Canon PowerShot G5 X

I bought the Canon Powershot G5X a few weeks ago from Canon's website and I am so impressed.

I have been taking semi-professional photographs for 15 years, and tried out a lot of compact cameras. This is the first one that I feel has everything:

• Size to fit in a jacket pocket.
• Quality to motivate its price
• Perfect balance of easy to use, while still having several very impressive advanced features!
  
  

I can only recommend this camera to pretty much anyone who wants a fantastic overall camera to grow with.

I bought this camera a few months ago and have been incredibly impressed by the quality of the photos, despite being a compact camera that fits in my jacket pocket. It's both easy to use, but also has great advanced features for the more experienced photographer.

I bought this camera to have as my take anywhere camera, slips easily into my jacket of body warmer. The build quality is superb, I suppose you could call it a semi-pro camera as it does nearly everything my M5 & M50 does but pocketable. It has an excellent zoom range, exposure compensation dial, all the usual shooting settings, good ISO range, I’m glad I bought it when I did as I see the price has crept up, my only small criticism is that in my opinion it’s a little overpriced but you do get one hell of a camera and the photos are excellent.

Love the quality of the manual controls coupled with ability to shoot on fully automatic. Like the fully articulated screen. Bought the camera for general use and travel photography in particular. Looking forward to using it on holiday soon

I bought thia to give as present to my fiancé and he is loving it! It’s a light camera with all the features you would need.

Halusin hankkia järjestelmäkamerani rinnalle helpommin mukana kulkevan kameran, joka kuitenkin voittaisi kuvan laadussa halvat digikamerat. Canoniin päädyin, koska olen niitä tottunut käyttämään ja Powershot G5x tuli valittua mm. elektronisen etsimen, kääntyvän näytön ja ihan käsituntuman takia. Kääntyvä näyttö osoittautui heti hyödylliseksi, kun jouduin kuvaamaan väkijoukon yli enkä olisi näyttöä nähnyt suorilta käsiltä muuten. Lisäksi on ollut kätevää sulkea näyttö niin, että näyttö on suojassa. Lisäksi kosketusnäyttö on todella hyvin tehty, ja se ehdottomasti nopeuttaa valikkojen käyttöä ja auttaa tarkentamaan haluttuun kohteeseen. Kokeilin myös käyttää Canonin Camera Connect appia puhelimellani ja se toimi hienosti G5x:ni kanssa. Yhdistäminen oli helppoa ja pystyin kätevästi kaukolaukaisemaan kamerani puhelimeni avulla, sekä siirtämään haluamani kuvat kamerasta puhelimeen. Kuvanlaatu on ollut hyvää omasta mielestäni. Kamera tuntuu hyvältä käsissä ja siitä saa hyvän otteen muotoilun ansiosta. Hinta mielestäni on juuri siinä kipurajoilla, mutta olen nyt todella tyytyväinen valitsemaani kameraan.

Without a doubt my best camera to date. Feels very comfortable to hold even with my large hands, more so with the canon half case. To be honest i was expecting compact camera results from such a small lens, how wrong I was !. Sharp with great colours , equ to 24-100mm and f1.8 with built in ND filter and macro covers everything i shoot and more.

Fully articulated screen and crisp evf rounds things to a perfect 10 for me .

I bought this this the following day after a wedding photographer recommended it as he was using his as a backup, 6 months later it still amazes me. Well done canon !

I'm really pleased I chose this one - it does everything I want but without the size and weight of an SLR

My 70D plus lenses, tends to get heavy by the end of the day. So for hiking or general walks in the country, or city tours when on holiday, I have found the G5 X to be the ideal conpanion. Very pleased with the camera.

I bought my G5 X as something portable that would take great pictures and be a substitute for my Canon 5D Mk 4 and associated gear. Having used my G5 X for some weeks I am very impressed with the results and features. It does fit in my jacket pocket with a bit of a squeeze but that's ok. My only gripe is the battery compartment lock - it opens too easily even when in my briefcase, let alone a pocket.
