Is the Canon PowerShot G1 Still Worth Buying in 2026?

As a result, several affordable, small sensor cameras promising that nostalgic look have popped up and reached virality – but if you’re looking for the most authentic, and even more sustainable option, then you really want to pick up an actual camera from that era. But can the PowerShot G1 keep up when compared to today’s modern retro-digital cameras?
