Best Screen Protector For The Canon G1X Mark III

My go-to screen protector for all my cameras has always been Expert Shield. I’ve used a few other brands like ITG which is sometimes cheaper and is good too, but I’ve personally used the lifetime warranty with Expert Shield and they are very friendly and easy to deal with so I stick with their products.

Best Canon G1X III Batteries

Canon Battery Pack NB-13L

The Official Canon batteries are always great to have since you usually get the best life out of them compared to the aftermarket brands. Sometimes, I’ll stick with one battery that comes with the camera and then buy one or two extra aftermarket batteries as a backup.

Wasabi Battery Pack + Charger NB-13L

Wasabi has been around for a long time and they make the best aftermarket battery. They even use Japanese power cells which are very reliable with very good ratings. I always go with Wasabi for my backup batteries.

Lens Accessories & UV Filters

I recommend always using a UV filter on a fixed lens camera, and the G1X III does not make this easy as you have to use a UV filter adapter. Currently, there are not any available for the G1X III. I’ll update you as they come online.

Camera Straps & Bags

There are a million camera straps you can buy on Amazon now, but there are only a few worth looking at. I use leather straps by HardGraft, Luigi’s Straps, and some homemade stuff which I’ll also list, but for some nice Amazon straps check out these brands.

Peak Design Camera Straps

Peak Design straps are nice because they have a quick-release mechanism so you can take the strap off quickly if you decide to shoot on a tripod or switch over to a wrist strap.

Cleaning Supplies

(6 Pack) MagicFiber® Premium Microfiber Cleaning Cloths

It’s always important to have a few microfiber cleaning cloths to clean the lens and UV filter without having to risk scratching them. Sure you can use your T-Shirt, but I still like to use a fresh MicoFiber cloth now and then to give my camera a good cleaning.

Rocket Air Small

Rocket Airs are great for cleaning off your sensor, but since you can’t get at the G1X III’s sensor, they still work great at cleaning lenses or UV filters. I own several of these and just keep them everywhere because I’m always needing them. I have a few different sizes and have found the small Rocket Air does get the job done.

Best Accessories For The Canon G1X Mark III Conclusions

The Canon G1X III is a great little DLSR substitute for traveling or just putting around town, but it’s also a fantastic little APS-C camera in its own right. Throw some nice accessories on this camera, like a screen protector and leather half case and it will last for years.
