Canon PowerShot G5 X and G9 X added to studio comparison, real-world G9 X gallery published
Canon's PowerShot G9 X and G5 X offer two distinctly different shooting experiences, but are based around the same 20.2MP 1"-type sensor. The G5 X provides an SLR-style grip and an EVF with a 24-100mm equiv. F1.8-2.8 lens, while the smaller S-series-esque G9 X offers a 28-84mm equiv. F2.0-4.9 lens. We've had our hands on them long enough to put them through our standard studio scene testing.
