Best for
A historically notable compact - the 1.5-inch sensor was dramatically larger than typical compacts of the era, giving notably better image quality. A heavy camera for a compact (534g), and the 28-112mm zoom range is limiting, but for photographers who specifically wanted DSLR-like image quality in a fixed-lens camera the G1 X was attractive.
Frequently asked questions
How does the 1.5-inch sensor compare to APS-C or full-frame?
1.5-inch is between 1-inch and APS-C - larger than typical compacts (better image quality, shallower DOF) but smaller than APS-C. Gives noticeably better low-light performance than 1/2.3" or 1/1.7" compacts.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
