The editors didn't like
No viewfinder
Fixed screen rather than tilting/variangle
F/1.8 aperture only at the widest focal length
Mediocre manual focusing
No hotshoe for external accessories
Video quality is middling
Images are surprisingly soft at the 100mm end of the zoom range. Even at f11 in bright sunlight the edges lack sharpness. And there is a tendency to over saturation of bright colours. Focus is a tad sluggish. Video quality is just OK
Its performance and connectivity implemenation don't impress
Relatively long zoom lens, wide aperture, excellent 1" sensor, touch screen works well for focus, More background blur than the 1" sensor competition
No EVF, LCD tilts up but not down. RAW not available in auto mode
The Canon PowerShot G1X was a somewhat rocky start in the high end compact camera space, but with the PowerShot G7X, they've created something modern and compelling. Image quality rivals the dominant RX100 family and Canon has a few features that might sw...
Small, portable size, You'll want to carry this camera with you everywhere you can, Nice control rings, WiFi transferrng is very simple,
Needs more control dials, Doesn't feel like a G series camera, We wish Canon took the sensor from the G1X Mk II and put it in this camera, Too expensive

Poor battery life, Slow continuous shooting and shot-to-shot speeds with Raw images, Focusing can be inconsistent, Manual focus has low quality preview, limited magnification, and requires a lot of dial-spinning, No 24p video option, Menu operation can be
With a time-tested 1" BSI-CMOS sensor and an impressive 24-100mm F1.8-2.8 lens, the PowerShot G7 X produces excellent quality photos. Although the ergonomics won't suit everyone and battery life isn't as good as some competitors, the G7X is well suited to...

The G7 X has a high-speed lens with the widest range that sets it apart from the RX100 series. If the 24-70mm lens on the RX100 III is enough though the Sony is the better specified of the two, but then that's reflected in the steeper price. Although it w...
Compact bod, Excellent image qualit, Customizable front dia, Touch-screen controls and focus selectio, Very fas, accurate autofocus

1-inch image sensor. Wide aperture zoom lens. Tilting touch-screen display. Speedy focus system. Wi-Fi with NFC. Raw support.
Pricey. Lacks hot shoe and EVF option. Burst rate slows when shooting Raw
