Product Description
Product Description
Powered to Inspire._The PowerShot G7 X is a premium high-performance camera that puts exciting and impressive capabilities in a sophisticated, compact package. It starts with the sensor: a large and light-grabbing 1.0-inch, 20.2 Megapixel* High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor powered by Canon's latest generation DIGIC 6 Image Processor for beautifully rendered low-light photography up to ISO 12800. The IS lens is a f/1.8 (W)-f/2.8 (T) that puts more in your frame while staying bright to the maximum 4.2x Optical Zoom_..._read more_, with a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm for artistic background blur, and a minimum focus range of just 5cm for precise macro shooting. Wi-Fi®**- and NFC-enabled***, the PowerShot G7 X is selfie-ready with a high-resolution multi-angle capacitive 3.0-inch touch panel LCD. Shooting is a joy with High-Speed AF (0.14 sec.), 31 AF points, full-resolution continuous shooting up to 6.5 fps and 1080p/60p HD video. Designed to provide stellar images, the PowerShot G7 X is a compact digital camera powered to inspire your most impressive photography. And it delivers._Serious Imaging Power in a Compact Camera. New 1.0-inch, 20.2 Megapixel* High-Sensitivity CMOS Sensor Larger than the sensors widely used for compact cameras, the PowerShot G7 X camera's new 1.0-inch sensor achieves a beautiful balance between high sensitivity and high image quality. The sensor is able to collect more light in a shorter time period without the overflow that causes blown-out highlights. This means better detail and more subtle image quality, with rich gradation even at high ISO speeds all the way to 12800. A high signal-to-noise ratio delivers minimal noise and distortion with breathtaking dynamic range, particularly notable in bright areas. And photography enthusiasts will appreciate the changes in image processing for the PowerShot G7 X, which include target exposure value and contrast characteristics of highlights. Thanks to this change, dynamic range in bright areas is expanded with gradation attributes that are similar to EOS. Also, by changing the exposure index standard, it is possible to shoot at almost the same brightness with the same aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings as EOS. The PowerShot G7 X natively captures images in the 3:2 aspect ratio, which is the same as Canon EOS SLR cameras. The camera's image creation technology was designed with post processing in mind, and features an Aspect Ratio function, enabling RAW image capture in both 3:2 and 4:3 aspect ratios while maintaining the same angle of view. * Image processing may cause a decrease in the number of pixels. Canon DIGIC 6 Image Processor The PowerShot G7 X is powered by the latest iteration of Canon's proprietary processor, the DIGIC 6 Image Processor, which takes still and video image quality to a beautiful new level. Improved light sensitivity allows for higher resolution with less noise when shooting in dark conditions, and Dynamic IS now detects and compensates for tilt and parallel movement (shift blur) to create video that's exceptionally free of distortion. The DIGIC 6 Image Processor also enhances the performance capabilities of the PowerShot G7 X, powering full resolution high-speed continuous still shooting (even in P, Av, Tv and M modes) and the advanced star shooting modes. The processor allows for MP4 video recording for better compatibility with mobile devices and tablets. Highly compressed MP4 video not only preserves space on your memory card but also improves playback on mobile devices. The new processor also supports an MF Peaking function, giving you a pro-level focusing tool._Advanced Optics for Sophisticated Images. f/1.8 (W) – f/2.8 (T), 4.2x Optical Zoom (24mm–100mm) Lens The remarkable new lens on the PowerShot G7 X camera takes full advantage of the camera's large sensor, giving your photography a wide range of expression. With a very bright aperture value of f/1.8 at the wide angle and f/2.8 when fully zoomed to a factor of 4.2x (24mm–100mm), this lens not only puts more in your frame, but is equipped to capture an incredible variety of situations with artistry and precision. Equipped with a 9-blade Iris diaphragm, the lens lets you achieve a beautiful background defocus with shapes that are nearly round. Capture macro shots from as close as 2.0 in. (telephoto at 1.3 ft.). From a design perspective, each of the 11 glass lenses on the PowerShot G7 X has a multi-layer coating on it, which