Pros: Body grip, tilting and swivelling LCD, superior EVF, Leaf shutter which allows flash to sync upto 1/2000 (making HSS less essential in most well-lit contrasty situations, pocketable size (non jeans wearers!), reasonably adequate range optical zoom and good correction in JPEGs, hot shoe, good capture performance, oodles of options and settings! Excellent wi-fi connectivity, currently decently priced (Cdn $799.99) {mark II arrival is hot in the rumour mill!!}

Cons: not so good battery life (with eco on can push up to 300), okay movies, lens ring should have been non-click or a click-cancelling option, remote jack should also have mic option for better sound by using hot shoe microphone, currently decently priced (Cdn $799.99).

Opinion: Near perfect 2nd camera in my opinion. Missing 4K video is still new technology and 4K tvs are still quite expensive and so underutilized feature and many 4K cameras seem to be plagued by battery life and heat etc. If mark II version which is due according to rumours available by 2017 Christmas or early 2018 and Canon does not remove features or mess around with the physical design (do not touch the EVF, dimensions, Swivel-tilt LCD, etc) and hopefully improve the image quality a bit through upgrading the lens and/or processor (digic 7 is way faster than currently incorporated digic 6), and be able to sell at current prices or marginally higher, then it would be a greater purchase than current model. (unlike Fuji X-E3 which added features to X-E2s but took away or did not add needed features (touch and tilt screen etc, pop up flash gone etc). AS IT STANDS, the G5X would be a worthwhile purchase as a 2nd, backup or travel/street camera.

Pros: image quality, ergonomics, functions ...

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: not very compact but still extremely portable, taken from a few hours and I already know that for a while it will accompany me ... I believe that currently, with these particularities there is no compact, even the new loses some features, after the GX1III that I use for other things, this will be the machine that I will always carry with me ...

Pros: Compact, image quality produced, robust, lens brightness, excellent for reportage and travel, high ISO hold, excellent ergonomics, superlative evf.

Cons: Ring on the jerky lens does not allow a precise mf, raw burst embarrassing, battery with little autonomy

Opinion: I own this little gem for about 6 months and I could not ask for more. The body is compact and with all the controls in the right place, the ferrules allow a good control in manual except that the ring on the barrel that being jerky does not allow a proper control of mf. ergonomics is a small reflex. Purchased as a second portable body, it fully meets the needs of a second machine. The 1 "sensor puts it on top of the compact with evf and ergonomics makes it love immediately. Many do not appreciate the evf tower that rises on the car, but according to my humble opinion makes it unique and extremely wearable when you take your eye on the bright sight. Bluetooth connectivity and wi-fi complete a rich endowment. For me, a great compromise for street, travel, hiking in the mountains. I would only ask for a higher raw burst.

Pros: Body and ergonomics, weight sensor with good dynamic range and made valid at high ISO, viewfinder good quality.

Cons: The ring on the barrel is jerky and is not suitable for zooming and manual focus, focus is not always quick and accurate especially in the absence of light, functions not available for the recovery of light and shadow in RAW + JPG, very slow burst recording in RAW or RAW + JPG, battery from reduced autonomy

Opinion: I thought I had found the car always keep me in your pocket, to make up for continuous use of only reflex, but this creation of mom Canon although visually very beautiful, comfortable to hold even for those with big hands I was not pleased overall. I try FUJIFILM DIGITAL FX-X100T hoping to find the right alternative to accompany the 5D Mark III.
