I love my new G5X; the image quality, form-factor and control set are just what the doctor ordered, lol....

Awsome feature set and image quality; love the manual controls. Perfect companion camera for my G3X. Very bright F1.8-2.8 lens combined with quick auto-focus make this a very handy camera for indoor and low-light use. The small size of the camera lets it live in a belt holster to go with me 24/7.

Lens may be a bit soft at wide-open aperture and full wide-angle, may need to apply in-camera sharpening to compensate; Need to check that out a bit more, as not sure yet

Firstly the delivery time was very good considering it was being sent to Northern Ireland. Ordered 3-5days and it arrives in two days. The camera feels solid in the had and is very well constructed. The controls are smooth and well laid out. It seems a lot of thought has gone into this camera.

"I agree with Paul's opening comments. 5 stars from me - this is the camera I've been waiting for. Other brands may look tempting, but for solid capability this is the one. Thank you Canon!"

By definition this is referred to as a point & shoot camera - but, it's far more than that. I would recommend it to anyone that likes great pictures.

Feature set very close to the much more expensive Canon 70D; I'm not qualified to write a full review so let me say that I have a Canon 5D full frame digital & this little guy/gal impressed me; I actually like using it very much.

Short battery life between charges; That can be solved with a spare battery; Proper settings can also extend the battery life a good bit

About 7 years with heavy use my Canon G10 decided to retire. After some very useful collaboration with Paul C and others at the Abt photography department I got the G5X as replacement and couldn't be happier with the choice.

Easy To Use; Good Image Quality; Good in Low Light; Large Clear LCD

Limited Zoom

Canon's recent launch of the PowerShot G9 X and G5 X was designed to bolster its current range of enthusiast compacts. The G5 X sits above last year's pocket-sized PowerShot G7 X, and it would appear that Canon has taken on board a lot of comments from consumers with regard to that camera.

Large sensor compared to camera size; Fast zoom lens; Great colour rendition in JPEG; Excellent electronic viewfinder

Relatively slow autofocus; Slow to write raw files; Not truly a pocketable camera

Bought it a few weeks ago, so far quality is great with videos and photos, downside can't use external microphone on the hot shoe and didn't come with any cords for transferring directly from camera!

Excellent viewfinder

Battery life is miserable

Appareil répondant parfaitement à mes attentes et mes besoins.

I ordered this camera for a few reasons - mainly for a run and gun video camera. This is perfect for grabbing those quick shots for short films. It's also a perfect camera for YouTube videos if that's what you are after. It is also phenomenal for photos.