is similar to the Super Spectra Coating technology developed for EF lenses. These coatings have features like a high transmission factor, ultraviolet protection, resistant surface hardness, and stable characteristics. The coating also maximizes suppression of unwanted reflected light from ghosting or flaring to deliver clear images with high image quality._Capture More Angles - Even Selfies. High-resolution Multi-angle Touch Panel LCD The PowerShot G7 X camera's LCD screen can tilt up 180°, so taking that perfect selfie is a snap! In fact, the multi-angle LCD encourages creative framing because it's easy to achieve a flexible array of camera angles. Capacitive touch-panel operation feels familiar right away: simply touch to access quick control settings, focus and shutter release right on screen. A resolution of 1.04 million pixels makes the glare-free display ultra crisp and clear, so it's easy to compose your shots, choose camera settings, and review and share your images._Continuous Shooting Gives You the Shot You Want. Full Resolution Continuous Shooting and High-Speed AF Powered by the DIGIC 6 Image Processor, the PowerShot G7 X camera gives you a seamless, high-speed continuous shooting (up to 6.5 fps) experience that's fully available in P, Tv, Av, M and Auto modes. Shooting and processing are now performed in tandem, reducing buffering time to deliver high shooting speeds. With the significantly higher AF speed, achieving focus nearly the instant the camera is aimed is made possible. With no separate mode setting and no reduction in image quality, you can freeze brilliant action shots with ease. 31 AF Points With 31 focus points arranged in an expanded, wide pattern across the image plane, the PowerShot G7 X focuses with admirable speed and precision. Smaller focus frame sizes also make it possible to obtain accurate focus on small subjects. The PowerShot G7 X also supports 1-point and Touch AF._Simply Tap to Connect. Built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) The PowerShot G7 X camera supports NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, eliminating the need to manually find and open the Canon Camera Connect app** on your mobile device. Simply touch the NFC icon on your camera to your compatible Android™* device, and the Camera Connect app will launch automatically for remote shooting and quick, easy sharing of your images. Built-in NFC technology also makes it simpler to install the app. If the app hasn't been installed yet, once you touch the devices together for the first time, the download screen will display automatically. Enhanced Wi-Fi® Capabilities The PowerShot G7 X is equipped with built-in Wi-Fi® technology for convenient sharing and transferring of your still images and video. Easily post your images to social networking and media sites – Facebook®, Twitter®, YouTube™, Flickr®, and Google Drive™ – through CANON iMAGE GATEWAY# directly from your PowerShot camera, or save them to the online photo album to share anytime, anywhere. The camera can also connect directly to both iOS® and Android™ devices***, and upload images via the free Canon Camera Connect app** without a computer. You can control the destination of your uploads to share with everyone or to selected groups, and even add comments. Sharing video is also easy with the PowerShot G7 X, which records video using the MP4 format. Enhanced Wi-Fi® makes posting in real time possible, so you can keep everyone up to date with amazing photos and video even as events unfold. The built-in Wi-Fi® technology on the PowerShot G7 X also allows you to transfer images to other Wi-Fi® equipped PowerShot cameras or print your photos directly to a PictBridge (Wireless LAN) certified printer. Mobile Device Connect Button One-touch connection to your mobile device or computer is also made possible on the PowerShot G7 X with the camera's dedicated Mobile Device Connect Button. You can choose to transfer images to your smartphone or tablet for immediate sharing with the Camera Connect app**, or to your computer on the same network with Image Sync to make saving and organizing your images easier. When the camera finds a linked computer on the same wireless network, images are sent directly to it. Otherwise, images are temporarily stored on CANON iMAGE GATEWAY# then transferred once a connection is made, eliminating the need for cables. * Compatible with Android smartphone and tablet versions 4.1/4.2/4.3/4.4/5.0/5.1/6.0/7.0/7.1. ** This software enables you to upload images to social network services.

