Pros: Small / versatile/ full manual control if needed / WIFI

Cons: No microphone jack / no 60 or 120 FPS for slow motion video in HD / Remote software on cell phone lacking features

Opinion: This is the camera that is always with me. Small and powerfull. Every photographer should have one of these in his or her pocket. I am every time impressed by the picture quality and sharpness. Very usefull for travelling or back packing and hiking. I have never regreted buying this insane camera! If i would have to buy one now, i would go for the G7X MK II because of the more mature video functions and the microphone jack. The MKIII is too expensive in my opinion. Regardless of that, the G7X MK I is also a camera that can be recommended at any time!

Pros: "Valuable" machine: sensor larger than the classic compacts, very bright optics. The machine is TRULY pocket-sized and compact. Smaller than you can imagine seeing it on real websites on the web! Dimensions and weight really reduced to the bone! Very exploitable focal excursion: good 24mm, which is already a nice wide angle, excellent the equivalent 100mm which, thanks also to the f2.8 opening (at 100mm) allows you to detach the close-ups of the faces from the background. Finally, the overall photographic quality is satisfactory: in good light conditions the yield is not so far (indeed!) from a micro 4/3 with kit optics (14-42, 12-32, etc..). Beautiful 180 degree folding rear screen that allows you to work in "selfie mode". I found myself using it and appreciating it more than I would have imagined. Also because the result in terms of quality is better than what can be obtained from a normal mobile phone!

Cons: Well... the cost, surely! Its compactness pays off, and so much!.... with similar figures, looking well, you can take home a mirrorless with the optics of kits. And all the advantages of interchangeable goals. Then the make-up...... aesthetically it's not ugly, but it's not that it's very different from the smaller and (most importantly) cheapest compacts ever at Canon's house!

Opinion: So: bought used, it satisfied me overall. The sensor is smaller than an m4/3, but the good brightness of the optics (1.8 - 2.8) certainly helps a lot in keeping the iso low in light conditions a little scarce and in the corresponding 100mm yield: (you can make a portrait with the background a little blurry........... remarkable given the type of machine and, above all, its featherweight!). Basically I use it almost always or at 24 (it distorts a little, but nothing dramatic...) or at 100 for portraits(ni). In the rest of the focal range it is "without infamy and without praise". Good jpegs, ready to use, with beautiful colors and a right contrast. Autofocus quite fast (ok.... not lightning, but not even a snail!). It amazes with its size and weight...... really laughable. Even a sony a5000 (or a6000), even with pancakes in front, by comparison look big and heavy (!). With the 1 inch sensor I also had the Nikon j2: this one had a lightning autofocus from her, but as the final rendering of the photos we are there. The J2 was bigger and heavier, but also, probably, firmer!

Pros: Extreme pocket, image quality, focal excursion, bright zoom, intuitive menu, constructive solidity, battery life, stabilizer, quick autofocus.

Cons: Over the years can enter a little dust in the lenses (easily eliminated by Camera Service intervention), high noise beyond certain ISOs (up to 1600 discreetly manageable).

Opinion: I've owned this little gem for 3 years and I have to say it never gave me a problem. The raw files it produces are widely processed in post-production and even the noise generated with high ISO shots is discreetly solvable (up to 1600 ISO is all easily recoverable). As indicated in the pros, pockethood and build quality are solid strengths, as well as its lens that allows you to shoot at any focal with more than good results, considering that it is still a compact; if we also take into account the excellent stabilizer it becomes really difficult to miss a shot. On the video sector I can not express myself not being of interest and having never been tested. If I were to sell it it will only be for switching to a reflex/mirrorless system, otherwise this little jewel will accompany me for a long time.

