Great Little Camera!

I bought this refurbished camera to take on a trip to Europe as I didn’t want to carry my large Canon’s and lens. Overall I was very pleased with the photos. The fact that they’re taken in RAW was a selling point for me since I edit every photo I keep. For the most part I just shot on AUTO, since I didn’t want to have to think about settings while seeing the sites. Overall, I super happy with this purchase! I also bought the leather carrying case which was perfect for travel and in protecting the camera.

A definite challenger to traditional SLR

First, to set the bar, I'm a Canon guy for the last 45 years so my review isn't considering competitor products. I travel extensively and have been hauling my 5D (Mkii and then Mkiii), typically with 2-3+ lenses, and am accustomed to near flawless results. However, prior to an Iceland trip this past February with extensive hiking, snowshoeing, and skiing, decided to gamble and trust my memories to the G1X Mkiii. Over the past few years I've bought and immediately retired a variety of other Canon point and shoots (G1X Mkii, G3X, G5X, G7X and more) which didn't perform well enough as my primary camera to even make it to my backpack. Note that the G3X lens is incredible. The G1X Mkiii is as close to perfection as a 'point and shoot' can be when compared to an SLR. The standard modes (auto, P, Av, etc) and other creative modes are robust and the Scene modes are incredibly powerful yielding professional results - they are not gimmick modes. The camera performed for over 3,000 shots in extreme cold and wet even after living in my backpack and coat pocket for weeks. Downsides are few in my opinion but there are always give and takes. The lens has an ok range but the aperture range is limiting. Probably as a result of the incredible EVF, LCD and sensor, the G1X Mkiii eats batteries. Adding to the pain, the battery door is difficult to open in some weather conditions but more importantly, does not latch automatically when closed which is a significant design flaw that could quickly ruin an outing or trip in dusty or wet environments. While considered compact with a lot of power under it's hood, it wouldn't be carried in a shirt or pant pocket. In conclusion, the G1X Mkiii is not a similar solution with a new model number. The camera is unprecedented, worth it's price, and is truly an alternative to a high end SLR for typical travel needs.

Great

I bought this camera a couple of weeks ago based on the APS C sensor primarily. The reviews claimed a mushy lens and only a 24 to 72mm lens range. I after testing the camera finally found the shooting adjustments. They are listed by numbers such as 5 2 4 0 0. The lower the number for some of the settings the sharper the image. Well you guessed it the above setting is the softer setting set at the factory. A 5 1 1 0 0 setting produces very sharp images. And for the telephoto range there is a teleconverter built in the menu below the digital zoom on off. 2.0 or 1.6. The focal length is now up to 144mm and with the large sensor you can magnify another 8 times in the cropping feature with no noticeable loss of quality. The dynamic range of color tones is incredible. These features need to be emphsized.

Great camera

Having previously owned Canon 5D and G16 cameras for personal use I purchased the G1Xmk3 in April 2019 as a quality step-up from the G16 which the G1Xmk3 fulfills easily. Three years after being introduced I believe the mk3 remains the only pocketable compact-zoom having the APS-C sensor size. The benefits of this sensor show in the superior quality of the pictures that can be be made. Those seeking the best quality in a pocket-zoom should include the mk3 in the short-list, the image quality is fantastic, the build- quality is fantastic, the Canon operating system is (as usual) very user-friendly, making it easy to make beautiful pictures, try it, you may like it :-)

Feature Rich

I've had the G1x Mk 3 for about 6 months. More than satisfied with the build quality, feature set, and ease of use. And, of course, the images are exceptional given the APS-C sized sensor in this compact body. The only things I would change is a slightly longer lens (24-105mm equiv would be nice) and if the lens were brighter, like f2.8-f4, for example. Other than that, a pleasure to use especially for landscape and street photos.

Bought it just before Christmas and, as promised, have enjoyed excellent photographs from the camera. There are improvements I’d like to see; however, its compact size, rugged case, excellent low light pictures, quick focus make it an easy camera to enjoy.
