Exaggerate much? Looks like a workhorse.
to me it looks "pseudo retro". Which is the worst thing possible for me. Like Nikon Df. On analogue cameras those knobs, levers and wheels and their arrangement had a specific purpose. Design did follow function. Not here.
That said, I wish Canon had stuck that EVF into a fully competitive EOS M4 rather than into a powershot!

The knurled dials actually have significant function in Canon's G-series. They enable excellent function while in a water housing - allowing for rapid manipulation of settings under water and in surf. They give a positive engagement that gives the user an ability to watch the environment rather than the camera.

I wouldn't. But I recognize I am in the minority.

I understand that you didn't realize that A6000 is a bit bigger than G5X, and it also has a smaller screen.AvTvM said:Have to disagree here. Ugly hump on top not needed vor EVF. Can easily be built into camera. Even with additional functionality like 90 degree swivel viefinder. If Canon is not innovative enough to figure it out, they should just look at how Sony implemented it on the A6000.

I wouldn't agree that the A6000 has a good position for an electronic viewfinder. Besides the A6000 being slightly bigger etc. Sony themselves with A7's their more high end have it central so they must think its a better position.AvTvM said:Hector1970 said:I don't think it's ugly, it looks like a camera.

and an M mount would make a desirable camera.

Yes, it looks too much like a Sony...

What Sony mirrorless are you referring to?

Probably a reference to sony A7 styling which also has an ungainly hump on top - but overall not as ugly and disproportionate as G5X.
I was referring to the excellent design of Sony A6000 and RX100 series, especially Mk. iII and IV. I want a rangefinder-type styling - with EVF not in central hump but left top corner. Basically a cross between EOS-M3 (i like the good grip up front) and Sony A6000 (EVF top left).
