At ISO400, the G1 X offers 2EV extra exposure room than the G12.

Also, when you push the ISO setting higher, the G1 X sensor dynamic range is surprisingly. But pushing a bit further my analszis of these data, I found that the G12 is performing a better dynamic range at its lower ISO setting.

(see full G1 X test results at ) Canon Powershot G1 X vs Powershot G12īut… I have spotted a score which is a bit of a deception to me : the dynamic range is about the same (11.8 EV for the G1 X and 11.2EV for the G12) when we could legitimately have expected better scores on the newly designed camera. This better senstivity, combined with DIGIC 5 processor power and refined noise reduction algorythm will undoubtedly lead to a huge improvement of image quality at highest ISO settings on the G1 X over the G12. The low-light ISO score is the area where the G1 X makes the biggest progress : ISO644 when the G12 was measured at ISO161 : 2 full EV better. The global performance indicator, the DxOMark Score of 47 points on the G12 seems quite modest in comparison to the 60 points of the G1 X. As a result of this surface difference, performance is substantially improved.
Its pixel pitch of 4.16 microns is twice bigger than the 2.03 micron of the G12. Both cameras are very near : same user interface, same 3″ / 921,000 dots swivel screen, but when G12 sensor is a small 7.5×5.6mm (10 megapixels), the G1 X sensor is a much bigger 18.7 x 14mm sensible area. Since the Canon G1 X has been announced, we keep on comparing it to the G12. How does this new sensor behaves ? Let’s find that out thanks to the review of the Canon G1 X sensor, just posted by our partners at D. Canon replies with the talent it can show sometimes, unveiling the G1 X, a compact camera based on an hybrid sensor size : slightly bigger than the 4:3 (Olympus Pen, Panasonic Lumix G) and a bit smaller than APS-C sensors. It is obvious that Canon wanted to offer EOS DSLR users a high-quality compact digital camera as many competitors are coming with hybride mirrorless cameras improving image quality in a pretty compact form factor and as newcomers take the lead (Fujifilm X100…). The Canon G1 X is a very attractive compact camera with a CMOS sensor which size is in between Micro 4:3 and APS-C sensors, a nicely designed 4x 28-112mm zoom lens, Full HD video recording and a user interface that reminds us all of the EOS DLSR and that the G12 also offers. We announced it here and previewed it there.
As we were expecting a Powershot G13 or G14, as we were anxiously waiting for canon to unveil the EOS 5D Mark III, Canon came with something brand new on the premium compact camera market : the Powershot G1 X. This was Canon’s early 2012 surprise announcement.
