Proud Owner of G9, G1X and G12.

G9 give up, switch to G1X.

After 2 days, trade in the G1X for G12.

Currently using G12 which I got last 2 days.

Pic Spam.

I like G1X!

But its not compact camera anymore. Ask anyone who have G1X and G12, take a pics of it side by side. its so bulky and the lense, even when turn off still "outside" the body, thus making it space consuming and fragile (for me). I am the kind of guy who dislike hanging my camera on my neck, I just simply put it inside my short/jeans pocket.

I bought it last time because when comparing it at shop, G1X sure sounds very very interesting. I am so excited to try it out, I bought without thinking. Soon, after 1 day, I realize, this camera is not for me. Not that I don't like it, G1X doesn't suits me to be exact.

But, what i regret the most about G1X is the macro mode. G1X lose to G12 when shooting in macro mode. Infact, it may be lose to G9 as well. G1X can not go as near as G12 in macro mode... and I shoot a lot of pics in this mode.

And with the price, I can get brand new Canon EOS 550D / 600D which for sure offer the best picture compared to any of the G series (bigger sensor).

G1X or G12, this is very subjective. I mean, we can not say I am right or wrong, so does you. It totally depends on the user itself. I used to own G1X too, and just like you, i pretty happy with all the feature and all, in fact the size and weight are very comfortable for me too, but like i said before, i might damaging the camera before i learn how to use it well. Besides G12 fits perfectly in all my trousers, jeans, shorts pockets!

G1X or DSLR : Depends. If you really have thick pocket and wallet, you are free to buy either one or both, but if like me, ngam-ngam for 1 month makan only, i will choose the best,such as picture quality, functions and of course the endurance/toughness. Besides, DSLR will not eaten by age, compare to compact. G1X today, after a few months G1Y may come out, replacing the older one. DSLR, you only need to pick what level you are at.

@goldfries

I need extra pocket for that if I were you. Hahaha, but that will cover up the contra.

G12 in pocket : I will keep you wondering about that

I agree with your point there, but once again everything depends on the user. I love G1X as well but my 'shooting environment' doesn't suitable for G1X in term of the safety, that is why I opted to own G12 instead.

G12 and G1X : still a compact camera but bit oversize from average.
G12 = fat compact
G1X = obese compact



the bolts and keyboard pic are testing picture only, wait for it. I will upload more. No time yet.

Why don't you show us what you can do with your G1X then?

Video mode G12 vs G1X = G1X slightly better quality

how if G1X compared to DSLR (Goldfries might have a good opinion about this)

p/s : never go video mode with my G9 and probably will not too with G12.

around RM2,100 - RM2,300.

most probably the sensor.

if you transfer the picture to pc, will the line still there?

Aiseh, I also have no idea.. Never had this problem before but my friend had this problem long time ago, so thats how my opinion came out. BTW my friend using super expensive DSLR camera. So, changing the sensor worth everything.

Maybe can go up to RM500-RM1000.. I really don't know this. Probably, your G11 should take its rest already? How long have you been using it?

Ugh.. My Eyes!!!!
