The Canon PowerShot G1 X is the successor to the popular Canon G12. The G1X has been totally redesigned with a larger body, and packed with a 1.5" sensor, only 20% smaller than ones in the Canon APS-C sensors, the image quality from it is just astounding. It has a flip out 920k dot resolution screen which will help in bright situations, a metal build which makes it feel very solic, and it has a 4x zoom built in lens with a 35mm equivalent of 28-112mm.
The Canon PowerShot G1X's sensor is 14.3 megapixels in resolution, has an ISO range of 100-12,800 and all the manual controls you'd ever want. 4.5 fps continuous shooting will help out those sports shooters, and allows for 14 bit raw shooting.
A great compact camera for the professional photographer, or the enthusiast who wants to play with all the manual settings before moving up to a DSLR, the Canon PowerShot G1 X will not let you down.
