  • Abstract:  What makes a great small camera? For some, it must have comfortable controls. For others, it must actually fit comfortably in a pants pocket. We're so picky! Canon's two new high-end compacts have two different beautiful exteriors that almost make me forg...

  • The RAW image quality is excellent with decent quality 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 in s
  • The monitor blacks out in bright sunlight. Auto focus is a little slow and burst mode in RAW is very sluggish
  • To see the G9 X is to love it. It is a beautiful pieces of industrial design. The combination of silver metal and tan leather (both faux?) on the review camera is particularly attractive. Right now, with the cashback, the Australian price is remarkably co...

  • The G9 X appears to be the lightest and most compact of cameras with one-inch type (13.2 x 8.8 mm) sensors currently available. Its nearest rival is the Sony RX100 Mark III, which measures 101.6 x 58.1 x 41 mm and weighs 290 grams with battery and card.Li...

  • It's the first oneinch sensor camera slim enough to fit in a top pocket, Responsive and intuitive touchscreen controls, Highly detailed shots possible, even in very low light, Useful compnion app for WiFi control, Well executed variable lens collar dial,
  • No viewfinder, Few physical controls, relying mainly on the touchscreen, No 4K video support, The zoom lens is only 3x magnification, The monitor is fixed with no articulation
  • This slim and stylish compact is capable of remarkable detail and clarity, even in very low light, thanks largely to it's 20.2MP one-inch sensor. It's a pity the monitor is not articulated, but the touchscreen menu is convenient, giving fast access to som...

  • I'd have loved to see better battery life, nippier performance and slightly more to grip onto on the front of the camera. However, the concept is so strong that these drawbacks pale into insignificance. This is a camera that no one could complain is too h...
