The only problem I have with this camera is that the internal mic is low quality and there is no input for an external one.
Judy ShepherdLens good.Did not like the crude screen operation
MR B W BIDDISCOMBEBought the G1X Ii just over two years ago and have been very happy with performance and features. Picked it up to use a week ago and when I moved the reticulate do screen to a horizontal position, the camera shut down, leaving the lense extended out of the body. I cannot believe that this camera has only lasted two years. I have had canon cameras for nearly 50 years now but it seems that manufacturing standards or design have slipped. Maybe it's time I tried another brand ! Very disappointed.
TritonIt is a good quality camera, but the controls are fiddly and not at all intuitive. I bought it as a smaller alternative to my Canon EOS7D, and I suppose I expected some commonality between them, but they are so different. It produces good images, but the lack of a viewfinder and those fiddly controls mean that it's a problem to use it in cold weather, bright sunshine or on anything other than full auto mode.
