provides DSLR image quality in a body small enough to carry anywhere. Sitting at the core will be the DIGIC 5 processor, seen previously in the likes of the SX40 HS. The result is that you’ll get shooting at up to 6fps at full resolution, Full HD video capture and 14-bit RAW support. According to the leak, Canon has upped the megapixel count of the G1X to 14.3, from the 10 megapixels of the PowerShot G12.
