The Competition
While the Fujifilm FinePix X10 has a large 2/3in sensor, the Canon PowerShot G1 X’s sensor is far larger, helping it to produce better images, particularly as the ISO sensitivity increases. Fujifilm’s FinePix X100 is a closer match, but with a fixed 35mm equivalent lens it may not be to everyone’s taste.
Really, the G1 X occupies a unique place in the market and will probably find itself competing more with the scores of compact system cameras. I would expect it to be a good alternative to micro four thirds cameras such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3, but it can’t really match the quality of the Sony NEX-7 and its 24-million-pixel resolution.