Canon Full HD Video with Manual Control Whether you're creating artistic film clips or capturing special occasions, the advanced video capabilities of the PowerShot G7 X camera will get them the attention they deserve. Incredibly realistic 1080p Full HD video is recorded at 60 frames per second with stereo sound in convenient MP4 format. Video is smooth and richly detailed even when played back on a large-screen HDTV via the camera's HDMI output. The MP4 format's small file size lets you fit more on a single memory card, and makes downloading and sharing quicker and easier. In keeping with the camera's EOS-like capabilities, Manual movie mode is also available. Adjust Av, Tv, and ISO speed – you can even select focus points by using the touch panel LCD screen – either before or during video capture to express your vision your way in a wider variety of situations – all from a compact that fits in your bag. Apple iFrame® The PowerShot G7 X also records video in the Apple iFrame® format, a computer-friendly standard that speeds up the importing and editing of videos. The format keeps file sizes small, so uploading or e-mailing high-quality videos is quick and easy. The iFrame format enjoys native support in compatible Mac and Windows video applications, so you won't need to make time-consuming conversions that can degrade quality._Optimal Image Stabilization in Any Situation. Intelligent IS It's easy to capture clear, steady images with the PowerShot G7 X camera – even in low light without using a tripod – because it is equipped with Canon's innovative Intelligent IS. The system automatically analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for the shooting situation, allowing you to focus on framing and capturing your shot. For stills, the system selects from Normal IS, Panning IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Tripod modes. When shooting video, the system selects from Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Active Tripod IS modes. Icons clearly mark the image stabilization mode, whether you're shooting still images or video. Still Image Shooting Normal IS - Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting stills. Panning IS - Panning motion is detected so that IS does not interfere with desired camera movement. Macro (Hybrid) IS - Corrects for shift-type camera shake, which typically occurs in macro (close-up) shooting. Tripod - When tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped because it is not needed. Video Recording Dynamic IS - Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs while walking. Powered IS - Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified. Macro (Hybrid) IS - Corrects for motion blur that is likely to occur when shooting video while walking. Also compensates for the shift-type camera shake common in macro shooting. Active Tripod IS - When shooting video while using a tripod, the image stabilization is active to compensate for slight camera shake._Control Designed with Photographers in Mind. Convenient control ring, exposure dial, and mode dial provide intuitive manual adjustment Thoughtfully designed controls distinguish the PowerShot G7 X camera as the first of its line, and will satisfy even advanced photographers. The front control ring makes easy setting changes possible, with customizable zoom, Tv and Av assignments. A two-layer exposure compensation dial is easily accessed from the secure, concave thumb grip, and keeps pace as you quickly and actively create images. A mode dial and dedicated Movie button – as well as two customizable functions buttons on the back of the camera that you manually set to gain easy access to some shooting modes and functions – all contribute to the camera's quick, convenient operability._Capture the Night Sky Like Never Before. Star Shooting Mode Starry skies were formerly out of reach to all but experienced SLR camera users; however, star shooting modes on the PowerShot G7 X camera make these wonderfully impressive images accessible to all. With just a tripod and simple settings, you can capture exquisite Star Nightscapes, Star Trails, Star Time-Lapse Movies and Star Portraits. In Star Portrait mode, the camera consecutively takes two shots of the subject, plus one of the night sky, and then merges them into a single image, creating beautiful portraits with a starry background. The modes can be performed fully automatically or with manual controls for extra versatility. Support functions including Night Display, Color Adjustment and Star Emphasis make any starry sky easier to capture._Additional Features. HDR handheld (no tripod required) Although the PowerShot G7 X camera has been designed with an expanded dynamic range for excellent capture of bright areas, high contrast environments can be further controlled with High Dynamic Range shooting mode. In this mode, the camera will shoot three different exposures in succession (underexposed, overexposed and normal) and then merge them into a single image. Underexposed areas are combined with the overexposed and vice versa, resulting in an evenly detailed image with flattering shadows and highlights. The camera allows you to use this mode without a tripod, and features four sub-modes in addition to Natural – Art