Question: Can anyone tell about how much the G1X weighs?  Can I carry it in my pocket. Thanks
Document: At this size, it doesn't get in the way at all, and I have no need or desire to ever want to try to cram it into a pocket of any kind. I've long stopped trying to carry electronic devices in pockets ever since I got the Galaxy Note 3, and much prefer using quick-release clips for my smartphone, quick-draw slings for cameras, and now top-loading bags.Ever since I have experienced touchscreen shooting on smartphones, I've become addicted, and the G1X Mark II has this feature.
Got mine in the mail today. From what I can tell this is a really solidly built camera. IT's hefty and definitely would not fit in any of my pockets except maybe a coat side pocket (I have my S95 for that though)..Can't wait to get out and shoot around.
Why I Bought ItI&#8217;m going on a 3-week trek across France, Switzerland and Italy later this summer where I hope to only bring one carry-on bag. All of my camera kits are just too big/valuable and I wanted something compact and versatile. Must haves for me were a lens wider than 28mm, a big sensor and ease of use.I really thought about bringing my EOS-M with the 11-22mm lens (which I had to import - thanks Canon USA!...
I couldnt tell a difference.- Price- Picture on screen can be very different than the picture that comes out when uploaded to a computer. This was definitely very frustrating.Overall, very sturdy camera with a nice size and feel to it. It has much more functionality than the G1x and a much better user interface. This is definitely a worthy upgrade to the G1x. Whether it is worth an extra $350? That remains to be seen.
I do like the bounceable flash. The lens barrel bayonet mount is a bit hokey and doesn't hold much. Thankfully the most used filter, the ND, is built in and can be switched on or off in 3 clicks.Feels very good in the hands. Well made, tough.Kind of a travel cam. A little large to carry around all the time. I just use the iphone for quick shots now. Missing the X100's portability at times, but in general, for the way I shoot, I prefer the G1x ii.
I had this camera about a week and so far not taken that much with it so will add to these comments about later after a 2 week trip in the South West. This camera is a Point & Shoot so is not the cameras I will be relaying on, but its still a serious camera.As a pro photographer I'm not going into the camera specs or comparisons - you can get specs elsewhere for the pixel peepers as well as detailed reviews here. I am just going to give you my impressions of "feel & quality".Coming from a G11 this thing is much heavier and is not a "pants pocket" camera.
Could this be the BEST DIGITAL CAMERA (in its class) ever made? As a regular SLR user, I'm actually stunned by the performance of Canon's G1X Mark II point & shoot camera.I'm not about to list all the SPECS here as that can be found with ease on Amazon or via Canon's own website. I currently use a Canon 70D, a Canon T5i and a Canon S110 (I always need a easy to carry simple point & shoot and the S110 has done that well).G1X MARK II PROS:Made In Japan qualitySpeed, speed and speed (for a point & shoot-it's exceptional)Overall performance/Handles like a BMWMenu ease and quick navigationLow light ability; even in the pure darkLens-A major highlight is this quality lensImage quality equal to or better than a mid-range SLRBuild quality-it's really evident in quality materials, fit and feelG1X MARK II CONS:Sub-Par grip (you can upgrade but why didn't Canon just use the better grip in the first place???
I have a G1X, and this is much better! It should not be called G1X Mark II, because it is really like a different camera. I much prefer the Mark II. I am not going to get into details, as all the technical reviews of this camera praised it's performance and user function. No regrets what so ever! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
But if you're looking at it as a lightweight backup to your DSLR, I think the Sony RX100 II is a better choice. Granted it has a slower lens and a smaller sensor but it pretty much matches APS-C DSLR imaging performance (and the G1X Mark II's) at low and moderate ISOs in a much smaller package. Not much mention it's in the neighborhood of $150 cheaper right now.Don't get me wrong, the G1X Mark II is not a terrible camera at all. It's just not the RX100 killer everybody thought it would be.
I have mixed feelings about the G1X Mark II. As a camera, it performs wonderfully with excellent image quality and much improved performance over its predecessor, especially with respect to autofocus performance. However, its size and heft and the fact that a competitor offers a camera that is much more compact and has about 90% of the imaging chops that this camera does leads me to say that I would recommend it with some reservations.One thing that will most certainly not disappoint you is the great image quality. It makes a great alternative for folks considering a Canon Rebel but aren't necessarily ready to spend any additional money on lenses.
Answer: Canon specs say "1.2 lbs".  It's heavy for its size, but that's because it's a very solid camera.  It's not really a "pocket camera", except maybe in a coat packet.  Put it in your pants pocket and you've got 1.2 lbs swinging around "sensitive territory".  I really like my G1x 2.  Great camera.  The latest issue of Consumer Reports rates it #1.
