Canon - PowerShot G5 X 20.2-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black

Bought for a trip abroad and am delighted with the quality of pictures: clear, sharp. Easy to use. Close-ups are crystal clear.

There’s so much I could write here but keep it in simple terms this is one of the best compact cameras I have ever used. The picture and video quality is equal to many DSLR’S . It’s compact form and zoom allow you to capture big shots with a little footprint. It’s a 10 out of 10.

I've recently joined the vlogging bandwagon and needed a camera with a viewfinder that I can see while I film (gotta make sure I'm actually in the frame) and wanted a fairly lightweight camera...this camera has been perfect! It focuses fairly easily and captures clear video/picture. I love the touchscreen too. When it does go out of focus, all I have to do is tap the screen and I'm good to go. The overall quality of the camera is nice and sturdy. I can set it down without having to worry about scratching it. I'll eventually upgrade to a higher quality camera, but due to the amazing quality of this camera, I'll be able to either keep using it as a spare or pass it down to my kids to use. I love it.

The Canon G5 X is a great portable alternative to a DSLR. It has a multi-angle LCD screen plus an electronic viewfinder for times when it is difficult to see the screen. The hot boot feature is great for adding an external flash or a microphone for better sound quality. The buttons are customizable, well located and easy to use. Perfect for traveling - It doesn't take up much space but has the features to capture amazing pictures. I compared this to all of the other cameras in this class before purchasing. This had every feature I needed, and some extras that the more expensive cameras lacked.

I've tried the Sony RX-100 M2 & Sony RX-100 M3 and loved the image quality in both, but wished the M2 had a viewfinder, and wished the M3, which has a viewfinder had the 24-100 mm range of the M2. Canon to the rescue! The G5X has the 24-100 mm range of the M2 and adds a great built-in viewfinder, a fully articulated LCD screen, and a solid build with a good grip. It's like a mini DSLR. It is fun to shoot and I found the image quality similar to the impressive Rx-100s.

Im in love with this camera , I'm new to photography and wanted something that was going to take great photos but also be easy to carry around without all the bulk and it is exactly what I was looking for . Love it .

I was looking for a travel camera that is a bit smaller and lighter then my Canon Powershot SX40HS. I have been very happy with the SX40 and was concerned about sacrificing quality for convenience. I needn't have worried. The little GX5 is a quality camera. I miss the larger zoom and have bit of a learning curve to as the G% is not as intuitive, but the photos are great.

This is my second big camera purchase and I'm beyond impressed. I expected the camera to have good quality but it has exceeded every expectation. The camera quality is superb and it's the perfect size. On top of that it's easy to understand as far as the settings and adjusting things for different purposes. I'm a beginner that makes weekly volgs; this is an advanced camera but set up where it's simple for beginners to understand and master. It has an app that allows you to control it from your phone and you're able to save you items instantly. Also connects to wifi and allows you to connect to other things in a wireless way.