Standard, Art Vivid, Art Bold and Art Embossed – which provide striking effects that add to the creativity of your compositions. RAW As with many EOS DSLR cameras, the PowerShot G7 X camera uses a 12-bit converter to process the output of the CMOS sensor, resulting in true color, smooth tonal transitions and natural gradations. The PowerShot G7 X lets you shoot in RAW mode, which records all the information captured by the sensor, giving you outstanding flexibility and complete creative control when editing your images with Canon's powerful bundled software. The camera also allows you to record in RAW and JPEG formats simultaneously. Now, in RAW mode, you can even select among several aspect ratios, including 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 1:1 and 4:5. ND Filter The PowerShot G7 X camera includes a neutral density (ND) filter. The ND filter reduces light coming into the sensor, which allows you to set longer exposure times and very wide apertures to create striking photographic effects. Creative Shot The Creative Shot mode featured on the PowerShot G7 X camera can help anyone create images with artistic flair. Rather than randomly applying filters, Creative Shot mode takes advantage of Canon's advanced image and scene analysis technology to apply any of the 46 filter options based on the individual scene, subject and exposure. In addition to the original shot, the camera automatically produces and saves five unique variations of the composition by cropping it, rotating it, or adjusting its color, tone, and more. The result is stunning artistic photos that are perfect for sharing._Image Capture Device Type 20.2 Megapixel*, 1.0-inch CMOS (sensor aspect ratio: 3:2)*Image processing may cause a decrease in the number of pixels Total Pixels Approx. 20.9 Megapixels Effective Pixels Approx. 20.2 Megapixels_Lens Focal Length 8.8 (W) - 36.8 (T) mm (35mm film equivalent: 24-100mm) Optical Zoom 4.2x Digital Zoom 4x Focusing Range Normal/Auto: 2.0 in.

Serious Imaging Power in a Compact Camera
New 1.0-inch, 20.2 Megapixel* High-Sensitivity CMOS Sensor
Larger than the sensors widely used for compact cameras, the PowerShot G7 X camera's new 1.0-inch sensor achieves a beautiful balance between high sensitivity and high image quality. The sensor is able to collect more light in a shorter time period without the overflow that causes blown-out highlights. This means better detail and more subtle image quality, with rich gradation even at high ISO speeds all the way to 12800. A high signal-to-noise ratio delivers minimal noise and distortion with breathtaking dynamic range, particularly notable in bright areas. And photography enthusiasts will appreciate the changes in image processing for the PowerShot G7 X, which include target exposure value and contrast characteristics of highlights. Thanks to this change, dynamic range in bright areas is expanded with gradation attributes that are similar to EOS. Also, by changing the exposure index standard, it is possible to shoot at almost the same brightness with the same aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings as EOS. The PowerShot G7 X natively captures images in the 3:2 aspect ratio, which is the same as Canon EOS SLR cameras. The camera's image creation technology was designed with post processing in mind, and features an Aspect Ratio function, enabling RAW image capture in both 3:2 and 4:3 aspect ratios while maintaining the same angle of view.
* Image processing may cause a decrease in the number of pixels.
Canon DIGIC 6 Image Processor
The PowerShot G7 X is powered by the latest iteration of Canon's proprietary processor, the DIGIC 6 Image Processor, which takes still and video image quality to a beautiful new level. Improved light sensitivity allows for higher resolution with less noise when shooting in dark conditions, and Dynamic IS now detects and compensates for tilt and parallel movement (shift blur) to create video that's exceptionally free of distortion. The DIGIC 6 Image Processor also enhances the performance capabilities of the PowerShot G7 X, powering full resolution high-speed continuous still shooting (even in P, Av, Tv and M modes) and the advanced star shooting modes. The processor allows for MP4 video recording for better compatibility with mobile devices and tablets. Highly compressed MP4 video not only preserves space on your memory card but also improves playback on mobile devices. The new processor also supports an MF Peaking function, giving you a pro-level focusing tool.
Canon HS SYSTEM
The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos as they happen, whether the light is cooperating or not. Beautiful low-light shots are possible with minimal noise and truly impressive detail in both highlight and shadow areas. The system is the result of two technologies in the PowerShot G7 X: the large format 1.0-inch High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor, which captures more light; and the DIGIC 6 Image Processor, which actively reduces noise at high ISO speeds up to 12800 and processes images at high speed, even at full resolution. Experience the freedom of using higher shutter speeds in far more situations, allowing you to capture images with exceptional clarity and detail.
