Of course, these are manufacturer-supplied figures and it turns out they only apply to JPEGs. (Note that the G1 X did have a special "High-Speed Burst HQ" scene mode that could manage 4.5 fps for 6 JPEG frames.) With autofocus, you'll still manage 3.0 fps, up from 0.7 fps in the original G1 X. The maximum full-resolution burst rate is now 5.2 frames per second, up from 1.9 fps in the earlier camera. In terms of burst rate, the G1 X Mark II still won't win awards, but it's a lot swifter overall. One of our bugbears with the G1 X was its extremely pedestrian performance. And here, there's a big difference to be had. The new sensor is paired with a DIGIC 6 image processor, upgraded from the DIGIC 5 of the earlier camera.

The lack of change in total resolution, pixel width, and ISO sensitivity - still 100 to 12,800 equivalents - would tend to back up the theory that the actual sensor area is unchanged, and it's merely masked a little tighter. This difference could well be related to the new lens, which we'll come to in a moment.

The 3:2 aspect is said to use the full width of the sensor, and the 4:3 aspect the full height, with both modes offering roughly the same diagonal angle of view. It also offers an alternate 13.1-megapixel, 4:3 aspect mode. The Canon G1 X II now defaults to a more photographer-friendly 3:2 aspect ratio, for a pixel count of 12.8 megapixels. Note that we said "by our math" - Canon rates it somewhat differently, because neither of the two most typical aspect ratios match the masked aspect ratio of the sensor. : Conclusion posted and review finalized! : Field Test: Big and beautiful, but is it better? Price and availabilityĪvailable from April 2014, the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II is priced at around US$800. Localized flare issue when wide open No real net improvement in image quality over predecessor Slow burst mode when shooting RAW files Poor battery life Video quality is so-so (not like Canon DSLRs). Wider, longer, faster lens than predecessor, with good overall optical quality Faster AF performance Closer macro shooting Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC with remote shooting Decent JPEG burst performance Excellent build quality. Overall, though, the Canon G1 X Mark II is a very solid, high-quality, advanced compact camera that's sure to please Canon fans, though it's not a groundbreaking improvement over the first version and is not without its own foibles.
And while omitting the optical viewfinder led to a sleeker design that's more compact, some users will surely miss it, especially since the Mark II is still not pocketable. Autofocus performance has been improved as has macro shooting, but we found no real net improvement in image quality over the original model. Boasting a wider, longer, brighter lens than its predecessor, and a faster DIGIC 6 image processor, Canon aimed to fix some of the trouble spots seen in the original G1 X.
