Another plus is the built-in lens cover, so there are no worries about losing the cap!Įqually as important are the not so obvious internal changes. One ring lets you focus while the other changes camera parameters, depending on your shooting mode. The Mark II has a faster 5x zoom versus the 4x glass of the G1 X. One of the biggest external changes is right on the front of the camera. Put simply, the G1 X Mark II is built and feels like a brick.
The Mark II is just slightly smaller overall than the original G1 X (measuring 4.6 x 2.0 x 2.6 inches), tipping the scales at 19.5 ounces with battery and card. It’s all-black and boxy, but just like Canon’s ELPH series, the styling is pretty timeless. Moving beyond these first impressions, the Mark II has the same basic design themes as the classic G-series such as the current G16 as well the mirrorless EOS M. We didn’t find these changes to be onerous and in fact, we like the raised thumb rest on the back of the Mark II. Instead of a vari-angle LCD on the back, now it’s tiltable. Features and designĪt first glance, the G1 X Mark II looks similar to the still available predecessor, but zero in and you’ll notice the porthole for the viewfinder is gone and there’s no jog dial on the front. Hearing the howls of negative feedback such as incredibly pokey performance, Canon unveiled the Mark II with a new chip, processor, lens, design, and LCD mechanism. And for good reason – the original G1 X was a real disappointment. With its newest enthusiast zoom digicam, the PowerShot G1 X Mark II ($800), Canon practically went back to the drawing board.
