Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II adds faster lens and AF to big-sensor body

Canon has announced the successor for PowerShot G1 X large-sensor compact: the G1 X Mark II. The G1 X II improves upon its predecessor in many ways. It's smaller, features a faster 24-120mm equivalent F2.0-3.9 lens (with closer focusing distances), a 31-point AF system, dual lens rings, a touchscreen LCD that can tilt upward by 180°, and Wi-Fi with NFC. One added trick is that the G1 X II can shoot at 3:2 or 4:3 with the same field-of-view. The catch? No more optical viewfinder (though a $299 XGA EVF is optional). In Europe the G1 X II will be sold with an accessory grip included; US customers can buy an optional accessory grip (GR-DC1A) from Canon for $29.99.

Canon G1 X Mark II Key Specification :

• 13 megapixels
• 1.5″ (18.7 x 14 mm) CMOS Sensor

• Built in Wi-Fi and NFC
• NB-12L lithium-ion battery
• 116 x 74 x 66 mm

It is obvious the S100 come with alot tweak compare to S95. It has more telephoto zoom compare to S95, but also an increase of F stop (S95 had 4.9f and S100 is 5.6f at telephoto zoom). However the S100 is using CMOS sensor which provide better ISO sensitivity and noise reduction compare to S95 that using CCD. Not to mention, it was using the latest DIGIC 5 imaging processor which process faster.

My point of view, yes it was a worth upgrade for those who shoot alot on low light and want a less noise. However do aware there are still more choices in the market hat having the same price range.

Olympus XZ-1

I have this camera before before i upgrade it to E-P3. It is a nice camera with nice equip lens (28-112mm equivalent lens with F1.8-2.5). Has bigger sensor than S100 and S95 however it using CCD sensor. The only let down is movie recording quality. U can check my review here.

Olympus E-PM3

Micro four third sensor that packed into mini and compact body! Not to mention the lens is changeable! Come with fast Auto Focus speed like Olympus e-p3.

Panasonic Lumix LX5

Need me mention this? A well balanced camera with Leica lens equipped (24-90mm with F2.0-3.3).

Canon G12

For more professional usage which come with more features than powershot S series.

Nikon P7100

The improvement version of Nikon previous P7000 that perform better and par with Canon G12.
