With the demise of the small-sensor digicam market, Canon has turned its attention to developing its G-series PowerShots into the kinds of cameras more people require when they look for an alternative picture-taking tool to their smartphones.

Canon Powershot G1 X Mark III Digital Cameras G1XIII review

The Canon Powershot G1 X Mark III has taken the great usability of a Canon DSLR, and the 24mp APS-C CMOS sensor with phase-detection AF built-in, and squished it into a compact camera, whilst maintaining excellent handling and usability.

Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III

The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III is a new premium compact camera that replaces the three-year-old Mark II model. The weather sealed G1 X Mark III has a larger APS-C sensor offering 24 megapixels and a Dual Pixel CMOS AF system that can auto-focus in 0.09 seconds, an ISO range of 100 to 25,600, a 3x...

Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III review

The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III is certainly a big improvement over the undercooked G1 X Mark II. The fact that Canon has managed to engineer a camera this size with a large APS-C sensor is very impressive – and even more impressive is the fact that this is the first APS-C format compact camera to...

Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III review: Can this compact truly replace a DSLR?

With budget compacts more or less killed off by the ever-advancing phone camera, dedicated cameras play a very different role these days. And as not everyone wants to lug around a massive lump, mirrorless and DSLR cameras simply won't suit all photographers all of the time.

Canon G1X Mark III review

What Canon has done with the G1X Mark III is pretty remarkable. Although there are lots of compromises, having an (almost) DSLR in your pocket is pretty damn cool. It would make the ideal travel companion, for somebody who craves all the manual control, RAW format shooting and large sensor image quality that a camera like this brings, without being bogged down with a bulky DSLR. In fact, even the smallest compact system cameras are generally bigger than the G1X Mark III. Of course, you do pay a pretty penny for this miniaturisation, making it unlikely to be the camera of choice for those on a tight budget. In short - this isn’t a camera that lets you abandon your DSLR completely, but it’s a very good backup for shooting on the go.

After all, between dual-lens smartphones and compact system cameras, we're already spoiled for choice when it comes to small, powerful snappers.

Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III review

The G1 X Mark III is an impressively compact camera with a large APS-C sensor and a zoom lens with a versatile focal range. It has tons of direct controls and can produce great image quality, but is expensive and the permanently attached lens has a slow aperture range and hampers an otherwise capable, pocketable camera.
