I love this camera, just one thing there are no replacement parts for this as I have been told by Cannon. I wanted to just find a replacement lens cap, something simple and after more than a month of back and forth emails, I was told a lens cap could not be replaced... just saying

I've condensed the pros, cons & my conclusions here. For more details and lots of sample images showing what the camera is capable of please check out my full real-world review http://davidcandlish.photography/canon-g3x An Endless Task PROS (1) Fantastic image quality (2) Superb optics - decent...

The Canon PowerShot G3 X is a new premium superzoom compact camera with a large CMOS image sensor and a fast lens. The metal-bodied G3 X has a 1.0-type back-illuminated 20.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor, an f/2.8-5.6, 25x lens with 9-blade aperture, full manual controls, shooting mode and exposure...

Tried it, played with it, fantastic piece of kit, but didn't buy. A camera like this really has to have a viewfinder. Panasonic do them, Sony do them but still not Canon.

I had been looking for a camera with many pro features (esp. RAW format, rapid shots per second, quality of photos, zoom extension beyond 100mm, and overall customizabilty of the camera itself based on need) that I could use when I do not have my regular DSLR around (in my instance, it is the Canon...

I took this camera to Mexico and got great photos, including nights (with flash) at the celebration of the Day of the Dead). Unfortunately for me, the price seems to have dropped by $100 since my purchase in September

Excellent zoom range; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; Great Zoom; Large Clear LCD

No Viewfinder; Price too high; Short Battery Life

The Canon Powershot G3 X packs the most powerful lens fixed to a large-sensor digital camera. Its 20 megapixels 1" CMOS sensor combines with a 25X optical zoom lens to deliver high image-quality and versatility in a sturdy weather-sealed body which makes this an ideal all-in-one camera for travel...

Low image-noise; Impressive retention of details until ISO 800; Good dynamic-range; Nicely saturated colors; Reliable and consistent metering; Instant shutter-lag with very short black-out; Mostly sturdy and weatherproof body; Built-in 3-stop ND filter

Strong edge softness; Yellowish cast under artificial light; Slow AF near telephoto; Slow to exit Playback; No continuous drive RAW buffer; Many controls hard to press; impossible with gloves; Poor LCD visibility in bright light; LCD hinges wiggle

A jack of all trades and a master of some, the Canon's limited video options and lack of a viewfinder hold it back from true greatness

Versatile zoom lens; Sharp images; Sturdy; weatherproof build

No electronic viewfinder; No 4K video