Advanced Optics for Sophisticated Images
f/1.8 (W) – f/2.8 (T), 4.2x Optical Zoom (24mm–100mm) Lens
The remarkable new lens on the PowerShot G7 X camera takes full advantage of the camera's large sensor, giving your photography a wide range of expression. With a very bright aperture value of f/1.8 at the wide angle and f/2.8 when fully zoomed to a factor of 4.2x (24mm–100mm), this lens not only puts more in your frame, but is equipped to capture an incredible variety of situations with artistry and precision. Equipped with a 9-blade Iris diaphragm, the lens lets you achieve a beautiful background defocus with shapes that are nearly round. Capture macro shots from as close as 2.0 in. (telephoto at 1.3 ft.). From a design perspective, each of the 11 glass lenses on the PowerShot G7 X has a multi-layer coating on it, which is similar to the Super Spectra Coating technology developed for EF lenses. These coatings have features like a high transmission factor, ultraviolet protection, resistant surface hardness, and stable characteristics. The coating also maximizes suppression of unwanted reflected light from ghosting or flaring to deliver clear images with high image quality.
Capture More Angles – Even Selfies
High-resolution Multi-angle Touch Panel LCD
The PowerShot G7 X camera's LCD screen can tilt up 180°, so taking that perfect selfie is a snap! In fact, the multi-angle LCD encourages creative framing because it's easy to achieve a flexible array of camera angles. Capacitive touch-panel operation feels familiar right away: simply touch to access quick control settings, focus and shutter release right on screen. A resolution of 1.04 million pixels makes the glare-free display ultra crisp and clear, so it's easy to compose your shots, choose camera settings, and review and share your images.
Continuous Shooting Gives You the Shot You Want
Full Resolution Continuous Shooting and High-Speed AF
Powered by the DIGIC 6 Image Processor, the PowerShot G7 X camera gives you a seamless, high-speed continuous shooting (up to 6.5 fps) experience that's fully available in P, Tv, Av, M and Auto modes. Shooting and processing are now performed in tandem, reducing buffering time to deliver high shooting speeds. With the significantly higher AF speed, achieving focus nearly the instant the camera is aimed is made possible. With no separate mode setting and no reduction in image quality, you can freeze brilliant action shots with ease.
31 AF Points
With 31 focus points arranged in an expanded, wide pattern across the image plane, the PowerShot G7 X focuses with admirable speed and precision. Smaller focus frame sizes also make it possible to obtain accurate focus on small subjects. The PowerShot G7 X also supports 1-point and Touch AF.
Simply Tap to Connect
Built-in NFC (Near Field Communication)
The PowerShot G7 X camera supports NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, eliminating the need to manually find and open the Canon CameraWindow app** on your mobile device.

Apple iFrame®
The PowerShot G7 X also records video in the Apple iFrame® format, a computer-friendly standard that speeds up the importing and editing of videos. The format keeps file sizes small, so uploading or e-mailing high-quality videos is quick and easy. The iFrame format enjoys native support in compatible Mac and Windows video applications, so you won't need to make time-consuming conversions that can degrade quality.
Optimal Image Stabilization in Any Situation
Intelligent IS
It's easy to capture clear, steady images with the PowerShot G7 X camera – even in low light without using a tripod – because it is equipped with Canon's innovative Intelligent IS. The system automatically analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for the shooting situation, allowing you to focus on framing and capturing your shot. For stills, the system selects from Normal IS, Panning IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Tripod modes. When shooting video, the system selects from Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Active Tripod IS modes. Icons clearly mark the image stabilization mode, whether you're shooting still images or video.
