Canon G1X review: piece of junk or dSLR replacement?

Canon G1X review: piece of junk or dSLR replacement? The Canon G1X has been the subject of a lot of talk in the photographic community. For anybody who knows the Canon 'G' series, this is not surprising but, for a first-time Canon buyer looking to make a purchase thanks to this camera, this is welcome news indeed. Now for the bad. What's more, there are several smaller Cleveland metro area chain stores in the Cuyahoga County area, too. 8-5. With the G1X, Canon made the dreams of many come true. My take? For some of the people reading this, the G1X is still the perfect camera . First, the good. Next good point (and the one that Canon was obviously banking on), the sensor performance is good, very good in absolute, not relative terms. Want proof? Go here and see the dramatic difference ! In absolute terms, the G1X can more than holds its own against the current generation of Four Thirds and APS-C sensors, too. As a final good point, the G1X is very well built (metal body with rubber grips) and it features a lot of external buttons, good for on-the-fly setting changes, as well as the ability to shoot in everything from fully automatic to all-manual control, an ability that both casual and serious photographers can truly appreciate. So, if you are reading this hoping for the finding that the G1X can be a dSLR killer, you're out of luck, the G1X has slow AF and could never replace a dSLR as a result of this major shortcoming. Unfortunately, this is not the case as the Canon G1X, a big-sensor Powntown superstore. As for pricing, the G1X sells for $799. Live West of Cleveland? Loomis Camera, located in downtown Elyria, Lorain County, is another place to go for all of your photographic needs. Canon G1X review: piece of junk or dSLR replacement?
