Canon G7X Real World Review
My full review with sample images is below -

The TLDR version -
I'm impressed! The G7X is a very capable camera which is easy to use, produces good quality images and has a solid set of features. It has its niggles, mostly around the useability of the rear screen, and the life of individual batteries isn't great but none of these are showstoppers. The most important features are usability & image quality and the G7X delivers in both regards. If you are looking for a top-end compact camera then the G7X is fantastic. Highly recommended!
If you're trying to choose between this and the RX100-3 keep an eye on my site - I'll be doing a head-to-head test of both cameras and publishing the results soon!
The G7X is about £449 in the UK or S$799 in Singapore.
Pros
- Great handling & manual controls (esp. the dedicated exposure compensation dial!)
- Extremely good image quality for its size
- Best-in-class lens with impressive focal length range & wide aperture
Cons
- Rear screen hard to use in bright sunshine, touchscreen lacks a lock & only tilts 180 degrees
- Manual focus isn't great, especially in low-light conditions
- Worse-than-average battery life
20 megapixels • 3″ screen • 24 – 100 mm (4.2×)