Still Image Shooting
Normal IS Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting stills. Panning IS Panning motion is detected so that IS does not interfere with desired camera movement. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for shift-type camera shake, which typically occurs in macro (close-up) shooting. Tripod When tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped because it is not needed.Video Recording
Dynamic IS Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs while walking. Powered IS Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for motion blur that is likely to occur when shooting video while walking. Also compensates for the shift-type camera shake common in macro shooting. Active Tripod IS When shooting video while using a tripod, the image stabilization is active to compensate for slight camera shake.Control Designed with Photographers in Mind
Convenient control ring, exposure dial, and mode dial provide intuitive manual adjustment
Thoughtfully designed controls distinguish the PowerShot G7 X camera as the first of its line, and will satisfy even advanced photographers. The front control ring makes easy setting changes possible, with customizable zoom, Tv and Av assignments. A two-layer exposure compensation dial is easily accessed from the secure, concave thumb grip, and keeps pace as you quickly and actively create images. A mode dial and dedicated Movie button – as well as two customizable functions buttons on the back of the camera that you manually set to gain easy access to some shooting modes and functions – all contribute to the camera's quick, convenient operability.
Capture the Night Sky Like Never Before
Star Shooting Mode
Starry skies were formerly out of reach to all but experienced SLR camera users; however, star shooting modes on the PowerShot G7 X camera make these wonderfully impressive images accessible to all. With just a tripod and simple settings, you can capture exquisite Star Nightscapes, Star Trails, Star Time-Lapse Movies and Star Portraits. In Star Portrait mode, the camera consecutively takes two shots of the subject, plus one of the night sky, and then merges them into a single image, creating beautiful portraits with a starry background. The modes can be performed fully automatically or with manual controls for extra versatility. Support functions including Night Display, Color Adjustment and Star Emphasis make any starry sky easier to capture.
Additional Features
HDR handheld (no tripod required)
Although the PowerShot G7 X camera has been designed with an expanded dynamic range for excellent capture of bright areas, high contrast environments can be further controlled with High Dynamic Range shooting mode. In this mode, the camera will shoot three different exposures in succession (underexposed, overexposed and normal) and then merge them into a single image. Underexposed areas are combined with the overexposed and vice versa, resulting in an evenly detailed image with flattering shadows and highlights. The camera allows you to use this mode without a tripod, and features four sub-modes in addition to Natural – Art Standard, Art Vivid, Art Bold and Art Embossed – which provide striking effects that add to the creativity of your compositions.
RAW
As with many EOS DSLR cameras, the PowerShot G7 X camera uses a 12-bit converter to process the output of the CMOS sensor, resulting in true color, smooth tonal transitions and natural gradations. The PowerShot G7 X lets you shoot in RAW mode, which records all the information captured by the sensor, giving you outstanding flexibility and complete creative control when editing your images with Canon's powerful bundled software. The camera also allows you to record in RAW and JPEG formats simultaneously. Now, in RAW mode, you can even select among several aspect ratios, including 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 1:1 and 4:5.
ND Filter
The PowerShot G7 X camera includes a neutral density (ND) filter. The ND filter reduces light coming into the sensor, which allows you to set longer exposure times and very wide apertures to create striking photographic effects.
Creative Shot
The Creative Shot mode featured on the PowerShot G7 X camera can help anyone create images with artistic flair. Rather than randomly applying filters, Creative Shot mode takes advantage of Canon's advanced image and scene analysis technology to apply any of the 46 filter options based on the individual scene, subject and exposure. In addition to the original shot, the camera automatically produces and saves five unique variations of the composition by cropping it, rotating it, or adjusting its color, tone, and more. The result is stunning artistic photos that are perfect for sharing.

I started out with a Canon G2 and I thought that was awesome way back then. Then I have had many of the other small Canon camera and a D60.
I really want something portable, of course good quality photos, but I wanted to emphasize good quality photos in dim lights, like a bar or something. I was thinking the high ISO, large sensor, and large aperture should be much better than my other smaller Canon cameras. I guess you can say I am a Canon guy for cameras, and for many years printers. But now I don't like Canon printers so much anymore.
My previous samll Canon camera which I still have and it still looks like new, is the S110, I didn't see a need to upgrade the S110 to the S120.
I can say this takes amazing photos indoors even in a dark room. My S110 and I tried my Samsung S5 phone can't even compare. This camera seems to be able to take good photos in dim light better than I can see with my own eyes, and this is with no flash. I took many photos with no flash and it was great.
I compared video from this camera against the Samsung S5 phone and a new GoPro Hero 4 black.
