Before the original Sony RX100 appeared on the scene in 2012, there was another premium compact camera that housed a large sensor, the Canon G1 X. Today the series inaugurates the third generation G-series model, which comes after a number of lower-end models (G3 X, G5 X, G7 X and G9 X) that use a slightly smaller 1-inch sensor, just like the RX100 line-up.
While not a lot has changed on the video side (both cameras record in 1080p with the small difference that the mark III version can go up to 60fps), the new camera inherits much of the technology seen on the latest EOS M mirrorless cameras including a new sensor and AF system. Let’s see how they compare by looking at the ten main differences below!
