Canon has plumped for a 15–45mm f/2.8-5.6 optic which produces the 35 mm equivalent of 24–72 mm. It’s even possible to waken the camera and transfer images to a phone when it’s out of reach, perhaps when it’s your bag after a shoot.Īs it’s a compact camera, the G1 X III has a fixed (ie not interchangeable) lens.

There’s also 5-axis Advanced Dynamic IS in video mode.Īs in other recent Canon cameras, the G1 X Mark III has Wi-Fi, Dynamic NFC and Bluetooth connectivity built-in for easy pairing and image sharing with a smartphone. There’s also a 4-stop Image Stabilisation (IS) system which should help with producing sharp images in low light when shutter speeds fall.Ĭanon is still convinced that nobody wants or needs 4K video so the maximum video resolution available is Full-HD (1920×1080) at 59.94, 50, 29.97, 25 or 23.98fps (frames per second).

In the G1 X Mark III it’s claimed to achieve focus in 0.09 seconds. That means that there’s phase detection focusing in Live View and video mode, just as you get with Canon’s recent DSLRs and mirrorless cameras like the EOS M6. This is coupled with a DIGIC 7 processor which enables a sensitivity (ISO) range of 100 – 25,600.įor the first time in a compact camera, Canon has given the G1 X Mark III Dual Pixel CMOS AF (autofocus). Even better news is that Canon has also managed to make the PowerShot G1 X Mark III 16% smaller than the Mark II and included both a viewfinder and a zoom lens.Ĭanon has given the G1 X III a 24.2Mp sensor which is thought to be the same or certainly very similar to the one in the Canon 80D. However, whereas its predecessor has a 1.5 type (18.7 mm x 14.0 mm) sensor, the Mark III has an APS-C format device which measures 22.3 x 14.9mm, the same as in Canon DSLRs like the Canon 80D. The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III is a compact camera and the replacement to the PowerShot G1 X Mark II. What is the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III?