Using all three devices in the same dark hotel room, and all at 1080P, and all setting at default. The Canon seemed to be on stabilization setting mode 1 of 2.
Once again, this camera was taking very clear video in the room while the other cameras started to black out and barely see anything. I played with the brightness in the room many times, getting darker and darker. I don't have a light meter, but when I set the lighting in the room to the darkness, in to what I would call "romantic lighting", which is dim, but you can still see the person that you want to be romantic with, the other cameras were very dark and noisy. The Canon G7x was very clear, and maybe it would make a good "adult movie" camera, I don't know.. LOL. But the other cameras including the GoPro were definitely no good in the dark room. I don't know what would happen if I used my GoPro in Protune mode and did post processing. After making the lighting about half of what I call romantic lighting I could still see with the Canon G7x, it started showing darkness and losing true color performace and was getting grainy, but I could still see what was going on. Kim Kardasian needed this camera many years ago, maybe a good thing for her, I don't know.
I haven't compared daylight photos of this to other cameras yet, since I think most of the other cameras I have take good photos in well lit areas. For stabilization mode, you can have it off, level 1 or level 2. Mine seemed to be set on level 1. I kept it that way.
I haven't done a lot of testing as far as stabilization goes, but it seems strong, even at level 1. When walking around my hotel room that night, the stabilization was so strong what if you move the camera direction, there was a hesitation of the video moving. This might not be good if you a filming fast moving objects, as this seems to hesitate a little, I wouldn't say hesitate, but if you turn the camera quickly, it makes the turning in the video a little slower. Now you could just turn off the stabilization though, and I guess removing shakes in the video means the stabilization was working as it was supposed to anyways.
Likes:
1: It is rather small compared to other camera, it is smaller than a camera like a G16, or G1x, it is only a little ticker than something like a S110 or S120. I don't wear skinny jeans, but this fits in most of my other jean pockets with lots or room to spare.
2: Video and picture quality in dark rooms is awesome. But since it can see better than me, maybe it isn't showing an accurate picture. Unless you are using something like night vision, I think you would want a camera that shows what you see, I don't think my night vision is bad. This camera will see in the dark better than you. But... OK, I actually like it, and I would but this camera again because it can see better than me in the dark, even without adjusting exposure compensation.
Dislikes:
1: Some things I don't like is the battery life sucks.
2: If you have it on a tripod you can't open the battery door or memory card slot (the same).
3:This like some of my other electronics, such as a GoPro Hero 4, have a Micro HDMI port, but they don't include a cable or adapter. I finally gave in and just bought a Micro HDMI cable from Amazon and got it today, I'll play with that later.
Neutral:
1: All metal body, it is a great quality, but I would cringe if I was to drop it, this camera seems a little slick, they should have put some rubber parts on it, there is one small piece of rubber on it, but that doesn't help, I am afraid to drop this.
2: The screen doesn't articulate like some cameras, but then again some cameras screens, such as my S110, don't move at all.
Some call this a selfy camera, I don't take many selfy, I don't think I have too much to brag about. But I can say it is a good selfy camera. I took some good selfies with it, I need to take 5 times more selfies with other cameras to get one that I like.
We'll start with image quality. No, lens is not perfect but it is fairly sharp throughout most of its range. A lot of people say that the RX100 provides sharper results right out of the camera in JPEG mode. I have found this not to be the case. It is actually the Canon that is sharper and fine detail better retained through low and mid ISOs. You may not notice the difference at small sizes but take an image from both cameras in similar shooting situations and make it as desktop background and in my observations the Canon is superior. The Sony only seems sharper because the JPEGs are more aggressively sharpened but don't stand up as well under close scrutiny because the noise reduction in JPEGs is applied more clumsily (ie more smearing of fine detail). When it comes to RAW files, both are about the same. Although the Sony's lens is a little sharper on the wide end.
There is also the issue of color reproduction. I also think the Canon is superior there as well. If you shoot RAW, you can tweak the colors to your liking. But if you don't feel like doing that, the Canon will give you better color reproduction right out of the box. The Canon is especially better for people pictures because it handles skin tones better than the Sony. I am a landscape photographer, so reproduction of greens and blues is very important to me. And I just feel that the Canon excels over the Sony in that regard.
