Pros: Image quality, complete functions, easy-to-use manual controls. 600mm optical equivalent zoom.

Cons: The noise of the machine stabilizer off

Opinion: Great camera with 1 inch sensor that I use when I don't want to carry all the optics and backpack of the APSC REFLEX. Lately I've noticed that I'm only going out with this one, leaving the DSLR at home. Bought with an electronic viewfinder, which is an optional, otherwise genuinely accustomed as I am to looking at the world from the crosshairs and not from the screen, without sight I would not have bought it.

Pros: Dimensions, versatility and quality of optics, tropicalization, control with wifi for click and zoom remotely, ability to screw 67mm optical filters on the lightrail support.

Cons: Weight, price, slow gusts, poor yield at high ISOs.

Opinion: The ideal travel room, the lens equivalent to a 600mm in the maximum extension is really a handyman, from macros to landscapes to portraits, concerts and even photographs to the moon. The composition with the Lcd screen and the practical touch screen to fix the focus point is extremely functional not to regret the lack of a viewfinder. (Among other things available as an expensive optional). Ideal for traveling, only the room, a spare stack and some optical filter, screwable on the support of the petal sunshade either with sunshade mounted or not, enter a medium small purse. The weight is remarkable, better to use one with good workmanship straps and padding. The features are like an entry level reflex, but with an excellent quality optical stabilization. It churns out beautiful full hd videos, and has a tipper display display for selfies and that has proven comfortable for photos with room in high or low position and decently visible even with daylight on a sunny beach. It also has a microphone attachment, headphones and allows you to use your mobile phone as a remote shuttle. Remarkable, especially considering the date on which it came out, the possibility from the room to post on Facebook, which unfortunately for a year and a half no longer works due to changes to the authentication system, and anyway support for sendingna Irista, canon gateway, Google drive, Flickr that are still usable. It starts to feel its age in terms of sensor and digic processor, unlike the other models of the G n X Series Canon has never made a mark ii, which is why after 3 and a half years of use I decided to sell it to switch to a mirrorless. Noise and grit already sustained at 800 ISO, alongside a brand new smartphone disfigured in the night photos but with good light churns out impressive photos and offers advanced features such as hdr with color profiling and raw shots on which you can make the necessary adjustments with the convenient digital photo professional canon downloadable using the serial number of the device. If you are looking for a good travel room, naturalistic and street photography with an exaggerated zoom at the current price of about 800 euros is still worth considering. In fact, even with a quality of images and speeds lower than the mirrorless Apsc system I use now, the fact that I didn't have to change lens and size when Using it made me do a lot more shots with "wow" effect than I did later.

Pros: Focus extension, versatility, portability, material quality, perfect tropicalization

Cons: lack of scope (but can be added as optional - at high price of course), lens brightness with maximum zoom, lack of timelapse

Opinion: My faithful travel companion, this car was a surprise to me. Initially purchased for naturalistic photos and to be able to shoot even from considerable distances, I realized that it worked well in other areas such as portraits and street. To be a bridge in fact has small size compared to most rivals, which allows it to be carried anywhere without too much weight and clutter and also the design is eye-catching. Very good photo quality, not like a full frame or pro machines of course, but considering the one-inch sensor exceeded expectations. Even the videos are of quality and with maximum definition I managed to make some half an hour. There is no possibility to make veritimelapse, there is only a vaguely similar function for shooting stars but it is not much. Personally I consider it fundamental and excellent on a machine like this tropicalization, I happened to use it even in dusty or humid environments but I have never encountered grains or problems in the lens. The optional electronic viewfinder is very useful but also expensive unfortunately. However, I wouldn't do without it as it's very responsive and orientable. The zoom is crazy, in sufficient light conditions you can make good shots even when it is at its best, but when this is poor without tripod is difficult as the brightness of the lens at 25x is already much lower. Apart from that, I have not found any defects and I would definitely recommend it to those who want a real all-rounder to take anywhere without worries and to those who have tired of having many goals and weights to load but do not want to miss any shots.

Pros: 24 600 mm focal versatility, portability, adjustable screen, great video in fhd, build quality great, great additional electronic viewfinder, shooting in RAW, wfi

Cons: Price a little high

Opinion: I use it for more than a year and proceeded to 4000 shots. Mind you the picture quality is good but not at the same level as the EF and EF-s lenses of DSLRs if you zoom the image at 100%. If zoom is great. I use it on trips and hikes, too heavy the 70D with its optics, and is perfect. Very useful adjustable screen and with a great definition even in bright sunlight. Very useful and very nice additional electronic viewfinder; now shoot almost exclusively with laser. I shoot in Raw + JPG average and is very useful on wi-fi to immediately transfer the JPG on your smartphone, and then under network. The build quality is outstanding! Keeps very well the ISO up to 3200 and makes great movies in fhd also thanks to a great stabilizer. Highly recommended for hiking and trekking; travelling light and not lost anyone shot.

Pros: Excellent stabilizer, made to 600mm, focal length, remotely controllable, protection against dust and moisture

Cons: lack of a fixed front sight, a certain weight

Opinion: Bought because most of my trips in the mountains and not, I often run into some animal photo shoot; We are having already had canon compact with big zoom range, but several years ago, lho purchased with a bit of fear; Well I was pleasantly surprised by the performance that this camera has a 600mm focale.rnho also G1xmkII and G7x and I must say that the quality of the normal focal has nothing to fear in comparison to a normal iso sisters; certainly at the high ISO G1mkII is the host but it is also a sensor well diversornIn total a very good camera for use "promiscuous" with a quality that I aspettavornAutofocus normal, but does not excel even sfigurarnOttima usability with the viewfinder detached opzionalernNon I have not tried the video but I do not care much about a camera having a camera dedicatarn

Pros: Size, tascabilità, zoom range available, remotely controllable

Cons: Initial price, optional electronic viewfinder that prevents, at least for now, the use of an external flash or microphone

Opinion: Here is the report made as beta-testers outside on behalf of Canon Italy ... They are among the first owners in Italy of this "gem", after pleasant experience with the PS-G16 and happily I can say that is exceeding all expectations, including those tougher ... The fair size, the noise of the wide range ultrasonic, stabilizer, ND and programs available for night make it a "must have" on the side of the reflex of every photography enthusiast, ideal companion Travel when you do not intend to go out with all their fleet targets. rnOttima WiFi connectivity with smatphone / tablet / PC for a remote control shooting and excursion objective; the only thing that remains to be done manually, at least in faseiniziale, is directing the macchina.rnImportante WiFi connectivity and NFC for sharing and printing just in time their shots. If you do not need the external flash, the use of the EVF improves settledity of the shot, much like that of an SLR or mirrorless. rnAnche within the video behaves very well and, combined with a good external microphone, you have a great tool for shooting with high performance. Important resistance to dust and moisture, making it easy to use in many outdoor environments without the use of additional protections soft or rigid that surely will be developed for use underwater or "tropical." rnComplessivamente a purchase innovative and pioneering which definitely will not regret it ... !!! rnrnConsigliato (in some cases combined with flash or external microphone or electronic viewfinder) for urban panoramas, Action / sports; Puppies / wildlife / animals / nature; Vacation / travel; Landscapes; Ups; Concerts / festivals; Events / weddings / parties; nightlife; Sharing easy; Portraits / families / people.
