Canon thought they had the enthusiast photographer section sussed, after all; this is a ‘take anywhere’ camera that has DSLR-like handling and image quality! The sensor is SIX times larger than their very popular G12, for goodness sake!
Well, Canon was wrong!
As far as I am concern, the G1X is just a larger version of the G12! Apart from the large sensor, the auto focus is just as slow...
I believe sales of this glorified point n shoot, like Canon's EOS-M was lackluster!
But that was two years ago!
Canon came back with a vengeance!
