In every underwater scenario I encountered, the PowerShot G1 X Mark III lived up to its impressive specifications.

The shrimp image, shot at ISO 640, had no perceptible digital noise, which is commonly noticeable in such higher-ISO images captured by compacts with much smaller sensors. In the case of the fish school image, I had originally composed the shot to include the rocky habitat, but the camera’s high-megapixel files allowed me to heavily crop the image to focus on the yawning catfish while still retaining excellent resolution. When post-processing the resulting images, I found the PowerShot G1 X Mark III’s RAW files to have recorded an amazing amount of information that is not typical of a compact camera. But the PowerShot G1 X Mark III did a fantastic job of faithfully capturing the different shades of tapering colours in the animal’s patterned markings, the texture of the coral polyps, and even the minute details in the eye. For lighting, instead of flash, I used continuous light sources, which usually results in a “softer” image.
These beautiful little shrimps are only a few centimetres in length, so you need to attach a macro wet lens to allow you to get close enough to fill the frame.
