Pros: Optics that cover 90% of useful focal lengths, comfortable construction and controls

Cons: That to optimize its use it needs the optional viewfinder

Opinion: I often use it instead of the various reflex and mirroless, as an alternative to the valid Olympus stylus 1, the Canon is better for the quality of the sensor and for the optics that start from 24, and just as usable if you associate the optical viewfinder, excellent. It allows you to have quality in a small weight and honestly it is a valid bridge(?) in a segment that lately marks time. Definitely recommended grade 9

Pros: excellent focal range from all-rounder, Af quite fast (on static subjects), very customizable, built-in nd filter, excellent stabilizer that also works on video, compact size with closed lens (fits in your pocket), excellent customizable rings (two on the lens and one rear).

Cons: poor battery life if you use the TS or keep the screen on a lot, lack of GPS and built-in viewfinder, few automatic functions / scenes compared to a compact of which I think shares part of the user

Opinion: I bought it because I wanted something more portable than a DSLR and better than a compact. Since I have it, the SLR has often been at home. The g1x fits quietly in the pocket of a jacket, like a compact, but when you open the files at home, it does not regret too much the SLR (and I'm talking about a 5DMkii with 24-105L). I was thinking then to take the mkIII, but I must say that I did not appreciate the choice of canon to reduce the range to 24-70 eq, a choice that for me does not fit a non-interchangeable lens machine. And so I kept the mkII.

Pros: Perfect for learning to photograph, great behavior with little light.

Cons: GPS and eyepiece integrated, edge sharpness loss, low quality integrated microphone.

Opinion: A basic reflex model is often recommended to start seriously. I consider this compact model a far better choice. The double ring, the ability to take cr2 in full manual mode allows you to get acquainted with the photography principles. The ability to mount an eyepiece on the slide and the reclining screen make it very practical. The corresponding 24-120 zoom, which you can select the precise value, teaches you how to handle focal lengths in a wide radius as it is a full size. All this combined with great photographic quality and compactness make it a great choice for reportage. Thanks to the ability to geolocalize photos through it is very useful to explore and then return to places of interest with "heavy" instrumentation.

Pros: Rings and soft keys, kept at high ISO (for sensor size), good grip.

Cons: Display fully adjustable and optional viewfinder that when attached does not allow the addition of an external flash.

Opinion: Bought by about 1 year. Zoom (24-120) covers focal most often used during travel and for me this is a must. I always carry it with me when I moved to work and I take this opportunity to take pictures during breaks or at play. Backpack with the PC and other equipment to work it fits comfortably. rnDurante use often it goes undetected and is a nice advantage. rn

Pros: excellent quality for this type of machine than my prina PowerShot G5 is really a nice car. inserting a lentefiltro close up x 410 you can do some good macro. rnErgonomica, well balanced and easy to carry.

Cons: screen is not fully steerable ???? rnmancanza control (zoom) pre snap needed especially for those who make macro.rndurata limited battery

Opinion: How many friends I purchased this machine for cervical problems that at times prevents us from carrying around traditional outfit. I'm happy with the purchase I confirms the quality Canon. For me it is a machine easy to use and does not create major problems because they are also a traditionalist in the sense that I do not use filters (maybe I'm wrong to not addentrami these optional) eo settings particolari.rnrnLo swiveling screen, as they prepared for me is "incomprehensible" as with other I purchased over the years - Canon G5, The old and glorious SP 240 (adjustable screen and sub enclosure) and, recently, the D60, the Fullscreen fully adjustable allows me shots that other machines do not fare.rnrnIn synthesis can recommend the acquisto.rn
