Canon - PowerShot G9 X 20.2-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black

I have a great dslr camera but when we are on road trips in the Vette or on the bike, I wanted something smaller but did not want to sacrifice picture quality. I LOVE this little camera! The pictures are crisp and bright. Only a 3X zoom, but the pictures are so clear, I can digitally zoom when needed and the pics are awesome.

I brought this camera because I really wanted great pics for my Machu Picchu trip. Pictures came out amazing, definitely better than your average camera. The only down part of that I have not figured out how to take videos and pictures at the same time, so it might be more complicated that I thought. Also, flash is a bit tricky because you have to physically lift it to use the flash, not automatically. Love this camera.

I bought this because the low-light problems I find in my iPhone 6s. Not to mention because it is very pocketable. Battery life is very good as well. I bought an extra battery and I very rarely have to replace it.

I have an ILC I use when traveling, but wanted something smaller and pocketable. I used to have the Canon S series, but that line had gone away. I tried the G7 X, bought found it too bulky that I couldn't justify it over my ILC or a Sony RX100. With the G9 X, it brings back the S series' form factor, but with a great design and better sensor. I've found this to be a great travel pocket camera that complements my larger camera nicely for times where I don't want to carry a camera bag, and definitely is easier to tote than the more bulky Sony RX100 line.

The Canon Powershot G9x is Canon's best "pocketable" camera to date! Image quality is high, with the 1 inch sensor. Digital noise is low through ISO 800. Focus is fairly speedy, especially in good light, to catch kids and pets. Battery life is decent, though I would advise you to carry a spare battery. Movie quality is decent also. The value for what you get, compared to it's rival brands, is good. Give this camera a try, I think you'll like it ☺

When I first got my new Nexus 6P smartphone, I wavered between getting a real camera to take real pictures with, thinking that today's smartphone cameras are enough. However, once I got the Canon G9X, I realized that a real camera is still necessary. The quality of pictures and videos taken with the G9X far exceed anything taken with the Nexus 6P, and I realized that smartphone camera photos only seem better when viewed on the phone screen. Once transferred to a larger computer screen, the quality differences are apparent. I have no buyer's remorse and am so glad I didn't miss out getting this real camera.

Bought for my wife who LOVES the "retro" look, not to mention great quality images. Best camera ounce for ounce. Read quite a few reviews before deciding and am very happy that I chose this model over even some of the more expensive options. Buy it, you won't be disappointed. This is coming from a long-time Canon PowerShot user.

I travel by motorcycle and wanted a camera with lots of control and features, but in a small package. The Cannon is perfect for the job. Better image quality than a smart phone, tons of flexibility and it fits in my shirt pocket. Nice overall design, too. Not inexpensive, but worth the price.
