Motion

Thanks to the cinematic 24p frame rate, video shot with the G1 X lacked the smoothness of 60p competitors. Thankfully trailing isn't too bad, and there's barely any unsightly digital artifacting. Only a bit of interference is noticeable in gradient shadows, and other than that the image is clean. More on how CamcorderInfo tests motion.

Video Sharpness

The G1 X records video with fairly poor sharpness compared to the top performers in this test. However the picture is sharper than the G12, and sharper in fact than many close competitors, including the Nikon P7100. We recorded an average of 500 lw/ph horizontally and 650 lw/ph vertically in our test. More on how CamcorderInfo tests video sharpness.
