Canon's PowerShot G9 X And G5 X Cameras: The Gizmodo Review
What makes a great small camera? For some, it must have comfortable controls. For others, it must actually fit comfortably in a pants pocket. We're so picky! Canon's two new high-end compacts have two different beautiful exteriors that almost make me forget their few shortcomings.

Canon PowerShot G9 X Review
The Canon PowerShot G9 X is the smallest camera you can get with a 1-inch image sensor, but it has a limited zoom range and is very slow when shooting in Raw format. Photographers pay a premium for compact cameras with 1-inch image sensors—Sony's most expensive pocket model, the RX100 IV ($898.00 at Amazon) , sells for close to $1,000. Canon is attempting to slash the price of entry with the $529.99 G9 X, but it's still a significant purchase, and its performance is likely to disappoint serious photographers who prefer to shoot in Raw. If you're a JPG shooter or a casual shutterbug with deep pockets it's worth a look, but spending more on a camera like the Canon G7 X is a better use of your paycheck. Our Editors' Choice for premium compacts is still the RX100 III, but its price tag makes it a tough sell for budget-minded photographers. DesignThe G9 X ($499.00 at Amazon) is surprisingly small given its 1-inch image sensor. It measures just 2.3 by 3.9 by 1.2 inches (HWD) and weighs 7.4 ounces. The Sony RX100 II, which shares the same 20-megapixel BSI sensor, is just a little larger and heavier (2.3 by 4 by 1.5 inches, 9.9 ounces). We received a...
Pros:
- Sharp lens

- Fun Creative Shot mode

Cons:
- Limited zoom range

A change in how review loans are authorised is the reason that there has been an interregnum since the last review from me. Hopefully now I can get back to telling you about the latest offerings from this iconic name in cameras and more.
