Decent grip

Bulkier than some of the competition
Actually there is nothing to dislike. In its category and at the price this little camera is close to perfection
Abstract: The Canon PowerShot G9 X and G5 X round out Canon's top-of-the-line G-Series brand. Here's a quick look up close with them.The G9 X resides a step below the excellent PowerShot G7 X but is available in a silver and brown design in addition to the more tra...
Excellent image quality in most types of scenes with 1inch image sensor, Good mix of automatic and manual control shooting options, Maximum aperture of f/1.8 is good for shooting portraits, Having a viewfinder is a great option in this price range, Electr
Optical zoom is limited to 4.2x, Camera is chunky with an oddshaped design, making it tough to fit in a standard pocket, Some control buttons are a bit too small to be used comfortably, Battery life is well below average, Builtin flash unit only can be op
Canon has announced two new 2015 entries to its powerful G-series line of compact point-and-shoot cameras. The Canon PowerShot G5 X boasts a 20.2-megapixel high sensitivity CMOS image sensor mated to the DIGIC 6 image processor as well as 4.2x (24-100mm)...
The G5 X comes fully-stocked with a large 1in sensor, an Electronic Viewfinder, tiltable touchscreen and a versatile lens with a wide aperture. It's durable and well-built so it was impossible to give it anything less than 5 stars for features and build...

The G5 X makes for crowded lineup, but it complements the rest of the G Series perfectly. With the G5 X, Canon now has four distinct—if not entirely different—options for people looking for a dedicated point-and-shoot camera. It's a bold move from the...

Capable autofocus in various lighting conditions, built-in viewfinder and vari-angle screen, fast maximum aperture throughout zoom range, notable upgrade over G16
