Description

The Canon Powershot G5 X is a compact camera for the advanced photographer. The camera is equipped with an electronic viewfinder and a tiltable touchscreen. With the large maximum aperture of f/1.8 to 2.8, you can shoot handheld in low-light situations for longer. The large aperture also ensures that your subject stands out from the background. To make the camera your own, you can customize it using a number of programmable function buttons. If you don't feel like thinking about the various settings, simply set the camera to automatic mode and take the most beautiful photos, care-free.

Review is 10 out of 10.

As far as we're concerned, Canon has a direct hit here!

Robustly built
Viewfinder and tilting screen both super handy
Better zoom range than most compact cameras
Carrying strap eyes are too far forward so that the camera does not hang 'straight'

The quality of the lens and the sensor is very good (you can also conclude that from the price...). Very bright, so that you can work well in dark indoor situations without flash (and that is also present for when it is really necessary). Even with the 4.2x optical zoom, you can still zoom in to 8.4x without loss of quality, which is already a very useful zoom lens! You can then zoom in even further up to 17x electronically, with loss of quality, but still useful in some circumstances. And the macro from 5 cm is also fine. The excellent 5-axis image stabilization is just as useful with all that zooming as it is with filming, where it also produces great stable footage! In addition to all this, the G5 X is also solidly built, the metal housing feels solid and the handgrip is very practical for such a small camera. Coming from a micro-4/3 camera, a viewfinder was a must, nothing more practical when traveling, in full sunlight outside! And you can also rotate the large screen in all directions, ideal in some circumstances. In short, the ideal travel camera, 400g of pure technology in your hands!

Review is 10 out of 10.

Real shooting again on a compact

Incredibly beautiful pictures
Fully articulated screen
Battery

First had the tz100, great travel camera, nice zoom, but no top viewer, no top rotating screen and no top photos. At least, I know that now, because boy what a difference with this g5x. Long doubted, not knowing whether a Mark 2 will be released, but what a top camera this is! Not the fastest AF or fps, or all kinds of so-called handy features, but how often do you need that! This is old-fashioned real shooting again! And what beautiful pictures!!! And you won't believe it when you see the images from the camera. It really is a miniature dslr, just funny! It's just a shame that no one is building GPS on board anymore, but then you would only be able to take 100 photos with this battery.
