The last major manufacturer of photographic equipment, has not offered the market its mirrorless system with interchangeable lenses, the company is Canon. Many fans of the Japanese manufacturer of products has long haunted by the question - when did this happen? Today, Canon introduced a product that, in a sense, we can assume the answer to this question.
So, I saw the light of a compact camera with replaceable optics PowerShot G1 X. The range of the company she will stand next to the model G12, which had previously belonged to the title of the biggest "Soap» Canon. A key advantage of G1 X is the image sensor size 1.5 inches (18.7 x 14 mm) 14.3 megapixel resolution. The sensor is made of CMOS technology and the area is approximately equal to the sensor format 4 / 3, which takes advantage of the camera company Olympus .
It is assumed that the large size of the sensor will get a better image than other compact cameras. In particular, this means less noise and less depth of field, allowing separate objects from the background. The maximum value of sensitivity is equal to ISO 12800, which is useful when shooting in low light conditions.
The camera features a Canon, covering a range of focal lengths equivalent to 28-112 mm with a maximum aperture of F / 2,8-F / 5,8. You can shoot in RAW format with 14-bit data representation. The device is compatible with such amenities as a flash Speedlite, Macro Twin Lite and Macro Ring Light. There are functions for shooting HDR and high-definition video format Full HD 1080p. Camera Canon PowerShot G1 X has a three-inch swivel screen.
