1. Not compact anymore with interchangeable lenses, you missed the point.
   Isn’t there a 5 fps mode?

2. Forcing the brain to think it’s small is not the answer.

3. That’s a matter of perspective, vitto. If you handle the Canon EOS 1D X or
   Nikon D4 and then handle the Olympus OM-D, believe me – you’ll think the
   Olympus is small 🙂

4. No memory card problems. I’m primarily an action sports photographer so
   slow cards are not an issue.

5. I believe I used the Canon EOS 7D for this video. That was my main camera
   at the time, although I occasionally use a review camera to make these
   videos.

9. Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. It’s my longest video yet – too long, in
   fact. But I couldn’t figure out how to shorten it any more without
   compromising the content too much. I’m working on a short article to
   accompany it on the site right now. I’ll add a link for the article to the
   description here as soon as it’s done.

10. Hi, is it true that this camera has problem focusing in low light
    situations? I own and love a Canon g10 and I have shoot with very low light
    with no problem, but I am worried this new one won’t work for me in low
    light because of a review I read . Does it work well ender low light? Hope
    you can answer Great review, Thank you

13. Hey John, i’ve just started a photography course using my Canon PowerShot
    G1 X that you recently reviewed. For the course I should really have DSLR
    camera. Is there anything you can recommend for a first timer that will
    carry me through in the long term. Regards Kurtis

16. Hey photo John, great review. Could you comment on how the G1X compares
    with other high end Canon compacts such as S95, SX260, ELPH 500, etc in
    indoor/low light….thank you

17. hey john, nice review. You wouldnt say the X10 has a higher IQ? It shouldnt
    have, of course, but having used both…what do you think? cheers!

22. Great review as usual PhotoJohn… I’m not doubting the G1X ‘s credentials
    but that is one seriously ugly camera, I think I would be too embarrassed
    to bring that out of my bag in public. For sure it has looks only it’s
    mother could love!
