Bought a new camera a bit in panic days before a long trip. Could not pull with my gigantic SLR and realized that my old small camera no longer measure up to what I want for results. Must say that I am pleasantly surprised by this Canon camera! Small and agile, and still takes great pictures.

Canon?Powershot G9X High Performance Compact Camera

Pros:
  • I like how tiny it is and yet it is easy to use the buttons
  • Nothing feels too squashed
Cons:
  • I don't like that there is no easy way to get photos to my computer
  • I had to buy a memory card reader, which is not a bad thing to own, but I would have preferred if it had come with a cord like all the other cameras I have owned.

Pursuing the goal of a genuinely pocketable camera with high resolution and superior performance to smart-phones and similarly-sized compact digicams, Canon's PowerShot G9 X competes head-to-head against Sony's RX100 cameras.

Canon PowerShot G9 X review: Touching the void

On the evidence of the Canon PowerShot G9 X it's time to wave goodbye to the company's older, small-sensor PowerShot cameras. Why? Because the G9 X packs a large 1-inch sensor size into a slender body, making a good case to out-and-out replace models such as the Canon PowerShot S120.
Pros:
  • Slim design and good looks
  • capable autofocus system
  • good image quality to ISO 1600
  • dabbling with the future in touchscreen-based controls
Cons:
  • The G7 X makes a lot more sense
  • Auto ISO opts for high sensitivities
  • limited zoom range and max aperture
  • no tilt-angle screen
  • odd shutter position
  • no d-pad

Smartphones have completely changed the photography world. They're convenient, fast, and user-friendly. And the increased competition has driven down prices so that DSLRs and mirrorless cameras are cheaper than they've ever been.

Canon G9X

The Canon G9X is the smallest 1-inch sensor camera to date. Slip it in a pocket and you can forget it's even there, but pull it out and you have the great image quality of a 1-inch sensor on tap.
Pros:
  • Smallest 1-inch sensor camera available
  • Slips in a pants pocket almost unnoticed
  • Bright lens at wide-angle
  • Great image quality
  • Swift 6.5 fps JPEG burst shooting
  • Intuitive touch-screen control
  • In-camera Wi-Fi gets images onto your phone easily
Cons:
  • Limited 3x zoom range
  • Tighter wide-angle than competitors
  • JPEG buffer limited to 10 frames
  • very slow bracketing / raw burst shooting
  • Touch-screen menus take lots of tapping
  • Poor battery life

While I like the G7X better overall for its control layout, the G9X is a great camera for the price and an excellent upgrade option for people using the Powershot S120. IMAGE QUALITY: I find nothing to complain about regarding lens sharpness, detail capture, or ISO performance on this camera.
