Canon G1 X First Impression
After trading in Canon G11 for Canon G1 X my expectations were a bit high. I have read about slow focusing, which was the case for G11 anyway. Macro capabilities were significantly reduced. Well, other features were so promising - I gave it a chance.
The following is my first impressions.
Above: Ottawa River on a sunny afternoon. ISO 100, f5.6, 1/320, 15.1 mm (full wide).
The photo taken RAW, resized to 640 pix and saved as JPG in DPP, contrast +1, saturation +1, sharpness +4.
Above: 100% crop from the very center of the previous photo.
Above: same sunny afternoon. ISO 100, f5.8, 1/800, 60.4 mm (full zoom in).
The photo taken RAW, resized to 640 pix and saved as JPG in DPP, saturation +1, sharpness +6.
And again, 100% crops, above and below. The droplets of water are kind of impressing.
Overall impression - confusion. The strength is reportedly lower noise at high ISO. We'll see.
