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.

Very pleased with delivery and, more importantly, the excellent little camera. Thanks.

With the demise of the small-sensor digicam market, Canon has turned its attention to developing its G-series PowerShots into the kinds of cameras more people require when they look for an alternative picture-taking tool to their smartphones.

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

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.

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...

After all, between dual-lens smartphones and compact system cameras, we're already spoiled for choice when it comes to small, powerful snappers.

We can't deny that the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III is a powerful tool in a tiny body. The fact that it's got a large APS-C sensor as well as a Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a fast image processor, weather sealing capabilities, and more makes it an impressive camera you'd probably consider investing in.

With a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor outfitted in a sleek; ultra-lightweight compact body; the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III is a great little tool that gives you beautiful; crisp images and good quality videos.

Other than the fact that it costs more than you'd probably be willing to pay for a compact all-in-one, its aperture range of f/2.8 to f/5.6 and zoom range of 24-72mm are not impressive; The close-focusing distance is also limited at 10cm so forget macro shots; The battery life is disappointing.

Canon has somehow shoehorned an APS-C-sized sensor into its flagship compact camera, but it's come at a cost...

APS-C sensor and image quality; Pocket-sized; weather-sealed body; DSLR-level photographic controls

Limited zoom range; f/2.8-5.6 maximum aperture; 200-shot battery life
