The focal length has also gone a notch higher with 24-120mm equivalent giving a 5x optical zoom. The other improvement that is evident is the maximum aperture range going a stop lower to f/2.0 at the widest end and f/3.9 at the telephoto end. The G1X Mark II comes with a 12.8MP CMOS sensor paired with the DIGIC 6 image processor, which is an improvement over the G1X which has the DIGIC 5 processor. Just like the original G1X, the G1X Mark II comes with a 1.5-inch sensor which is just 20 percent smaller than the APS-C sensor which is seen in Canon DSLRs. One of the most impressive features of the Canon PowerShot G1X Mark II is its sensor size. Although the camera is not really pocketable in the traditional sense of the word. A flip and tilt screen as seen on the G1X Mark II helps in shave off some thickness. This is a departure from the fully articulating LCD screen we had seen with the G1X. The 3-inch LCD screen can flip up by 180 degrees and tilt in the front by 45 degrees.

The directional pad is surrounded by a button to switch to Manual Focus mode and focus point adjustment buttons on top and display and menu buttons below On the rear side you have a 3-inch 1040k-dot touch sensitive LCD screen which can tilt and flip. The buttons protrude just the right amount, thereby giving a good feedback. A central directional pad surrounded by a rotatory dial, which is surrounded by four buttons (two on top and two below).

The ring closer to the camera body rotates with a distinct clicking sound, whereas the lens towards the edge is more smooth in its operation. The magnesium alloy front portion of the G1X Mark II is neatly complemented by the metallic rings around lens element.
We would have liked to see a heftier grip. The palm grip has a textured rubber finish which is replicated on the dedicated thumb rest on the rear side, ensuring good grip. Another major difference is the palm grip - while the G1X had one with a control dial in the top region, the G1X Mark II the palm grip is relatively less chunky and you do not have any control dial. It has an AF LED at around the same spot as the G1X, but lacks the provision for an optical viewfinder. The G1X Mark II is relatively more compact vis-a-vis the G1X. For starters, the optical viewfinder is done away with, which was one differentiating aspect of the PowerShot G1X. Visually speaking, the G1X Mark II is a departure from the original G1X, which influenced the PowerShot G15/G16's design too. Canon PowerShot G1X Mark II has a sturdy magnesium alloy body
