Best travel canon camera. Traveled from Alaska to Israel, Washington State, Chicago, California, New York, 33,000 ft in the air!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Body, and build, horrible lens :(

I bought this as a compact travel. Currently own a direct competitor with same size sensor in a 23mm non zoom body. Let me say, there is NO comparison in the 23mm of the competitor and this Canon... the Canon's lens is not good. Sorry... come out with a faster lens, perhaps single FOV.... this zoom doesn't work, especially at this price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

They need a much better lens!

F2.8-f5.6. At 70mm is already f5.6! This is only good for landscape and travel photo. I was very disappointed. At this price, as top moddel for G line, this is all I get?
On another note, I dropped this at 3 ft high, nothing broke, just a scratch on the lens barrel. To be fair, this comera takes a beating and keep on taking (photos).

Not as good as my G1X

from San Jose, California.
I have now owned three Canon compact cameras, and too many Canon film cameras to mention. The G5X has a great zoom, and takes wonderful closeups, but the pictures are quite dull-not bright, at all. Perhaps the camera would do better, if I took it off the automatic setting, but I bought a simple camera, so I could use it on automatic. For the first time in my long life, I am thinking of buying a new Camera which is not a Canon. My vast photo archive definitively proves that I am correct, in not liking this camera. I am heartbroken, when I compare my older photos, to the newer ones which I took on this camera. After I bought my G1X, I went online, to see if I was alone in not liking it; I am NOT! Others mention the dull photographs. So sad...

who is this camera for?

i bought this, excited about the aps c in a PowerShot camera. But when i got it, i realize that unlike the G7x mark 2, the g1x can not fit in the pocket. in fact, with the viewfinder added, it is quite bulky. So if it can not fit in the pocket anyway, why not just get the M6 mirrorless (which by the way, seems to be smaller and more comfortable then this camera anyway, and is almost 400 dollars cheaper! Plus, the lens here is not very fast, so with the 1.8-2.8 fast lens on the g1x mark 2, the 1 inch is almost as good in terms of low light and image quality as this aps c anyway. So, who is this camera for? I've no idea. I love canon. best cameras in the world. But this camera I think is a big failure. My guess, they improve G7X mark 3, and frankly phase this G1X out...just no marketplace for it...

I have enjoyed learning the camera so far

No nice photos to share yet it’s a process

Have a G12 and a G7X, and now the G1X, and still do not know how to use any of them correctly. How do I learn the ropes?
