Canon G1 X Satoshi

Our friends at Popular Photography got themselves a brand-new Canon G1 X, a super high-performance compact camera that, according to their tough tests, can compete with compact interchangeable-lens cameras like the 2011 Camera of the Year winner, the Sony NEX-7. It scored an Extremely High rating in image quality at low ISO, and retained acceptable image quality all the way up to ISO 6400. Plus, it clocks in at only $800. Check out their full test results here.
