Canon G1X Mark II
The G1X Mk II interface is generally pleasant and well designed. Even if the possibilities of parameterization are vast, one is not drowned under the menus and sub-menus as it is often the case elsewhere (Sony RX, Panasonic Lumix G, Nikon SLR …). The 7.7 cm and 1040,000 px touchscreen, borrowed from the EOS 70D, is a great help in choosing the collimator, navigating menus, and is overall very pleasant to handle, although sometimes a not sensitive from a tactile point of view and having a tendency to pierce the whites. On the other hand, it is impossible to say as much of its orientation mechanism. As the Chinese market demands, the engineers absolutely wanted it to be adjustable + 180 ° for selfies. In addition, it can tilt backward at -45 °. These two requirements have led to a kinematics of the most complex, the perceived fragility uncomfortable, especially since the connection plies are clearly visible and in the open air.
