The editors didn't like
Optical zoom is limited to 4.2x
Camera is chunky with an oddshaped design
Making it tough to fit in a standard pocket
Some control buttons are a bit too small to be used comfortably

The RAW image quality is excellent, surprisingly acceptable up to ISO2500. The Digital Photo Professional 4 RAW converter automatically applies discreet noise reduction which doesn't blur fine detail. The sensor/processor does a good job of keeping detail
Actually there is nothing to dislike. In its category and at the price this little camera is close to perfection
The G5 X is one of the more attractive compact cameras in its category and the addition of a built-in high-resolution EVF makes it more relevant for Australian photographers than the other cameras with one-inch type (13.2 x 8.8 mm) sensors currently offer...
Builtin 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...
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...

It can be frustratingly slow, with a short battery life
Sluggish performance and a more limited feature set than similarly priced competitors hold the Canon PowerShot G5 back from being a leading contender among its peers...
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...
