The PowerShot G7X is Canon's answer to Sony's RX100 series. Canon's taken the same 20 Megapixel 1in sensor (delivering a big upgrade in image quality over typical phones or compacts) and squeezed it into essentially the same sized body. The big difference...

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...
We concluded our review of Canon's PowerShot G1X Mark II by stating The lack of a built-in viewfinder is always a deal-breaker for us and we're still of that opinion after reviewing the PowerShot G7X. Particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, where skies a...

The ergonomics of the G7 X make it a pleasure to use, being intuitive and fast. Image quality is generally good and high ISO performance is excellent for a compact. Incamera noise reduction is outstanding, producing clean images at ISO3200 without excessi
Images are surprisingly soft at the 100mm end of the zoom range. Even at f11 in bright sunlight the edges lack sharpness. And there is a tendency to over saturation of bright colours. Focus is a tad sluggish. Video quality is just OK
Sony have had the top end of the compact market to themselves since they launched the RX100, but now they have serious competition. The Canon is $120 cheaper than the Sony, but it doesn't have a viewfinder, nor does it offer one as an option. The Sony sma...

Its performance and connectivity implemenation don't impress, and some people may miss the hot shoe
The Canon PowerShot G7 X would jump from very good to excellent if it could just pick up the pace....

1inch sensor in a compact body, Large aperture for depth of field control and faster shutter speed, High build quality
No viewfinder, Fixed screen rather than tilting/variangle, F/1.8 aperture only at the widest focal length
The compact camera market is tough at the moment, but that's great news for the consumer as manufacturers are being pushed to create even better cameras with more features. Consumers are also much better informed these days and many appreciate the benefi...
