DPReview has completed their review of the brand new Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III. The is Canon's flagship PowerShot camera with a price tag to match, but is it worth it?
From DPReview:
And yet – I find it hard to imagine myself recommending the G1 X III to anyone in particular. Sony's options are less user-friendly, but offer far more speed and video options. Perhaps most crucially, Canon's own G7 X Mark II offers similar speed, smaller size, better battery life and comparable (if not better) image quality in most situations besides daylight landscapes. Also, it's considerably less expensive.
The PowerShot G1 X III is absolutely capable of fantastic photos, but the compromises made – specifically regarding its lens and battery – hold it back too much for us to recommend it wholeheartedly over a vast number of competitors in the marketplace. Read the full review
It looks like the reviews of this camera have remained consistent. It'll give you great results, but not results that warrant the price tag. If this is a camera you're interested in, wait for the inevitable price-drop or refurbished models on sale, both of which will likely come sooner than later.
