With an incredibly slim and small form factor, fast performance and ultra-responsive touch panel, the Canon PowerShot G9X is a brilliant imaging companion to have on the go. The 1-inch sensor gives you excellent image clarity and details, and although the small lens is a deterrent, you possibly have...
Incredibly light and compact; Fast shutter mechanism; Accurate autofocus; Intuitive touch panel; Very easy to use and set up; Easy to operate WiFi synchronisation
More focus on touchscreen takes time to get used to; Very limited zoom range; Slightly unreliable image stabilisation; Irregular power button
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...

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...
