Overview

With many features typically found in an interchangeable lens camera and performance and image quality to match, Canon's PowerShot G1 X Mark III camera establishes itself as the new flagship in the premium G-Series lineup. The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III Digital Camera breaks new ground as the first Canon compact digital camera to feature a large 24.2 Megapixel APS-C sensor for detailed images and Dual Pixel CMOS AF for fast autofocus. A wealth of advanced features including a built-in electronic viewfinder, a 3.0-inch Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD with Touch and Drag AF and built-in Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth technology offer impressive performance in virtually any situation. Whatever your need, the PowerShot G1 X Mark III camera delivers outstanding results.

Don't let the PowerShot G1 X Mark III camera's size deceive you. This all-in-one, compact camera features a large 24.2 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor, the same sensor found in many interchangeable lens cameras. This sensor allows the PowerShot G1 X Mark III to shoot breathtaking, nuanced images with wide dynamic range, amazing detail and low noise, even at high ISOs. It enables significant cropping and large prints of still images while delivering phenomenal movie files perfect for sharing or projecting.

The PowerShot G1 X Mark III camera's results are in large part thanks to its 3x optical zoom lens. With a range of 24-72mm, advanced Optical Image Stabilization and an aperture range of f/2.8 (W) - f/5.6 (T), the lens works in concert with the camera's CMOS sensor and DIGIC 7 Image Processor to deliver incredibly stunning results. The Dual Sensing IS system helps provide steady images by compensating for body movement and camera shake for up to 4 stops of correction, while the wide maximum aperture helps deliver dramatic blur effects and enables better shooting in dark areas.

The PowerShot G1 X Mark III marks Canon's first PowerShot camera to feature the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, which offers incredibly fast and precise autofocus that stays locked onto your subject, even if your subject is in motion, for both photos and videos. Equipped with phase-detection, this advanced Canon technology uses 24.2 million sensors to quickly determine how far away an object is and where the lens should focus, and is available while using the electronic viewfinder and when using Live View on the rear screen.

The DIGIC 7 Image Processor powers the PowerShot G1 X Mark III camera to produce high image quality and fast operation, even in in low light. The camera features a wide ISO range of 100-25600 for still images and videos and can help keep results sharp and detailed in virtually any lighting situation. Powerful all around, the PowerShot G1 X Mark III camera can produce beautiful images even where light is limited.

The built-in high-resolution electronic viewfinder features approximately 2,360,000 dots so you can see high amounts of detail in what you're capturing even on bright, sunny days. Its Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology offers high-contrast, colorful images that can help properly display the scene you want to capture. Touch and Drag AF lets you use the rear screen as a touchpad while you're looking through the viewfinder so you can choose what to focus on with a tap of your finger.

The PowerShot G1 X Mark III camera features a Vari-angle Touchscreen 3.0-inch ClearView LCD II monitor for capturing creative shots at a variety of angles and composing and reviewing photos and movies with ease. The touch sensitive controls make it easy to select and adjust focus, menu and quick control settings with a touch of a finger. The 1.04 million dot LCD monitor is constructed to help minimize reflections and treated with a smudge-resistant coating for a bright, clear and easily viewable display.

The PowerShot G1 X Mark III camera is designed to make connecting to Wi-Fi fast and easy. It can exchange data with other Wi-Fi compatible Canon cameras, and transfer files directly to a compatible smart device using the Canon Camera Connect app. Once files are transferred, you can share and upload directly to various web services like CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, Facebook® and YouTube as well as print directly to compatible wireless Canon printers. A Remote Live View function is also included to help you remotely record video, and features remote control start and stop capabilities when using a compatible smart device.

Bluetooth pairing helps you connect the camera to compatible smart devices using the free Canon Camera Connect app. The Bluetooth® capability uses a low-energy connection that can be set to connect automatically upon discovery of the two devices and helps preserve battery life while maintaining a wireless connection. It also sends continuously updated GPS location data from your phone, letting you geotag your shots. You can also establish a direct Wi-Fi connection to use your phone as a viewfinder, as well as check and download previously captured photos and videos.

To help you capture that perfect shot or multiple shots of a fast-moving subject, the PowerShot G1 X Mark III camera is equipped with a DIGIC 7 Image Processor that allows the camera to perform quickly and shoot up to 7.0 frames per second (up to 9.0 fps with One Shot AF). A new shutter release button is optimized for the PowerShot G1 X Mark III's compact body and the camera is easy to hold for continuous shooting. Whether you're capturing an athlete scoring a goal or a bird soaring through the sky, the PowerShot G1 X Mark III is engineered to capture just the right moment.

