Kinda disappointing… but it’s a Canon, so Silver Award anyway? 😉
I actually used to be a big fan of the Canon G1 and then the G5, but this doesn’t seem to have a great sensor and the touch screen is a poor excuse for not having either an optical finder or, better, an EVF. Actually, I think the touch screen is great for video (as an alternative to pulling focus), but this camera does mediocre video — is Canon just trying to attract cell phone users who want some DoF control?
The G1X is supported by CHDK, so hopefully the Mark II will be, and that would be a plus. Then again, I can buy a very full-featured CHDK-supported “lesser” PowerShot for under $100. In sum, it’s been a while since I’ve been excited by any of the G family members, and this is no exception.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
