We concluded our review of Canon's PowerShot G1X Mark II by stating The lack of a built-in viewfinder is always a deal-breaker for us and we're still of that opinion after reviewing the PowerShot G7X. Particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, where skies a...

The ergonomics of the G7 X make it a pleasure to use, being intuitive and fast. Image quality is generally good and high ISO performance is excellent for a compact. Incamera noise reduction is outstanding, producing clean images at ISO3200 without excessi
Images are surprisingly soft at the 100mm end of the zoom range. Even at f11 in bright sunlight the edges lack sharpness. And there is a tendency to over saturation of bright colours. Focus is a tad sluggish. Video quality is just OK
Sony have had the top end of the compact market to themselves since they launched the RX100, but now they have serious competition. The Canon is $120 cheaper than the Sony, but it doesn't have a viewfinder, nor does it offer one as an option. The Sony sma...

Compact size, Manual features, Good overall image quality
No EVF, Not great for close-ups, Noticeable lens distortion at 24mm
The PowerShot G7 X is a superb little camera aimed at serious photographers. With a large 1in sensor, a fast all-purpose zoom lens, a touch & tilt 3in LCD, and Wi-Fi and NFC built in, it's a powerful bit of kit considering its small size. Advanced feature...
Abstract: The Canon website says ‘DSLR-like creativity in a connected large sensor compact' which seems to sum up this powerful unit.It is small enough to fit in your pocket or purse at 10.5x6.5x4cm the last figure increase to 8cm when fully zoomed. It is somewhat...
Abstract: The right side has a flip door behind which are AV and HDMI connectors, below this is a flush button that will search for a Wi-Fi access point and behind the flip door is a strap anchor point. The left side also has an anchor point as well as the built in...
