Despite being over 10 years old, the Canon G1X Mark II is still a good camera, capable of producing high quality images. It has a 1.5-inch, 13 megapixel sensor and many advanced features making it a good value because of it's affordable price.

To help you see if it's worth it for you, I composed a list of all the articles on the Canon G1X Mark II posted to the CanonCameraGeek site. It's my favorite take-anywhere camera and I use it a lot, so perhaps that's why I've written so much about it.
