    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.

    Features:

    20.2 MP1 CMOS Sensor

    A 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 Lens

    The 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 Viewfinder

    The 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 Controls

    Designed 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.

    Built-in Hot Shoe

    The PowerShot G5 X camera's hot shoe enables expanded operations for advanced photography. It's compatible with all Speedlite flashes for the EOS System, so bounce flash and multiple-flash photography is easy to achieve. Whether attaching a Speedlite flash or the Remote Switch RS-60E3 for long exposures or night scenes, the PowerShot G5 X's hot shoe can help provide shooting opportunities far beyond the scope of most compact cameras.

    Vari-angle Touchscreen LCD

    For 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 60p

    The 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. Manual controls (Av, Tv and ISO) can be set prior to and during shooting, with Manual Focus also available. Shoot to commercial specifications with HDMI Live Out and an advanced tripod socket.

    Wireless Connectivity

    Built-in Wi-Fi technology and the Canon Camera Connect app2 help transfer photos and videos to and from compatible devices, upload directly to various web services, shoot remotely and more. Built-in NFC technology3 means direct connection to compatible devices by touching the NFC icon on the camera to the device.

    A Mobile Device Connect Button provides one-touch access through the Image Sync function, which lets you wirelessly transfer files through CANON iMAGE GATEWAY4, and view and download them from your smartphone5.

    Star Mode

    With just a tripod and simple settings, you can capture exquisite Star Nightscapes, Star Trails and Star Time-Lapse Movies. 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.

    Canon PowerShot G5 X Digital Camera with 4.2x Optical Zoom, Built-in Wi-Fi and 3 inch LCDI 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.I am a professional commercial photographer and not a "reviewer".[...]
