Five things help it to stand out from the 1in sensor pack. For starters, you’re not forced to settle with boring black. That’s the model that I was sent for review, but I’m much more enamoured by the silver and tan finish.More significantly, this is the s...
I'd have loved to see better battery life, nippier performance and slightly more to grip onto on the front of the camera. However, the concept is so strong that these drawbacks pale into insignificance. This is a camera that no one could complain is too h...

The G9 X is one of a pair of new compacts from Canon (the G5 X for review next week) that have the same 20 megapixel 1” sensors and processors in different body forms. The smaller G9 X has a 28—84mm (equivalent) f2—4.9 stabilised lens. The touch-sensitive...
The RAW image quality is excellent with decent quality up to ISO2500. The Digital Photo Professional 4 RAW converter automatically applies discreet noise reduction which doesn't blur fine detail. The sensor/processor does a good job of keeping detail in s...

To see the G9 X is to love it. It is a beautiful pieces of industrial design. The combination of silver metal and tan leather (both faux?) on the review camera is particularly attractive. Right now, with the cashback, the Australian price is remarkably co...

On the evidence of the Canon PowerShot G9 X it's time to wave goodbye to the company's older, small-sensor PowerShot cameras. Why? Because the G9 X packs a large 1-inch sensor size into a slender body, making a good case to out-and-out replace models such...

The G7 X makes a lot more sense, Auto ISO opts for high sensitivities, limited zoom range and max aperture, no tilt-angle screen, odd shutter position, no d-pad...
The Canon PowerShot G9 X is an accomplished compact camera, but one that feels like a fill-in for the company's wider 1-inch sensor range, not quite a knock-out product in its own right. It does show off some interesting work-in-progress ideas such...

Pursuing the goal of a genuinely pocketable camera with high resolution and superior performance to smart-phones and similarly-sized compact digicams, Canon's PowerShot G9 X competes head-to-head against Sony's RX100 cameras. It's smaller than the Sonys...

Canon PowerShot G9 X: Image quality Resolution: The G9 X gets about as much out of its 20MP sensor as possible, recording over 3500 l/ph at ISO 125 before succumbing to aliasing artefacts. But you'll only get this in raw; noise reduction smoothing limits...

The best case for the G9 X is that it is the most compact camera with a one-inch sensor out there. That's worth quite a bit, and for £415, it can hang with the competition. But if performance is really important to you, you simply must stump up the cash f...
