With truly exceptional image quality from such a small camera, anything less than five stars may seem unduly harsh. The G5 X's performance should be better, though, and it's important to remember that – unlike the Canon G7 X and Sony RX100 IV – the G5 X w...
The G5 X makes for crowded lineup, but it complements the rest of the G Series perfectly. With the G5 X, Canon now has four distinct—if not entirely different—options for people looking for a dedicated point-and-shoot camera. It's a bold move from the...

Capable autofocus in various lighting conditions, built-in viewfinder and vari-angle screen, fast maximum aperture throughout zoom range, notable upgrade over G16
Fairly chunky build will raise questions for some, still in the shadow of the Sony RX100 III/IV due to size, high ISO can't overcome image noise
On the cusp of 2016 there's an argument that chunky compact cameras have had their day. The Canon G5 X helps to counter that argument with a decent lens and capable 1-inch sensor, yet it doesn't offer a huge amount extra over and above the pocketabl...
Compact and well-built, Good all-round performance, Useful OLED viewfinder
No 4K video, Viewfinder not as good as Sony/Panasonic
Overall the Canon PowerShot G5 X feels like the best G series camera in a while – but still doesn't feel particularly innovative or “special”. The electronic viewfinder, large sensor, touchscreen and so on are all features that we'd expect from a camera i...

The best case for the G9 X is that it is the most compact camera with a one-inch sensor out there. That's worth quite a bit, and for £415, it can hang with the competition. But if performance is really important to you, you simply must stump up the cash f...
High-quality photos, Great manual control layout, Strong JPEGs
Focusing relability falters in low light, Poor RAW shooting speeds, No 4K video
Canon Powershot G5 X: Image Quality The Canon PowerShot G5 X cares more about nailing down a set of priorities rather than, like the Sony RX100 IV, setting new standards in any particular area. I have a hunch the Canon PowerShot G5 X uses the same 20.2-me...
Built, in viewfinder, Decent grip, Good quality sensor along with Digic 6 processing
Bulkier than some of the competition
It's good to see electronic viewfinders returning to compact cameras – it makes it easier to compose images in bright light and follow moving subjects. The G5 X has a lot in common with the G7 X, but the new camera feels quite different, with a grip and a...
APs Michael Topham gets to grips with the Canon PowerShot G5 XIn-hand, I was pleased to find that the G5 X feels unusually secure for a small camera, aided by its small front grip and a thumb ‘hook on the back. It feels solid and well made, and the cont...
Good quality photos, several manual settings, rotatable screen
lacks in focusing in low light, no 4K video support
