Canon G1X review

[@iggytse]

I have owned a Canon G1X since new. I mainly used it at bodybuilding shows. Needed 2 batteries to last a day. Auto focus was slow. But the picture quality was great. I’ve had photos from it published in magazines, newspapers and tv. But I was forced to downgrade to a G3X with a 1 inch sensor as in video mode you don’t get manual control. Then eventually the main tool is now an iPhone 12 Pro Max if I get to shoot from the front row.

[@Shmyrk]

Dude. The quality of...everything...is incredible. Keep it up!

[@SergioMusel]

Thanks a lot, will do my best!🙏

[@TRISTRAMY]

Thanks for the video, I was looking for exactly the same thing, a car camera. After watching your video i bought a G1X, managed to find a mint one, I am absolutely blown away with the quality of the images, they are so pleasing, haven't touched my X-T5 since picking it up. I think it may become more than just a car camera.

[@SergioMusel]

I'm glad you found my video inspiring! Enjoy your car cam🙌🏼

[@StevenBrooks346]

I've owned a G1X for 10 years. It's still my go to low light camera. 👍🏻

[@davidchui4743]

I picked one up on eBay for 100 bucks after watching your video, and it actually blows my RX100 M5 out of the water and gives my X100S a run for the money. Might be the best 100 bucks I've ever spent lol... and I'm not afraid of taking it out in the rain or knocking it around. The fully articulating screen is actually super dope, allowing for creative compositions previously not possible. I don't even know which camera to take on a trip anymore haha.

[@SergioMusel]

Since I got mine, I saw a rise in price as well, good ones sell sometime for over $200🤔 It is a great bang for the buck, the only better one is probably the G1X Mark III, but that's too much money for me to spend on a camera to keep in the car 😅

[@Sebousebos]

Hello Sergio. My G1X lens has a small dust spot in exactly the same place as yours. I watched your live hack here but I don't know how you removed the very first piece before reaching the screws underneath. Should it be pulled by levering it with a spatula or should it be unscrewed (this seems difficult). THANKS !

[@SergioMusel]

Hi, should be pulled by levering. You can see at 8:57 the openings on the sides, try picking in that areas with a toothpick or something similar

[@Sebousebos]

Your are super kind … really o_O thank you so much. Keep up your super vidéo. I like your “flow”

[@SergioMusel]

Old post, I know, but a great one! I bought G11s in London the day they came out. A few years later, picked up a G1X secondhand. I thought I had outgrown it (now have an RX100 Mk VII) but I haven't. It still is great for web photos, portraits, and anything else if it's the handy one (like when I'm shooting video with the Sony). Well done.

[@SergioMusel]

It's amazing how it managed to hold up to these days🙌

[@frankcameratalk]

Love my G1X camera, the style, the full metal body and photos quality.

[@thestarisblinkblink]

Just found your channel, I’m curious about my first camera this g1x bought it when i was grade 7, but still don’t know how to deal with it now. Your review is good and the picture really nice. Never thought that this old one can take pictures like that.

[@SergioMusel]

Thanks🙌🏼 Yeah, it’s still a capable camera, I keep it in the car all the time, now no shot can be missed (even sometimes it’s kind of dangerous to drive and take pictures😅)

Great video! And your photographs are amazing!

Cheers, great to see people loving what I do🙏🏼

[@dennisng4627]

AV, ❤️ your style & the gorgeous still images. I used & abused my G10 for a long time. The images & color I get from it are sharp & beautiful. Unfortunately, the lens motor is jammed. The GX1 looks promising in the future. Thank you for posting. 👍🏼✌🏼

[@SergioMusel]

Always welcome, glad you liked it! 😉

[@MB57]

Adding this to my p&s lineup which includes canon sx40hs & s100.

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

G1X what a nice clock. 😍

[@SergioMusel]

I literally found it out by accident while filming 😅😂 I have now a clock idea for IKEA👌

[@lifeofangela]

still use this camera and for vlogging too and i works for me

[@lifeofangela]

even the focus is abit bad it works and the stabilitation is great for 100bucks u cant beat it

[@ThorReyes]

Hi, nice video, I have this camera can you please create a tutorial on how I can turn this into a streaming cam. thanks.

[@SergioMusel]

Thanks😁 Unfortunately, I have no idea how to make it a streaming cam, it has both HDMI and USB, so just try the camlink or something similar👍

[@yurypisar347]

Very nice pictures you’ve taken with this camerap maan. Nice review!

[@SergioMusel]

Thanks a ton!👍

[@johncvelasco]

Loooove your shots. You got a good eye

Thanks!

[@tylerbenner]

Still love my old G1X

[@SergioMusel]

Me too✌️

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

I loved my g1x and i used it until the screen died from high altitude :(

[@SergioMusel]

Yeah, cameras don't live forever 🥲

[@OlieWheeler]

Brought my parents one of these... only because their 2004 flip phones didn't take photos anymore lol

[@SergioMusel]

It's great we can find some use for these cams even now 😂

[@slavakhudyakov3807]

Hey, mate, is it was some russian rangefinder popping in in some moment there? :) G1X seems quirky and cool )

[@SergioMusel]

Thanks!🙏 Yep, Soviet piece there 🪗

[@StaffViet2009]

Uh, good work bring back good old 2012 time ;) tell me if this video is really from 2012? :D

[@SergioMusel]

Thanks🤗

[@scottthompson5263]

AV - Do you think this camera would be good for taking images of indoor NHL hockey games? Thanks!

[@SergioMusel]

I'm afraid for indoor sports it would be too slow

@@SergioMusel How about if I only took "still" photos when there was a break in play, not action?

is it okay as a first camera to use, i want to do street photography? i found a price for this camera and it is 100€ 🫡😊

[@SergioMusel]

It is a point and shoot after all, so it is designed to be used intuitively, I think you won't have a problem. Street photography is gonna be OK but keep in mind the slower aperture on these - so all is fine as long as you shoot in sufficient light, so don't expect to get great results for night stuff

[@artless_z]

@@SergioMusel Yeah i know, that makes me think about be ready to shoot 🤔, im not going to use this camera at night just when i could find the right light for these. Thanks for comment 💫
