Powershot G5X, Canon’s new compact camera

The Canon PowerShot G5X camera is one of the family’s latest innovations with a Canon Type 1 sensor, which started with the G7X in 2014. Canon takes precisely what made the G7 X an attractive digital camera, that is. your sensor, lens and direct controls, and store everything in a case that adds an electronic viewfinder, a fully articulated LCD touch screen, an accessory claw and an additional control wheel, all without a big increase in size.

The CMOS sensor type G5X BSI 20. 2 MP 1? Designed by Sony and used for the first time in its RX100 II and III?It works great on other Canon cameras and, since the image process on the G5X is the same as in its predecessors, this processor should continue to work well. The Canon 24-100 mm F1. 8-2. 8 optical stabilization lens is also the same as on the G7 X, so there should be no surprises.

  • From a resource point of view.
  • The G5X is essentially the same as the G7X.
  • It has its manual exposure controls.
  • Customizable buttons and dials.
  • Built-in neutral density filter.
  • Raw support.
  • 6 ip transmission (JPEG only).
  • 1080 / 60p video recording and Wi-Fi with NFC.

Unfortunately, two of the G7X’s most disappointing features have been changed to the G5X, namely slow shooting and short battery life.

The Canon compact family now has five members: G1X Mark II, G3X, G5X, G7X and G9X. The G1X Mark II is the high-end model, which uses a significantly larger sensor than those used by the rest of the group.

Is the G7X the original camera with a Canon 1 sensor?And the following models are a variation of the same theme. The G3X is the long zoom model, the G5X is made for the crowd and the G9X is an ultra-compact model. with a shorter, slower lens.
