Canon PowerShot G9 X

Truly pocketable

I picked up the G9X for the benefit of having a truly pocketable camera with a 1 sensor and Canon color. In comparison to cameras like the G7X or the Sony RX100 series, this camera isn't as heavy/bulky as they are. While those can fit in your pocket, they're still too thick to really be pocktable.

Takes great photos but limited zoom range. close up outstanding. Buttons in wrong place.

Great camera, good purchase.

I am strictly a point and shoot person and this camera exceeded my expectations. I took many photos in Iceland figuring that I would delete the bad ones, there were no bad ones (unless I had my finger in the way or my framing was off).

Photographers pay a premium for compact cameras with 1-inch image sensors-Sony's most expensive pocket model, the RX100 IV , 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...

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...
