Customer Ratings & Reviews

So I love everything about this camera especially the flippable screen but there’s no mic jack meaning you can’t plug in external mics

I wish I could give the awesome camera a higher rating than 5 stars. It really is one of the absolute best cameras I have ever owned, I decided I wanted a point and shoot camera for the times when I just didn't want to carry my full size camera. SO, I started doing some research to find one that would satisfy me. I am only an amateur photographer, but I won't settle for less than the best. The end result was a comparison between the Sony RX100 and this Canon G7X. So, I went to Best Buy to actually try them both. To hold them in my hands and play with them a little. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how the Sony was rated so highly. My personal comparison showed the canon to be FAR superior in many ways. One of the reasons the Sony reviews rated it highly was due to it having an pop up view finder. I tried it.....and it is so flimsy and fragile that I was afraid I would break it. The Canon doesn't have this feature, but is manufactured so well that It's an engineering wonder. I urge you to take a very close look at this G7X before making a final buying decision. It's so well built.....I just cannot find the words to do it justice. And the features that is does have? Wow! I love the fact that us will shoot raw photos. I love the auto focus feature that keeps the moving part of your picture in focus. I love the beautiful touch screen and the way the screen folds out. I love the built in wireless and how well it works. The locations of the controls and the ease of operation. I could go on and on about this camera. And, it costs quite a bit less than the Sony. I've had this G7X for a couple of months now and am so happy with it that I'd strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a really good point and shoot camera with features that you usually only see on a full size DSLR. No.....it wont replace the full size DSLR, and you can still do far more with the full size DSLR. But, if your looking for a point and shoot that will satisfy you when you don't have your DSLR, here it is,..... It doesn't zoom as much as I'd like, or get you in as close as a DSLR with a zoom lens, but that is about the only real disadvantage I can find on this camera. But within the normal range of this lens it can't be beat. If you need to be able to shoot pictures that are at a distance, and bring them close........then you may not be so happy with the G7X. But hey, there is no single camera that does it all, is there? They all have their pro's and con's. But if you need image stabilization, excellent auto focus, fast FPS, and the ability to shoot in the raw format...and great built in wireless....This is by far the best choice for a point and shoot. Don't take my word for it. Go to your local camera store and compare it to the Sony and You will see what I'm talking about.

Not the best buy for the price read the reviews before

Loud autofocus. Item returned. Went with Sony a6000 instead.

I love the camera but the shipping was terrible I paid for next day shipping and didn’t get my camera until almost 2 weeks later they lost my package in transit so had to mail me another one

Bought this as a gift and made the big mistake of not paying for a protection plan. My son got some particles in it and took it apart to fix. It is now ruined. $650 down the drain.

Takes horrible photos . Returned the camera for a refund . Will probably purchase a different cameras that takes better photos overall .

Its not fit for my use needs a charge like every 20mins might be good for vloging but not movies or short film

I did not purchase this item. I am worried that I got this request for review.

Camera worked well at first then malfunctioned. Intended to use it mostly for video.

So far i’ve had the camera for well over a month, it has been simple to use, very beginner friendly. The only thing that i dislike about the camera itself is that sometimes it won’t take the picture of the subject is out of focus. The video quality is pretty good too, definitely worth the purchase.

Amazing product! I’ve have had it for 2years now and it’s still in great condition. The quality of video and pictures taken with this camera is perfect for a beginners camera. I like how clear the video and pictures are when played back. The sound quality is also very clear and easy to detect voices. I use this camera to vlog and film my YouTube videos. I also like the screen camera tilt. You can flip it up and out. It makes filming easier when you are shooting in an awkward angle so the tilt of the camera screen helps you navigate where to center your shot. However, one thing that I dislike is the camera focus. I wish it detected and could go in focus quicker when zooming in on a close up shot. It takes a few seconds before you see a clear shot. Lately my camera has been randomly going in and out of focus while filming a straight forward shot. Not sure of the reason why. To fix it, I would have to turn the camera off then back on to fix and re-focus it. Overall, for the price and quality of the G7X. I would definitely recommend getting this camera as a starter.

Absolutely love this camera for vlogging its small enough that it can fit in your pocket but versatile enough do do whatever you need it to. Produces very vibrant colors and its great in low light wish the battery lasted a little longer but extra batteries aren't too expensive. Overall love this camera its the main one we use on our Youtube channel Chris and Nima and would definitely recommend getting it.

BEST CAMERA EVER! The focus can be a little better but overall i love it. especially the features, wifi connection, time lapse, fish eye, fits in pocket. a great upgrade from the previous G7X

This is the best camera I have ever owned I love that the view finder is in the top and not the side.

I normally shoot with a Canon 6D or 70D. I've done much more than a fair amount of research for a backup to my DSLR when I don't want to lug it around. This camera is fantastic, and based on extensive reviews, it's image quality is the highest, even compared to more expensive equivalents. For anyone who has anything negative to say about this camera, they are failing to remember that it is not meant to provide the same quality as an interchangeable lens DSLR where prints can be blown up to billboards. If that was the case, DSLR's would be extinct. This camera even amazes me in low-light conditions and the video is the best I can expect from a small package. If you feel the need to buy that "other brand" that competes directly with this camera, you are wasting your money. Plus, this is a very fun camera to shoot with!

I was getting fed up with having to lug around a DSLR and all of the accessories that go with it but wanted better pictures than what my iPhone 7 is capable of. I started researching a replacement small camera with excellent picture quality that would allow me to control all of the aspects of it but travel lightly and operate quickly. This camera has fulfilled all of those things and I can't wait to put it through more of it's paces. The only downside in my opinion is the zoom range. The Canon G3X has the same sensor but more zoom, but I'll probably wait and see if they do a G3X Mark series camera first.

I am not a pro photographer or vlogger, just a grandma who loves to catch small video clips and stills of my very active grandkids. I have to say it works Great. I am now able to catch nice clear photos of the kids running around inside and out without all of the blur. So far i have just used it on auto and im happy to say i have gotten great photos for family scrapbooks and some framed photos for the walls. It has worked for me in daylight and low light very well. My grandkids are to young for sports so i can't comment on that yet but i do wish it had more zoom. The nice thing is the picture files are very large so you can do a fair amount of cropping to the photos. I am very pleased with my purchase.

I needed a camera so i can film while travelling! This is a great camera and takes good quality photos and videos.

I absolutely love this camera !! My daughter is in the entertainment industry and now they have a majority of her audition on self tapes. The quality of the tapes and lightening the camera has is amazing. Phitos and videos are so crisp.
