Great little pocketable camera

I bought the G9X as a more pocketable camera (compared to the 5D3 I already have) for when out and about. Although the image quality of the Canon 5D3 is phenomenal, I'm still really impressed by the images from this little camera.
Pros:
  • Bright LCD
  • Comfortable Controls
  • Easy Setup
  • Easy To Use
  • Great Picture Quality
Cons:
  • Short Battery Life

Like the G5 X launched at the same time, the G9 X has the same 20.2Mp 1-inch type back-illuminated CMOS sensor as the , which impressed us when we tested it back in 2014. Once again this sensor is coupled with Canon's Digic 6 processor and this combination enables a sensitivity range of ISO...
Pros:
  • 1-inch type BSI sensor
  • Small size
  • Advanced controls
Cons:
  • Limited focal length range
  • No viewfinder

Canon G9X review

Canon's PowerShot G9X represents the continuing evolution of pocket cameras: small and smart like many of its predecessors, but crucially packing a larger 1in sensor. The sensor is the key here as it's three to four times larger than those in most phones and compact cameras, allowing the G9X to...
Pros:
  • Smallest conventional camera with a 1in sensor, Very capable touch-screen
  • Quick and easy to control, Full manual control over exposure and focus, Built-in Wifi with NFC and good smartphone control, USB charging in-camera but also supplied with AC charger
Cons:
  • Basic 3x optical zoom
  • A little soft at 28mm in corners, Lens focal ratio slows down at 84mm to f4.9, No viewfinder
  • Screen doesn't tilt either, No in-camera panorama mode, Burst speed in RAW is very slow

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

Canon PowerShot G9 X review

It's every keen photographer's dream – a camera with a decent sized sensor that's still small enough to carry around everywhere. The G9 X has a 1-inch sensor, a comparatively new type that's four times larger than the 1/2.3-inch sensors in point-and-shoot cameras and more twice the size of the...
