The PowerShot G1 X Mark II, the new flagship model in Canon’s digital compact camera lineup, brings together the latest Canon technologies to deliver exceptional image quality. It features a fast f/2.0-f/3.9 lens with 24-120 mm (35 mm film equivalent) 5x optical zoom, a large Canon-developed 1.5-inch CMOS sensor,^* and the high-performance DIGIC 6 image processor. With a size approaching that of the APS-C size sensors used in interchangeable-lens cameras, the G1 X Mark II’s image sensor supports high-sensitivity image capture up to ISO 12800 with an expanded dynamic range enabling smooth, natural gradation expression. The PowerShot G1 X Mark II achieves greatly enhanced usability through the inclusion of Dual Control Rings on the lens barrel that allow users to easily change exposure compensation and other parameter settings and make minute adjustments during manual focus. Realizing exceptional extendibility, the G1 X Mark II accommodates the optional EVF-DC1 (sold separately), an external electronic viewfinder equipped with a high-resolution 2.36-million dot LCD that offers approximately 100 percent viewing coverage. Additionally, the camera can be used with a range of accessories for Canon’s EOS series of interchangeable-lens cameras, including flash units and remote switches.
