Canon PowerShot G7 X Pro Reviews

The Canon Powershot G7 X has a useful 4.2x optical zoom lens, with a wide-angle equivalent of 24mm zooming to 100mm at the telephoto end, with a bright f/1.8 to f/2.8 aperture. The camera takes pleasing images with bright saturated colours and good levels of detail which will keep even the most fussy photographer happy, considering the compact nature of the camera. However, it's unfortunate that some of the options available are greyed out when shooting in raw mode, as you may wish to use the colour options, as well as the dynamic range options. The battery life is also short, unless you switch on the Eco mode. Wi-Fi and NFC are built in, which is quickly becoming a must-have feature, letting you quickly share photos, as well as remotely control the camera, or add GPS information to your photos. Offering a wider than most lens, as well as a good telephoto reach of 100mm equivalent, along with good noise performance the Canon Powershot G7 X is highly recommended.

The Canon PowerShot G7 X has a bright zoom lens that covers a lot of range and a large 1-inch image sensor, but just misses earning our Editors' Choice nod for top premium compact camera.