Video is also sharp but I think the Sony is better at video and has a better feature set. So if you're equal parts into video and stills, the Sony might be a better choice.
The other big edge that Canon has over the Sony is overall usability of the camera. While it doesn't have the pop-up viewfinder like the Sonys, it does have a capacitive touch screen that Sonys lack. The Sonys however, have a more flexible LCD while the Canon just flips up. The Canon is more comfortable to shoot with than the Sony as well. There's more room up front for your hands and a very comfortable thumb rest on the back of the camera. While I wish it had some sort of textured surface on the front (like the S100 did), the metal surface isn't a slippery, ultimately leading to a more secure grip. Another plus for the Canon is the physical exposure compensation dial. Granted it can be hard to turn but it's nice not to have to go digging in the menus to access this function. Image stabilization is also rock solid.
So any downsides to the G7X? Yes. There are two major ones. The first is battery life. It is inexcusable for Canon to put such a puny battery in a powerful camera such as this one. I am hoping that the new model supposed to be released later this year will fix that. Battery life is not great and that is something that Sony is also better at.
The other issue is the autofocus system. I would not call it slow but I think they could have done a better job in speeding things up in this camera than they did. It sometimes has issues locking on in low light where as the Sony has no issues like that most of the time.
So my final verdict is that if you're primarily a still shooter and don't feel you need the pop-up viewfinder, the G7X is the way to go. If speed is a priority as well as video, the RX100 III is a better choice. I am hoping that Canon can fix some of the issues with the AF and battery life with the next model. It almost is inexcusable to release a camera with glaring flaws in those areas 2 years after the RX100. But it is otherwise a fine camera and a great alternative to a Rebel if you want about 80% of the image quality that a DSLR can give you from something that fits in your pocket.

Pros:
Finish: The finish on the camera is fantastic. It's very clean and sleek and looks even better than the photos.
Flip Screen: The flip screen is solid and doesn't feel (and isn't) fragile. It's very firm and rigid and will hold it's position pretty easily. It's super easy to track yourself and center yourself with the screen flipped forward (which is positioned directly above the camera). The screen will orient itself automatically and is pretty snappy when it does it. It's also a touch screen but there are buttons on the back of the camera as well to access functions if you don't want to use the touch screen.
Touch Screen: The screen is very responsive and rigid. I didn't get the slightest impression that I could damage it and it doesn't seen to bend or flex with the weight of my finger press.
Photos: The photos are brilliant and can capture fast movement with ease. I took a picture of a very fast moving fountain near my home and the photo caught every single water droplet without the slightest bit of blur. The droplets were perfectly captured. Colours are incredibly rich and taking photos at night was absolutely incredible. This camera picked up details at night that I could not even see with my naked eyes.
Video: The video capture is fantastic, super clear and crisp. If you need a vlogging camera, this is the one of the absolute best I've ever used without the camera being 4-8 times larger in size.
Cons:
Carry Case: A carrying case is not included. This is the sole reason I did not give the camera 5 stars. For a camera as expensive as this is, a decent case should be included at no additional cost. You can find good cases anywhere but for the cost, the expectation was there.
Weight: The camera isn't too bulky but it's weight is noticeable. This is not a camera you can just drop into any pocket unless you have cargo pant-like pockets or a bag to drop it in. It has some weight to it. This is not a big deal to me as I do not intend to carry it around for vlogging.
Flip Screen Positioning: The flip screen is a bit too tight to the camera right where the power and snapshot button is when it is flipped forward. It'd annoying to try to hit some buttons while it is flipped forward above the camera. It's best just to flip the screen back to it's original position and use the touch screen without issue.
Sound: Playing any video with sound from the camera sounds very "tin-like" but once you take the card out and play the video on your computer it sounds dramatically better. So ignore the sound quality if you're listening to something you recorded on the camera itself.
Clicking: While recording video I could occasionally hear the camera making a clicking noise. It was very subtle but the mic on the camera did not pick it up in any of the videos I shot so it's not a big deal to me but I did worry the first time I used it and heard it.