Pros: Pro: Excellent construction, small pocket, RAW sensor good 1 ' ', front bezel on lens for setting commands that I use in DTS, also excursion 24/100 handyman Luminous 1.8 ISO arrives to 1600 then degrades, colors in the standart tends to aggravate warm tones ( Red

Cons: Against:

Opinion: Photographer with this small canon for about 1 year, I really find como its compactness and so I can carry it in the pocket of a jacket and always have the machine ready. Generally it takes some very acceptable fail,20mp are a good report on its sensor, easy and intuitive menu to focus from the display with a touch. Really sore note after 7/8 months I noticed dust on the internal lenses and sensor immediately.

Pros: Spectacular compact, image quality, shooting in RAW comes to 20mm zoom range

Cons: It is not an SLR

Opinion: I recently this compact that I have taken to replace the little reflex in reading outputs. As a compact camera is a show. It ''s the perfect size (fits into the pocket, weighs more than one ixus, like a travel zoom), excellent zoom range. The sensor is very good, you can do to ISO 1600 photo calmly. If we think that the lens is f1.8 and is well stabilized, this means that one shot without the noise takes home almost always. The combination of these ingredients is deadly. For example you can make a night photo with T = 1/6 A = 1.8 and ISO 200 chooses, which is very clean in absolute terms. Finally in case of need then there is the 6400-12800 area, where the noise and a magenta hue begin to appear, and then would be the case of rescale the photos. In any case, for a compact is a eccellente.rnIl my use recommended performance is TV mode in the evening (with times between 1/6 and 1/40, so he choose ISOlow and large opening), Av mode of day (from 5.6 ìl openings up to the depth of field). With very strong sun I enable the internal ND filter because at f11 T = 1/2000 there is too much luce.rnUna gem using capture one, it is that the RAW reveals a part of the sensor normally cut off. By doing so you have a picture 16: 9 with approximately horizontal 20mm equivalent focal. Not always this band is used (there is a drop of chromatic aberration too and at high ISO you have a little 'too much noise), however, in some contexts you can return utile.rnLa battery life is decent. A day of tourist shots from the hold. But you just have to put extra battery .. you access remains in play mode, you do? RnVorrei now, however, open up the field and set the review as a comparison between the G7x and other photographic tools of today . Ie smartphones and cameras. Compared to smartphonegains and not just in image quality, especially in the night, and zooming. Then there is also the wide angle and the very useful folding screen appearance. On the connectivity side-social instead we are a little 'half-way. Unfortunately, the machine can not log into a WhatsApp account (which for me would be the most useful thing). So before I fetch the photos through the app canon, then I share them. A little 'more work than usual, but on holiday abroad where you have little data you do not realize the difference. From the manual are some ways to share via facebook, email and Canon Image Gateway (which is a private gallery, which can be enjoyed only after login). But I find them less useful. rnIl comparison with the SLR is also interesting. The image quality is not far aps-c with optic kits (what you lose as sensor size it is earned with the opening). Then, can in some casesco challenging replace the SLR? I think not: they are two very different experiences. Primarily due to the absence of the viewfinder. Secundis for the speed command; the changes of opening and very quickly, especially with the rotellone on the lens, but the electro-zoom is slow as of all compact and manual focus in some cases proceeds by millimeters. Finally there is a discussion on operational speed. The autofocus is decent, but slower than a reflex, shooting (as of all compact puts those two tenths too), writing RAW files is slow which precludes raffiche.rnInsomma finally, a photographic amazing tool and reliable. Always carry it pulls you out of something good in so many situations and out clearly smartphones. It also has nice features that have neither smartphone nor reflex, as the peaking focus. But beware: the SLR complements, not replaces.

Pros: Excellent zoom range, solid construction

Cons: Dust enters easily in the lenses

Opinion: Excellent compact, perfect and bright zoom range, touch screen, excellent image quality. The orientation features only up to me is not an issue, the battery life is not the top, but on firm still need at least a second battery. Convenient to recharge the external battery charger, obviously if you have more than one battery. The problem that I consider unacceptable on a compact that level is entering the dust in the lens which is a beauty, and for this I have given away ....

