Conclusions There has never been a better time to buy a high-quality compact digital camera—assuming you're willing to spend some money. There are numerous models of varying shapes, sizes, and capabilities on the market, and for the most part they're...

The Canon PowerShot G5 X is the 'enthusiast' entry in the company's 1"-type camera lineup. In most respects, it's the same camera as the compact G7 X that preceded it, but with an electronic viewfinder, two extra dials and a fully articulating LCD...

Lots of dials and buttons ; Large sensor ; Touch sensitive screen ; Inbuilt Wi-Fi

Lack of control over Creative Shot filters ; Fairly short zoom range

It's good to see viewfinders returning to compact cameras – it makes composing images in bright light much easier. The G5 X is an excellent compact camera for anyone looking for a first 'serious' camera or a back-up to an SLR or CSC, but it's not one...

Excellent image quality in most types of scenes with 1-inch image sensor ; Good mix of automatic and manual control shooting options ; Maximum aperture of f/1.8 is good for shooting portraits ; Having a viewfinder is a great option in this price range...

Capable autofocus in various lighting conditions, built-in viewfinder and vari-angle screen, fast maximum aperture throughout zoom range, notable upgrade over G16

Fairly chunky build will raise questions for some, still in the shadow of the Sony RX100 III/IV due to size, high ISO can't overcome image noise

On the cusp of 2016 there's an argument that chunky compact cameras have had their day. The Canon G5 X helps to counter that argument with a decent lens and capable 1-inch sensor, yet it doesn't offer a huge amount extra over and above the pocketable...

The Canon PowerShot G5 X has a great viewfinder and a comfortable shooting design for serious photographers.

It can be frustratingly slow, with a short battery life.

Sluggish performance and a more limited feature set than similarly priced competitors hold the Canon PowerShot G5 back from being a leading contender among its peers.
