Canon PowerShot G3 X
No built-in EVF
Mediocre AF speeds
Sluggish burst rate with RAW/RAW+JPG and with servo AF
Below average battery life
No 4K video unlike competitors

The Canon PowerShot G3X is Canon's first big zoom, big sensor compact. Traditional super-zoom cameras have a lot to offer but, their typically small sensor size prompts many buyers to migrate upwards to a DSLR or mirrorless. The G3X's 1inch sensor isn't a...
