  • Excellent photo quality, Fast lens with longer zoom range than competition, Sensor/lens combination allows for very shallow depth-of-field, Customizable front dial, LCD can flip upward 180 degrees, Touchscreen display allows for easy focus point selection
  • Poor battery life, Slow continuous shooting and shot-to-shot speeds with Raw images, Focusing can be inconsistent, Manual focus has low quality preview, limited magnification, and requires a lot of dial-spinning, No 24p video option, Menu operation can be
  • With a time-tested 1" BSI-CMOS sensor and an impressive 24-100mm F1.8-2.8 lens, the PowerShot G7 X produces excellent quality photos. Although the ergonomics won't suit everyone and battery life isn't as good as some competitors, the G7X is well suited to...
