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

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)...
Battery life shorter than a DSLR, LCD and viewfinder could be higher resolution,

Big 1-inch image sensor, Wide aperture zoom lens, Vari-angle touch display, EVF and hot shoe, Quick focus, Wi-Fi with NFC, Raw capture
Expensive, Burst rate slows when shooting Raw, Lacks 4K video support
The Canon PowerShot G5 X is a bulkier twin to the G7 X, adding an EVF, a hot shoe, and a vari-angle display. It's an excellent choice if you want a beefier compact...
The Canon PowerShot G5 X has a great viewfinder and a comfortable shooting design for serious photographers
It can be frustratingly slow, with a short battery life
Sluggish performance and a more limited feature set than similarly priced competitors hold the Canon PowerShot G5 back from being a leading contender among its peers...

The RAW image quality is excellent, surprisingly acceptable up to ISO2500. The Digital Photo Professional 4 RAW converter automatically applies discreet noise reduction which doesn't blur fine detail. The sensor/processor does a good job of keeping detail
Actually there is nothing to dislike. In its category and at the price this little camera is close to perfection
The G5 X is one of the more attractive compact cameras in its category and the addition of a built-in high-resolution EVF makes it more relevant for Australian photographers than the other cameras with one-inch type (13.2 x 8.8 mm) sensors currently offer...
Builtin viewfinder, Decent grip, Good quality sensor along with Digic 6 processing
Bulkier than some of the competition
It's good to see electronic viewfinders returning to compact cameras – it makes it easier to compose images in bright light and follow moving subjects. The G5 X has a lot in common with the G7 X, but the new camera feels quite different, with a grip and a...
Compact and well-built, Good all-round performance, Useful OLED viewfinder
No 4K video, Viewfinder not as good as Sony/Panasonic
Overall the Canon PowerShot G5 X feels like the best G series camera in a while – but still doesn't feel particularly innovative or “special”. The electronic viewfinder, large sensor, touchscreen and so on are all features that we'd expect from a camera i...
