Editor's Review
Canon's answer to the mirrorless wave took most by surprise. Rather than espouse the interchangeable lens camera like Nikon, Samsung, Sony, and Panasonic, Canon built the G1 X. The body is a bit bigger than the G12 that came before it, but the sensor inside is a new beast that competes with its micro 4/3 competitors. Photos at high ISOs are admirably clean, and a bevy of external controls (and a viewfinder!) ensure that advanced photographers will feel right at home. Reviews have noticed poor macro performance and slow autofocus, however, so its not all good news. And at an initial asking price of $799 the G12's fixed 4x zoom and boxy build is a hard thing to swallow.

Canon G1 X Comments & Questions (write your own!)
Rod (04/01/2012)
I just want to add why is the Fuji x10 not listed, this the category it belongs in more so than the g1x with $800 price and large sensor more like a 4/3s sensor though some csc's do sport aps-c censors they compete in mirrorless not advanced compact. Do you want to add the NEX-7 to advanced compact, probably not nor should the g1x, it and the x100 are really in a league of their own.

You're completely right, I've switched it to Advanced Compact. The problem we have with the G1X is, although it has a larger sensor, in every other way it behaves like an advanced compact. The differentiating factor is being able to switch lenses. With mirrorless cameras you're buying into a system, not just a camera. Perhaps mirrorless isn't the best moniker anymore, many are calling them Interchangeable Lens Compacts (ILCs).

Where's your proof (Stan Fischler — 03/11/2012)
Who is the editor who supposedly gave these cameras their grade? Does he have a name, because none is posted. As a matter of fact, all your editors reviews are direct copies, and I know from where. I advise you to post your SOURCE, and be ready to defend each one. The person you copied these grades from, is ready to file suite, over copyright infringement. If these cameras were tested and graded as you claim, be ready to supply aforementioned Proof, or delete it from your page
AT ONCE. WE TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY!!

Mr. Fischler,
I'm the current editor of the website and I'm happy to address any concerns you have. As you've noted, we haven't formally "reviewed" the camera (note the pre-release grade) but we consistently update our results based on reading others' reviews. As for your outright accusation of copyright infringement, I take offense. I've researched each of these cameras myself and write each blurb. Care to share YOUR source that's copying our work?
