Canon powershot g1 x mark ii photos
The SX700 HS will slip easily into your pocket while the G1 X Mark II won’t. The SX700 HS falls into the consumer point and shoot category with 1 stop exposure steps and no RAW file capability. You can think of the G1 X Mark II as almost the equivalent of an APS-C DSLR in a smaller package with 1/3 stop exposure steps and the ability to shoot in RAW mode. Up to 4 shots at 8.5 shots/sec (in High-Speed Burst HQ) With AF: for each shot: 3.0 shots/sec (in P mode)ģ.1 shots/sec (in P mode) (AF fixed on first shot) Specifications Comparisonĥ.2 shots/sec (in P mode) (AF fixed on first shot) The LCD of the Mark II now flips up and down, rather than swinging out to the side as it did on the original G1 X. The optical viewfinder of the original G1 X has been lost, but this makes the Mark II significantly smaller.
It also adds WiFi with NFC, dual control rings around the lens, and touch screen capability.

Both cameras have built-in WiFi capability and can shoot HD movies, though the G1 X Mark II is limited to 30 fps in 1080 HD mode while the SX700 HS can shoot 1080 HD at 60 fps.Ĭompared to the original G1 X, the G1 X Mark II has a faster lens with a wider zoom range and closer focusing plus better AF performance. The G1 X Mark II can store images as both JPEG and RAW files, while the SX700 HS only shoots JPEGs. Other differences include an articulated LCD on the G1 X Mark II that tilts up and down, whereas the SX700 HS has a fixed LCD screen. The G1 X Mark II has a short zoom range, fast 24-120mm f/2.0-3.9 lens (35mm equivalent), whereas the SX700 HS has a relatively slow, wide zoom range, 25-750mm f/3.2-6.9 lens (35mm equivalent).
CANON POWERSHOT G1 X MARK II PHOTOS ISO
This means the SX700 HS pixels are much smaller than those of the G1 X Mark II, and that means they would be expected to produce noisier images at higher ISO settings. On the other hand, the SX700 HS has a 16.1MP, 1/2.3" CMOS sensor that measures about 6.2 × 4.6mm. Canon’s APS-C sensors measure around 22.3 × 14.9mm (3:2 aspect ratio).
It’s a 12.8MP, 1.5" CMOS sensor, which means it measures about 18.7 × 14mm (4:3 aspect ratio). The G1 X Mark II has a sensor that is almost the same size as that found in Canon’s APS DSLRs. Though both cameras are fixed lens, “pocketable” designs, in reality they are pretty different cameras. Since I had them both on loan at the same time, I thought it would be interesting to compare them and the images I shot with them side by side. The PowerShot G1 X Mark II and PowerShot SX700 HS are two of Canon’s newest compact digital cameras.
