About the Canon PowerShot G1 X Compact Camera

The Canon PowerShot G1 X is a high-end compact camera that packs a large 1.5-inch CMOS sensor, much bigger than those in typical point-and-shoots. This allows it to capture images with greater detail, better low-light performance and more control over depth of field. The camera features a 28-112mm equivalent zoom lens with a bright f/2.8-5.8 aperture, a 3-inch vari-angle LCD screen and an optical viewfinder. It offers full manual controls, RAW shooting and Full HD 1080p video. Ideal for enthusiasts who want DSLR-like image quality without the bulk of interchangeable lenses.
