The Canon PowerShot G1 X extends Canon’s impressive PowerShot range and presents a large 14.3 megapixel CMOS sensor, a powerful DIGIC 5 processor and an impressive ISO range of 100-12,800. With these technologies combined, the G1 X ensures outstanding image quality and minimal noise for both stills and Full HD 1080p movie recording.

The G1 X takes on a similar ergonomic design of Canon’s G series cameras with extensive manual controls and a fixed 4x optical zoom lens (35mm equivalent 28mm – 112mm) with 4 stop Intelligent IS (Image Stabilisation). The versatile G1 X is equipped with an optical viewfinder and a bright 3.0” vari-angle (920k) LCD screen that allows you to take creative shots from a variety of unique angles.

The G1X is designed for the enthusiast that needs the spec and image quality of an SLR but with the physical benefits of a small, lightweight compact camera.

Large 14.3 MP Canon CMOS, DIGIC 5, HS System

The large sensor also allows photographers to shoot with greater control over depth of field.
