EVERY DAY CARRY SEARCH PT I - Canon G1X

- A lot of shade gets thrown on these old large sensor compacts from the last decade, but I know in one of these old classics, is a camera worth holding on to well into the future. Is this the one?
Don't get rid of the G1X. There is nothing else out there like it as far as I'm concerned........ My favourite thing about it is the clear direct optical viewfinder. The 16x digital zoom works very well. I love the Canon colours for scenic photography. I love the heft and ergonomics of the camera. The sensor size and optics are just right for my tastes. The G1X is reliable and perfect for my scenic photography. Yes, I have another camera that I use for everything else which is the Olympus EM-10 Mark II. It's perfect for everything else.
Totally agree
But the om 10 has no mic jack. I believe. Not perfect
I have this camera. Update from old Lumix LX2 and I still keep G1X just because I don't see any competition for it. Only the menu could be better. I love this Canon.
This is a tempting breakdown, Alex!
I am literally doing exactly what you are trying to do in this video right now. My main camera that I enjoy for my style of photography is a GFX 50R and I am currently trying to find a bridge camera to bring around for small occasions that's capable enough to capture small moments when I dont have my big boy (my GFX is running adapted full frame lenses to keep the cost and size down as much as possible). I love the manual focus and how involved I feel in taking pictures with that brute of a camera but It's just not the best solution for everything, especially with how big and cumbersome it is.
Exactly. I'm currently testing out the Fujifilm X-T20 and absolutely loving it! I'll have a video of all my thoughts soon!
@@WoodenAxle My own journey has taken me to much smaller systems for the more flexible zoom range and built in flash & stabilization, currently have a Lumix LX100 II that I haven't had much time to shoot yet and am going to test out a Nikon P7100 (CCD sensor) and a Fuji X20 very soon. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on older fuji APC!
You sound rich 💵
@@poobs2361 I had an older Fuji X10 that I enjoyed quite a bit, but the resolution was horrible with the small sensor.
I bought one brand new back in 2013 and used it extensively for bodybuilding shows. I didn’t even realise it had an nd filter till I saw your video. I had multiple photos from it get published in national magazines, newspapers and tv. But it was a terrible video camera, only shoots in auto mode. I eventually had to downgrade to a Canon G3X to get a hybrid camera. The G3X lasted a few years until the iPhone 12 Pro Max took over for good enough photos published quickly to social media. The G3X is only used at events where I don’t have access to the front near the stage.
That’s awesome!
NOOO I beg you take this video down. This was supposed to be a "secret". Seriously, I have been buying these for like $200 the past couple of years. We don't want people finding out how good they are and then jacking up the prices...
Ha! I think you’re safe… I don’t have that kinda pull!
In the past, Fuji used to make terrific little point and shoots. I have a Fuji XF1 and love it. Doesn’t meet your criteria, so prob not for you. I like both the photos and videos it makes. It works for me. But my point is, I think there are many people, like you, like me, lwho prefer using a camera to a phone, and would be happy to carry a small, sophisticated, jewel of a point and shoot in addition to a phone if someone would (are you listening Fuji??) would just make one.
YES!!! I’ve been looking long enough to know that ALL the boxes won’t get checked, I’m just hoping to find the right amount of checked vs unchecked. Yes, @fujifilm, please make a modern pocketable camera that makes great photos and videos!!!
Just got one for $180.
It sounds like your reselling and hoarding them. You don't sound much better
I have the same exact criteria as you. Looking for a compact-ish older digital camera with physical manual controls, a viewfinder, and ability to shoot good video in 24fps. What would be an alternative to the G1X in that regard?
I've not found one that is as small, although I'm testing the Fujifilm X-T20 with the 27mm pancake and LOVING IT!!! I'll have a full review soon.
@@WoodenAxle Nice! That's out of my budget tbh. Haven't found anything like the G1X in that regard. G10 or G11 are perfect but their video capabilities leave me wanting more!
Try to look at Lumix gx series
@@siddj08or TZ series
I shot with this around 2014. The image quality in good light was everything!! Unfortunately I threw it away when I started filming. Later I bought back a second-hand Canon G1X, but strangely enough it was not quite the quality as the first model, but still very good. I film with the GH5II but still take photos with the G1X.
Maybe they changed the firmware?
You got some really great frames from that trip bro!!!
I made sure to make the same frames with the GFX just in case!
I have a love hate relationship with this camera. It does not have a great dynamic range, so high contrast scenes are difficult. You have to watch your light. It is not great in low light, so I bought a canon ex430 strobe. It takes amazing photos using a flash. I shoot using the sunny 16 rule. For general photography I use iso 400, ss 400 and adjust the aperture as needed. This is kind of the wheel house for this camera.
Sony HX9V. Check it out. I had one it was amazing. The HXV line up continued to the 30-400 V's I believe. They got better along the way. But got bigger. I wanted to keep thing small and compact.
Sure thing!
What wrist strap is that? Will be looking good on my G1X too
I was thinking the same! Don’t have a g1x but love the strap though 😂
I actually enjoyed those photos. I think that is a pretty good camera.
Thanks! And yes, it is a pretty good camera.
g1x or g1x markii im thinking of buying one but not sure g1x is cheaper than mark ii but is it worth to extra money
This was my 2nd camera after the a520 powershot. I got it for £13.
Buy the G1X Mark iii. I did and it beats the Ricoh GR3 with the zoom alone.
I’ll give it a try!
Have you tried the LX100 II?
I had the Leica version several years back and loved it. Not sure why I got rid of it, maybe the size? My needs definitely have changed since then so I should give it a try again. Thanks, great recommendation!
@@WoodenAxle definitely. bigger sensor, better video, smaller size, good macro, good lens, touch screen and some useful photo settings.
Did you edit these photos?
No, however it’s important to note that this was early October in Florida… so the light was near perfect most of the day.
@@WoodenAxle Thanks

Panasonic lumix lx100
Thanks!