Pros: Objective bright, stabilized video very well, fully manual, compact, very soft zoom, external charger, excellent photos without flash even at 1000 ISO

Cons: Flash pictures ugly, no 4K video, mechanical noise in focus, battery does not last long, a little 'pesantina, locking lugs goal delicate

Opinion: From late December 2015 are a happy owner of Canon G7x with which I decided to replace my Samsung NX500 (that's right, a aps-c): rnrnHo made many shots of confrontation but apart from the undoubted versatility, in my opinion wins this machine! rnrnIl most sensor in the NX500 gains in wealth and color fidelity but (there's always a but), apart from a focus that's incredible I feel much more valid and precise on this model, the NX500 kneads a lot more in a condition low light (in the shots of every day, we mean ...). Obviously, if I have the chance to make a beautiful pose on a tripod the quality is superior on the NX500, accomplice larger sensor and more megapixels. But in the shots of everyday run indoors, kind birthday parties and so on, no flash there is nothing to do in this machine is amazing! About his super goal very light (from 1.8 to 2.8, although open to itSSIMA opening of 1.8 does not produce razor-sharp photos) rn rnal contrary, the objective included the NX500 is not of good quality, so I said, because I do not want spenderci a blunder is not much better off buying a lighter machine with goal Serial much higher? Well the answer is obvious! rnAnche tracking is phenomenal (but it works only in AUTO mode). The NX500 have never managed to get it going ... rnrnL'unico precisely is the noise of the focus often is almost annoying (and also made me think of a malfunction initially) and the sound of the zoom while shooting video ( yet it is very sweet and super speed stabilized). rnCerto, in terms of video, the NX500 the waste because in addition to having the 4K has more settings resume G7x. But though .. even here there is no history in everyday use: small, light, without the need for lens coverapplicable manually, this is soooo more practice! RNLA battery life (in my opinion) the right and then additional batteries are cheap (not the original). rnrnNon is fast in the burst (and the quality of raw I never tested and frankly I do not care) but enough for the amateur photographer. rnInvece definitely are not satisfied with the quality of pictures taken with flash .. there definitely lose at shorter distances. But personally I hate the flash so I never use it (but why do one star less). rnrnQuindi, in summary: as value for money, now (waiting for the new models come out in 2016) without a doubt I consider it the best buy possible. [Add then to the disadvantage of the Samsung NX500 which has left the sector and therefore it is a segment already dead ...] rnrnE to say I (which are extra-picky) you can trust!

Pros: Build quality and camera

Cons: missing the tilt of the display down as my Pen Ep5

Opinion: Hi I bought this from a few days to accompany the compact Olympus Pen Ep5, for even better portability of the Pen, in particular also for fabulous and bright zoom lens. My only concern is for the sensor even smaller Micro 4/3. They are also undecided whether to leave the default setting of the machine in 6400 and ISO AUTO UP TO NOISE REDUCTION STANDARD I did the tests by setting the AUTO ISO up to 1600 and the NOISE REDUCTION ON LOW, but honestly I do not see a big improvement in the quality of jpeg files. Anyone in possession of G7x who made changes to the menu settings can advise me better. Thank you

Pros: Quality of the sensor and of the general construction, possibility of manual control, brightness goal.

Cons: It lacks the ability to tilt the display down.

Opinion: I was torn between Canon and Sony RX100 G7x III, thinking they can do without the viewfinder I preferred to save a bit 'of pennies. I still do not regret the choice. Taking into account the size, the quality is impressive shots that you can do. My need was to have a compact to take with me during the cycling, so this size should be the least possible while still having the ability to control the camera manual. Fully satisfied!

