#Canon powershot g1 x mark ii price iso#
Detail is quite good for this ISO sensitively and there's very low noise, even in the shadows. ISO 3200 prints look good up to 8 x 10 inches, though an 11 x 14 inch print would be acceptable for less critical applications. Like ISO 800, noise reduction processing is very good with only minimal reduction in very fine detail. ISO 1600 images make very nice 13 x 19 prints, with lots of fine detail and great color. Noise reduction also does great at eliminating noise, and the effect doesn't appear overly aggressive. Fine detail is great considering ISO 800 is relative high ISO for a compact camera, though the larger sensor gives the G1 X II a noticeable advantage. At this size, prints are starting to match closer with the resolution of the sensor. ISO 800 prints look great at 16 x 20 inches. Overall it makes a good 20 x 30 inch print, with a lot of detail and nice colors. ISO 400 images looking very similar to ISO 100/200 and noise is very minimal, but fine detail is just slightly softer with some noise reduction processing visible in the shadows at this print size. Color reproduction at this ISO also looks very accurate and pleasing to the eye. At this size print, there's a bit of pixelation visible upon close inspection, but at an arm's-length viewing distance or farther, the amount of detail is impressive. ISO 100 and 200 produce good 24 x 36 inch prints despite the relatively humble ~13MP 1.5-inch type sensor. Good 24 x 36 inch prints at ISO 100 and 200 makes a nice 16 x 20 inch print at ISO 800 and even a decent 4 x 6 inch print at ISO 12,800. The E-M10 is notoriously good at high ISO high-contrast detail, and the larger APS-C sensor of the A6000 unsurprisingly performs better than the G1 X II here at higher ISOs. As the ISO rises, the G1 X Mark II struggles a little with very fine detail, but performs better than both its predecessor and the G16, as well as the RX100 II. The RX100 II may not be as contrasty as the G1 X II at base ISO, but the very fine, high-contrast detail here is a little better than from the G1 X II thanks to its higher resolution. At base ISO, the Canon G1 X Mark II is a very good performer for clean, high-contrast detail, displaying crisper detail than the G1 X and G16, though the larger sensor in the A6000, as well as the sharp E-M10 beats it. This lettering allows us to really examine fine, high-contrast detail. Canon G1 X, Canon G16, Olympus E-M10, Sony RX100 II and Sony A6000.ĭetail comparison. The G1X II shows a finer, tighter luminance noise grain pattern which helps hold on to fine detail a little better than the RX100 Mark II, however both struggle with fine detail in the troublesome red and pink fabric swatches.ĭetail: Canon G1 X Mark II vs. The Canon G1 X Mark II is the winner again here at ISO 3200, though not by much.

Clicking any crop will take you to a carrier page where you can click once again to access the full resolution image as delivered straight from the camera. All interchangeable lens cameras in this comparison were shot with our very sharp reference lenses. NOTE: These images are best quality JPEGs straight out of the camera, at default settings including noise reduction and using the camera's actual base ISO (not extended ISO settings). (We generally try to match cameras in these comparisons based on price, given that most of us work to a budget, rather than setting out to buy a given number of megapixels.) These comparisons were somewhat tricky to write, as the cameras vary a great deal in resolution, so bear that in mind as you're reading and drawing your own conclusions. The main exception is the G16, which has a much smaller sensor than the other cameras in this comparison, but it sits right below the G1 X II in Canon's current PowerShot lineup and thus warrants comparison to the G1 X II. All of these models sit at relatively similar price points and/or category in their respective product lineups.
