I suspect the only difference is a difference in compression algorithm. See my old posts about Olympus vs. Zuiko Digital ED mm F Zuiko Digital ED 60mm F2.

Lossless compression is lossless It seems that some companies are better at writing their lossless algorithms than others. I'm certain that others can think of other things. So smaller is always better, assuming that the compression is lossless.

If you aren't shooting in RAW mode, we would suggest doing so and then comparing sizes. The G9 consistently has files sizes that are two to five times the file size of the G1X.
Also, any thought on maximizing the macro abilities of the G1X. I realize that it is not a great macro camera, but I would like to at least get the most out of it. Those are quality one, and of couse you can buy the Canon one or any cheaper alternative you can find. Good luck. Excellent idea, I was saving money to buy a body to fit my 11 Nikkor lenses in order to utilize my macro lenses and bellows, but a cheap close up filter will get me by for a bit.
The red bulls eye gets smaller, the black rings narrower. The lab reported that the camera operated much more slowly at ISO settings above My hunch is that's noise reduction overhead, which you should be able to avoid by shooting Raw. That's getting the horse before the cart, where it should be. And it should give you a clue to my shooting experience. I had two other Canons here for review with the PowerShot G9, but it was very hard to pry my hands off the G9 to work with the other two.
The only solution was to get through the Canon G9 review as soon as possible so I could give the other two the attention they deserved. Sometimes I just needed a pocketable PowerShot, so I opted for one of the others.
But when I could carry the Canon G9, I did. Build quality is something you really appreciate when you use a camera, but something you don't always pick up on at the store.
It took me a few times around the block with the G9 to appreciate its quick startup that big image stabilized lens comes out like it owns the world and the snappy shutter.
I complained about the zoom lever, but it didn't get in the way of composing my shots. Sure, it could be better, but it isn't a problem. So I get out whatever camera I have with me and take pictures through the window.
It's a lot of fun and certainly a distraction from turbulence, tight seating and airplane food. We flew about 30 feet off the ground and the G9 got some lovely shots of the Finger Lakes and the leaves turning color. To cut through the atmosphere without using a filter, I fooled around with the Vivid photo effect. But even with that, these shots are really too flat to be gallery shots. They do, however, lend themselves spectacularly to the kind of manipulations Julieanne discusses in her book.
Here's one of Pennsylvania that started life as a Raw file. I'm fond of shooting, and did take a few with the G9, but primarily I stuck to a aspect ratio. Because I was enamored of the 3. I didn't take many movies, but when I did, I was stuck with The Canon G9 can shoot 1, x movies at 15 frames per second which is a good enough frame rate.
And you can tap into the 4x digital zoom, too. California from the air. Evening with the sun to the left you knew that, didn't you? But interval recording at one or two second intervals does make sense and it's nice to see it included on the G9. My biggest problem shooting with the G9 was the Up arrow key. My thumb kept slipping down low enough to accidentally activate it, which pops up the Manual Focus option. That could explain why some of my shots are soft, but so could the FlexiZone focusing, which I left on the center of the image.
I wasn't always using the focusing system I thought I had chosen. Playback options allow you to magnify the image up to 10x, a great way to check focus. You can also display a histogram to check exposure. And Canon's nine-thumbnail index display with Jump control is also available.
Editing options allow you to use My Colors to highlight parts of the image in color, Rotate the image, assign a category with My Category, add a Sound Memo, run a Slide Show, perform Red-eye Correction, and Resize the image. You can zoom up to 4x digital zoom only. Click to download AVI file. Image Quality. And it packs Nevertheless, I was still able to print credible lettersize, borderless prints from a Kodak with just three pigments after running those ISO 1, images through Noiseware Pro.
What's credible? You don't see the noise at normal viewing distances. You do see good color and detail, however. What's a normal viewing distance? For a lettersized print, it's arm's length framed and hung on the wall. If you can print a credible 8x10 with ISO 1, you're doing something no color film emulsion could ever do.
With the High ISO Scene mode, the camera combines adjacent pixels to render a smaller file size with less noise, a venerable approach calling pixel binning.
These 1, x 1, images have good color but noticeably less detail than the 4, x 3, large JPEGs the G9 produces. Shots taken in overcast conditions really looked nice, but sunlit shots struck me as oversaturated with bright highlights. I was surprised, however, to have to tone down even some of my overcast portraits about 15 units less saturation to get green grass to stop fluorescing.
You can see the problem in our pumpkin picture. That image was taken on a rainy day and the orange just glows unnaturally. If you look at the full resolution image you can see the orange blooming into the background at the top left. If I'd been aware of it while I was shooting, I could have slipped into the Custom Color option and toned down the Saturation, although the controls are rather crude and this really should be in the main Menu list.
There was also some chromatic aberration at wide-angle, as our Test Image crop shows. Corner sharpeness was better than usual, though, with the Canon G9 producing very sharp shots. To put the Canon G9's image quality in context, though, it ranks among the best digicams we've used.
I wouldn't trade the 6x optical zoom to a 3x zoom to get less chromatic aberration or less optical distortion. And saturation can be dealt with by shooting Raw or using a Custom Color setting. These issues represent design tradeoffs, not defects. To see a more detailed analysis on the Canon G9's image quality, visit the Optics and Exposure tabs above or below. The return of Raw format to the G-Series by itself makes the G9 a far more interesting option than its immediate predecessor.
The large LCD just seals the deal. Fans of earlier G-Series cameras will have to content themselves with the knowledge that, while the LCD isn't articulating, it does have a wide-angle of view.
But anyone not just G-Series fans looking for a compact camera with real manual control will find a lot to like about the G9. The Creative Shot and Hybrid Auto is also likely to find favour with such an audience. Using the Canon PowerShot G9 X's inbuilt Wi-Fi is quick and easy, and gives you a work around for the fact that, unlike the G7 X, the G9 X does not have a tilting or articulating screen which you can use for self-portraits and the like.
Talking of the screen, it's nice and responsive, but if you're of the mindset that buttons are better than it will probably take some convincing that the G9 X is for you as almost all of the operation takes place via the touchscreen - with some options not available via any other means. Image quality is great - as expected - but the overall experience suffers a little in comparison with the G7 X as the lens has a wider overall aperture range.
If therefore you find yourself often shooting in low light situations, then the G7 X may be a better option. For the moment at least, you can actually pick up the G7 X for slightly less than the G9 X. The Canon PowerShot G9 X is more appealing if you're looking for something extremely small, but otherwise, until the price drops, again it might be the G7 X which wins out The Leica D-Lux Typ is a new premium compact camera that features a large Micro Four Thirds sensor, 4K video recording, fast mm lens and a class-leading electronic viewfinder, all in a camera that you can fit in a jacket pocket.
