From the manufacturer
Great Images Are in Your View.
The first PowerShot G-Series camera to incorporate a full-featured 2.36 million dot electronic viewfinder, the amazing PowerShot G5 X camera makes it simple to compose, set and capture high-quality stills and video without taking your eye away from the camera. Its electronic viewfinder helps especially with shooting stills and Full HD video in bright sunlight or when using the LCD monitor is inconvenient. Full control is made simple with dedicated dials situated around the camera that let you easily customize and control the settings. Helpful features like a built-in accessory hot shoe and a multi-angle, capacitive touch screen monitor serve to create a unique experience.

20.2 MP1 CMOS SensorA 1.0-inch 20.2 Megapixel1 High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor helps quickly deliver gorgeous, high-resolution images with nuanced details, plus impressive low-light performance with a low signal-to-noise ratio and minimal noise and distortion. The DIGIC 6 Image Processor provides improved light sensitivity for higher resolution with less noise in low light and Dynamic IS for distortion-free video. It powers continuous shooting and more. The Canon HS SYSTEM helps take beautiful low-light shots with minimal noise and impressive detail in highlight and shadow areas. |
4.2x Optical Zoom LensThe sharp and versatile 4.2x Optical Zoom lens features a 35mm equivalent range of 24–100mm. It has a bright maximum aperture of f/1.8 for low-light performance, a 9-blade aperture for beautiful, blurred background detail and is engineered to focus from distances as close as 2.0 in. Intelligent IS helps you capture clear, steady images. It automatically analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for the shooting situation, with icons clearly marking the image stabilization mode. |
Electronic ViewfinderThe high-definition electronic viewfinder features 2.36 million dots and a wide color gamut, providing a high-contrast, realistic and smooth edge-to-edge view for image composition, adjustment and review. Designed for sustained use, it delivers 100% image coverage, a refresh rate up to 120 fps (Smooth Mode) and a flexible information display for comfortable camera operation. Its 22mm eyepoint delivers excellent visibility, and a built-in eye sensor helps the camera transfer quickly between the viewfinder display and Live View on the LCD. |
Convenient ControlsDesigned for speedy operation while looking through the viewfinder, the PowerShot G5 X features a front dial situated on the front of the camera for operation with the index finger, a top-mounted, thumb-operated exposure compensation dial, a rear-mounted control dial plus a control ring around the camera's lens. Eminently customizable, each dial has an optimized operating torque that helps to identify it by feel, for sustained, intuitive and near-silent operation in quiet situations like weddings and performances. |

Vari-angle Touchscreen LCDFor composing photos and movies from any angle and for easy self-portraits, the PowerShot G5 X camera features a high-resolution, Vari-angle, touch-capacitive LCD screen that can not only tilt out and rotate up to 270°, but can also be turned around and closed when using the camera's electronic viewfinder or when the camera is not in use. Its touch-panel operation makes it simple to access quick control settings, focus and shutter release right on the screen. |
Full HD 60pThe PowerShot G5 X camera creates spectacular 1080p Full HD video. Set video capture to your shooting needs: 24p, 30p or 60p, with MP4 format available. Advanced audio includes expanded dynamic range and a better S/N ratio. Improved Dynamic IS significantly reduces shaking caused by handheld shooting.

I use Canon 5d's large frame cameras and "L" lenses in our commercial studio and on location on a daily basis. This is the closest thing to a "compact" (point n shoot?) that I've been impressed with. Yes. It is a more of a hybrid compact/dslr. But for me the viewfinder makes for better composition in daylight and the tilt screen a level of versitilty and the security of flipping it inward to protect it. The manual controls as displayed through the viewfinder remind me of the days of film, Nikon F1?.
I tested the camera in our studio. Hooked up a hot shoe trigger to our Alien Bees. No output to shoot tethered. Program mode. Autofocus. Raw. Post processed with Capture One Pro 9 and Photoshop Cs6. Shot with deep shadows and skewed to see depth of field.
Result? Clarity is awesome when cropped. Resolution is incredible for this 1" sensor. Canon's Digic processor is fast. Image stabilization is amazing and rock solid for handheld.
I also tested the Canon G9x and the G1x MKii under these conditions as well as video and location. The G5x is worth the money and will stay with me. Hopefully it will last as long or longer than my Olympus ZX-1 which is 6 years old and "was" state of the art when I bought it.

Image quality is excellent overall. While the lens tends to be not as consistently sharp as the Sony's across the board (this is to be expected given its longer range and equally faster aperture) it still is pretty decent, and much sharper than the lousy lens found in the G9X. Color is also great too, with excellent reproduction of skin tones. ISO performance is equal to other cameras with the Sony 1" sensors. You can get larger prints up to ISO3200 if you're willing to take some time to process the RAW files (which, like all Sony sensors are excellent to work with). It doesn't quite rise to the level of APS-C or even Micro 4/3rds but it still is much better than your average smartphone camera or low-end point and shoot. The camera also tends of overexpose a bit in bright conditions but the great thing is you have a manual exposure comp dial. I don't shoot a lot of video but found the video on this camera of decent quality.
Autofocus performance is good, not great. Single point autofocus works well, even in low light. But for any kind of action shooting, forget about it with this camera. It's really a camera which is better suited for landscapes and stationary subjects. This is one are where Canon needs to do some work.
Another inexcusable aspect of this camera is battery life and its small battery. Why Canon felt that such a small battery should go in such a powerful camera is beyond me. It's especially sad if you were a G16 owner and enjoyed the relatively long battery life that the chunkier battery in that camera provided. That said it should still get you through a day of shooting but not much beyond that.
The articulating LCD is bright and clear and a pleasure to use. I actually find myself using it more than the viewfinder. The EVF is nice and clear but a little on the small side. However, it's still nice to have in bright sunlight. And unlike the Sony, you don't have to pop it up first to use it. The eye detector is well tuned so it can't be fooled to switching to the viewfinder by something else other than your eye. One thing that also must be mentioned is that both the LCD and viewfinder offer exposure preview. This is great because you can see almost exactly what the image will look like on screen (or in the viewfinder) before taking it. While this is not exclusive to Canon (the Sonys have it too), this is a nice feature to have.
Overall the camera is designed well but I am not particularly fond of the front dial next to the grip. Although you can't really complain about extra control dials, its place adjacent to the hand grip makes it feel a bit awkward at first, until you get used to it. Outside of that, the control layout is pretty typical of most canon G series cameras. One change from the G7X (owing to its larger size) is that the exposure comp dial is separate from the control dial, making it less awkward to turn than its linemate.
So despite a few shortcomings, this is a great enthusiast point and shoot. While not exactly pocketable, you'd have a much larger kit if you tried to find a DSLR with this camera's lens specs. The sensor in this camera doesn't quite match an APS-C in overall image quality but in daylight situation, you'd probably have a hard time telling the difference. I think the main gripe I have is with the battery. Canon really should be providing a larger battery with this model.

Su construcción de primera calidad.
Small enough to put in a pocket.
Takes very good pictures and offers lots of features.