Pros: Image quality, large sensor, manual controls, the display reclines, build quality, size

Cons: Perhaps the lack of viewfinder on a compact but not if he misses

Opinion: After evaluating for months as compact complement my SLR, for use in holiday / outputs "read" and all trips not purely "photographic", I had identified 3 with similar characteristics: this Canon G7x, the older sister G1X mark 2 and the Sony RX100 mark IV. In the end I opted for G7x as smaller and "pocket" of the G1X, and much cheaper than the Sony. I must say that the choice I do not regret in the least, today I took about a thousand photos, the large sensor has a good yield, and the lens is bright enough and with a good range for a compact. Excellent opportunity to focus by touching the selected point on the touch screen, and the interesting ability to recline the screen up to 180 ° upwards. Each key is easily accessible, the menu is simple in style Canon PowerShot, automatically handles well the shooting settings, but coming from the world SLR always prefer the manual modeallow you to have full control of scatto.rnInsomma, a pocket camera but quality, recommended to those who want to keep in your pocket, especially when you have the opportunity to bring a reflex.rnE 'also beautiful, aesthetically speaking.

Pros: quality images, jpeg quality directly from the room, detailed with very little noise up to 1600 ISO, brightness lenses

Cons: for now I have not found, is not the viewfinder, but I still missed

Opinion: After trying and changed various high-end compacts to use as a replacement for the SLR, I think this little gem face just for me. rnSe set properly in the room contrast, sharpness, etc., produces jpg perfect that does not require any ritocco.rnL'ho used for a holiday with various stages and various types of photos, I did over 700 shots and only about a dozen I have cropped for composition, anything else, he was satisfied. rnAnche if not the viewfinder, the screen is visible even in bright sunlight then I have not missed. Good battery, and still to have a better safety seconda.rnAnche videos I like, nice detail and quality. Finally a truly pocket-sized compact that makes photo qualità.rn

Pros: all

Cons: annoying noise in video

Opinion: I do not know whether it is a problem only of my G7x but while doing the video you hear a mechanical noise in focus annoying, you hear a lot when I see the video seems a tractor without exaggeration, for the rest all ok wonderful machine x photos and quality ... someone who has encountered the same problem on video ????

Pros: sensor, lens brightness, construction

Cons: nobody, not even the battery

Opinion: I have a Nikon D610 that I would not change for any reason, has a sensor nothing short of fantastic. That said, I purchased this Canon G7x with a little 'of skepticism, I am one who does not accept compromises in terms of picture quality, so I was afraid that would be a buying unnecessary and unused and that I would continue to be used only and exclusively my fabulous D610 . Not at all! It 'just the camera that I needed for events where the reflex seems out of place or in dangerous situations like a sea with half body in the water, where personally would not risk never my D610 and its goals from about 1000/1500 euro each .rnQuesto jewel returns and razor-sharp images with fabulous colors, short of an amazing quality! The build quality is also excellent! RNA my opinion the Canon G7x is superior to most SLR aps-c currently available! RNE 'was a purchase that would do it immediately, even I always carry with me wherever I go, not to miss a single one scattor, he is in the jacket, in the bag of his wife, in the dashboard. Obviously if I go on trips, or to visit an archaeological site or other special events, I take with me my whole life D610!

Pros: Quality sensor, construction, light lens, effective stabilization.

Cons: Perhaps battery life

Opinion: From owner of Nikon wanted something light to take with me, I have chosen for this compact 30 mm more than the equivalent Sony RX100 III, Nikon is not yet a compact with this sensor (only the J5 but is a 1 then other dimensions) .rnIl sensor is definitely good: for my experience equal to or better than the Nikon D300, usable up to ISO 1600 (possibly 3200), produces only luminance noise. The RAW is very workable (I convert to DNG and open with Camera RAW). The zoom is very versatile, not great on the wide angle (but very entertaining plans to remove 24 equivalents reduced distance and brightness of maf lens) but excellent 35 equivalents up even at full aperture. Stabilization impressive stop to 1/10 sec to 100 mm equivalent. Impeccable construction metal. Accustomed to the menu Nikon not take me long to adapt to the Canon. When shooting in RAW + Jpeg Jpeg is only the "base" and no other opzioni.rnPurtroppo BW or, for me, after years of using an optical viewfinder can not fotogrADouble style smartphone with the monitor at 30 cm from the nose and zoom controlled by a lever. I put it on sale for just these reasons.
