Compact cameras with large image sensors typically pack fixed focal length lenses. Think Fujifilm's X100T or the Leica Q. Meanwhile

Camera Review
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
Focus on the sluggish side. Slow burst rate when shooting Raw. Takes a while to turn on. EVF is a pricey accessory
Good buildquality, Adjustable touchscreen with great resolution, Good AF tracking, Simple interface and pleasant handling, Customizable settings wheels, WiFi and NFC, Powerful 25x zoom, Focus peaking available in video mode, Great video picture quality
Bulky body, Can't program the lens ring to control zoom, Shottoshot time too slow, No standard microUSB port, RAW burst not good at all, Can't adjust many settings while videoing
Just like the G1 X Mark II, the G3 X has a few handling faults that need to be addressed if it's to become a truly flawless expert compact. Nevertheless, Canon has pulled off a pretty impressive feat in equipping the G3 X with such a great technical featu...
Immensely versatile zoom range, Quality construction, Good general image quality for a superzoom
No EVF, Poor RAW shooting performance, Worse max aperture than rivals
Canon PowerShot G3 X – Performance and AF The Canon PowerShot G3 X aims for all-round versatility. It doesn't make any particularly bold claims on general performance. It'll shoot at a respectable 5.9fps when the focus is locked, but that slows down to 3...

Abstract: Compact cameras are getting bigger, beefier and more advanced as the smartphone revolution takes over the lower-end of the market. We've already seen a handful of superzoom models with a 1-inch sensor at their core, but now it's Canon's turn to step up to...
Abstract: Up close and personal with the new Canon G3 X Just over a month ago, Canon disclosed that the next camera to be added to their PowerShot lineup would feature a 1.0-inch sensor and 25x optical zoom. Keeping to its promise, Canon has formally announced the...

Abstract: A while back, camera makers decided that people want to zoom in really, really far. More recently, they also realized people want great image quality and advanced controls. (Who'da thought!?) Here are new two cameras that do both. Let's see which is worth...
The G3 X is a versatile camera with excellent still image quality, decent video quality and a solid, water-resistant build. While a little hefty, I reckon it'd be a fantastic camera to take travelling.If you've got £800 (RM5239) to spend on a compact, the...

Compact, robust form factor, Tilting display, A real easy-to-use zoom camera, Decent low light shots
No built-in viewfinder, No 4K video recording
From its compact build and weather-resistant body that makes it a good companion for traveling, to its superzoom capabilities in an instant, and down to its decent battery life, the Canon G3X is an effective consumer product for casual photographers looki...
Abstract: Currently, if you own a DSLR and want a super-telephoto zoom lens, your cheapest options will be the Sigma 150-600mm and Tamron 150-600mm lenses. If mounted on APS-C cameras, the 1.6x crop factor yields you a 240-960mm full-frame equivalent focal range. H...
Abstract: There is plenty to like about the PowerShot G3 X. First, it has a large one-inch image sensor, similar to that of the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 series. Second, it has a 25x optical zoom lens with a range of 24mm to 600mm, which should cover most shooting occa...
