Big 1-inch image sensor, Wide aperture zoom lens, Vari-angle touch display, EVF and hot shoe, Quick focus, Wi-Fi with NFC, Raw capture
Expensive, Burst rate slows when shooting Raw, Lacks 4K video support
The Canon PowerShot G5 X is a bulkier twin to the G7 X, adding an EVF, a hot shoe, and a vari-angle display. It's an excellent choice if you want a beefier compact...

The G5 X comes fully-stocked with a large 1in sensor, an Electronic Viewfinder, tiltable touchscreen and a versatile lens with a wide aperture. It's durable and well-built so it was impossible to give it anything less than 5 stars for features and build...
