Compact Power with the Canon G1X Digital Camera

Canon’s award-winning PowerShot line of digital cameras are great choices for those looking for an entry-level digital camera that isn’t too bulky or complicated to use. With the introduction of the PowerShot G1X, Canon brought the power of an SLR digital camera to a compact digital camera. You can find both new and used Canon G1X cameras and accessories on eBay.

Although this camera is part of Canon’s entry-level PowerShot camera range, it is not an entry-level digital camera. The camera features a large CMOS sensor which captures very sharp images. It also allows users to print photos in a large format without any problems. The Canon G1X is a real alternative to a full-size SLR camera and is intended for users wanting to combine the image quality of SLR cameras and the compact size of regular digital cameras.