The PowerShot G1 X Mark III camera is built to be both dust- and water-resistant for reliable operation in almost any number of conditions. With a combination of precise construction and sealing materials around the buttons, lens barrel, screen and battery compartment cover, the PowerShot G1 X Mark III is remarkably well-sealed. This robust construction helps keep sand, dust, dirt and water from getting into the camera, providing trustworthy performance whether you're shooting in the rain or at the beach.

The PowerShot G1 X Mark III camera is designed to make panoramic photography simple yet intriguing. Whether capturing vertical or horizontal pictures, it's easy to switch to the dedicated Panoramic Shot Mode and start shooting by pushing down the shutter button and panning the camera. Captured images are automatically combined in the camera for dramatic, expressive panoramas that will delight and impress.

Incredibly realistic 1080p Full HD video is recorded at 60 fps with stereo sound in convenient MP4 format. This format features a small file size that lets you fit more on a single memory card and makes downloading and sharing quick and easy. Manual movie mode lets you adjust settings and focus via the touch panel LCD screen. You can do this even while using the viewfinder to express your vision your way however you shoot - all from a powerfully compact camera.

A definite challenger to traditional SLR
First, to set the bar, I'm a Canon guy for the last 45 years so my review isn't considering competitor products. I travel extensively and have been hauling my 5D (Mkii and then Mkiii), typically with 2-3+ lenses, and am accustomed to near flawless results. However, prior to an Iceland trip this past February with extensive hiking, snowshoeing, and skiing, decided to gamble and trust my memories to the G1X Mkiii. Over the past few years I've bought and immediately retired a variety of other Canon point and shoots (G1X Mkii, G3X, G5X, G7X and more) which didn't perform well enough as my primary camera to even make it to my backpack. Note that the G3X lens is incredible. The G1X Mkiii is as close to perfection as a 'point and shoot' can be when compared to an SLR. The standard modes (auto, P, Av, etc) and other creative modes are robust and the Scene modes are incredibly powerful yielding professional results - they are not gimmick modes. The camera performed for over 3,000 shots in extreme cold and wet even after living in my backpack and coat pocket for weeks. Downsides are few in my opinion but there are always give and takes. The lens has an ok range but the aperture range is limiting. Probably as a result of the incredible EVF, LCD and sensor, the G1X Mkiii eats batteries. Adding to the pain, the battery door is difficult to open in some weather conditions but more importantly, does not latch automatically when closed which is a significant design flaw that could quickly ruin an outing or trip in dusty or wet environments. While considered compact with a lot of power under it's hood, it wouldn't be carried in a shirt or pant pocket. In conclusion, the G1X Mkiii is not a similar solution with a new model number. The camera is unprecedented, worth it's price, and is truly an alternative to a high end SLR for typical travel needs.

who is this camera for?
i bought this, excited about the aps c in a PowerShot camera. But when i got it, i realize that unlike the G7x mark 2, the g1x can not fit in the pocket. in fact, with the viewfinder added, it is quite bulky. So if it can not fit in the pocket anyway, why not just get the M6 mirrorless (which by the way, seems to be smaller and more comfortable then this camera anyway, and is almost 400 dollars cheaper! Plus, the lens here is not very fast, so with the 1.8-2.8 fast lens on the g1x mark 2, the 1 inch is almost as good in terms of low light and image quality as this aps c anyway. So, who is this camera for? I've no idea. I love canon. best cameras in the world. But this camera I think is a big failure. My guess, they improve G7X mark 3, and frankly phase this G1X out...just no marketplace for it...

They need a much better lens!
F2.8-f5.6. At 70mm is already f5.6! This is only good for landscape and travel photo. I was very disappointed. At this price, as top moddel for G line, this is all I get? On another note, I dropped this at 3 ft high, nothing broke, just a scratch on the lens barrel. To be fair, this comera takes a beating and keep on taking (photos).

The features are amazing
I have enjoyed learning the camera so far

Great Body, and build, horrible lens :(
I bought this as a compact travel. Currently own a direct competitor with same size sensor in a 23mm non zoom body. Let me say, there is NO comparison in the 23mm of the competitor and this Canon... the Canon's lens is not good. Sorry... come out with a faster lens, perhaps single FOV.... this zoom doesn't work, especially at this price.

Feature Rich
I've had the G1x Mk 3 for about 6 months. More than satisfied with the build quality, feature set, and ease of use. And, of course, the images are exceptional given the APS-C sized sensor in this compact body. The only things I would change is a slightly longer lens (24-105mm equiv would be nice) and if the lens were brighter, like f2.8-f4, for example. Other than that, a pleasure to use especially for landscape and street photos.
