Canon's PowerShot G1 X Mark III camera is the successor to the company's G1 X Mark II, and features big upgrades over it. This new model also happens to be Canon's first point-and-shoot camera to have a large APS-C sensor, while still keeping the overall size and weight very pocket-friendly.

Weather-resistant body; Compact and lightweight; Dual Pixel AF works well; Good dynamic range; Fully articulating touchscreen

High price; Weak battery life; Macros are a bit soft; Intrusive noise reduction at high ISOs; No 4K video or microphone input

The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III is a camera that leaves me with very mixed feelings. It puts an APS-C sensor and zoom lens into a form factor we haven't seen before-one that's pocketable-and both the lens and sensor are quite good.

Big, APS-C image sensor; Compact body; Dual Pixel AF; EVF; Vari-angle touch LCD; Dust and moisture resistant

Expensive; Short, narrow aperture zoom lens; Disappointing battery life; Eye sensor active with LCD away from body; Video limited to 1080p

Advanced bridge cameras such as the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III ($1,299) can make great travel companions, because they have large image sensors and high-quality optical-zoom lenses.

Compact and lightweight; Very good for travel; Offers many scene modes; Excellent in low light and challenging lighting; Responsive swiveling touch screen

Lacks 4K video recording; Only 3x optical zoom; Slightly less versatile than other high-end bridge cameras; Very pricey for its class

Class-leading image quality; Excellent control layout and handling; Robust weather-resistant construction

Lens is a little limited in terms of creative potential; Relatively poor battery life; No 4K video recording

At first glance, the new Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III appears to be either a not-quite-pocketable compact camera or an extremely svelte mirrorless model with a built-in zoom lens. And if you squint your eyes, it even resembles a miniature DSLR.

Smartphones have captured the camera market a lot, yet for enthusiasts, only a camera can do the job. Canon recently announced PowerShot G1 XMark III, it is a high-end compact camera with a 24MP APS-C sized sensor, Dual Pixel autofocus, and a 24-72mm equivalent F2.8-5.6 zoom lens.

The Canon G1X Mark III is a unique camera, squeezing a large APSC sensor - the same found in the EOS 80D and EOS M5 models - into a relatively compact weatherproof body with a 3x optical zoom, built-in viewfinder, fully-articulated touchscreen, plenty of manual control and excellent wireless...

I ordered this camera a few days before departing on a long out of the country trip. Should have given myself more time to learn the equipment because this is a fine camera with many features. The package arrived on time and in good condition.
