Review - Canon PowerShot G5 X by PhotographyBLOG

[Canon Rumors]

I’m heading to Asia for just over 6 weeks during the winter months and I’m looking for a point and shoot backup to the Leica M-P kit that I’ll be bringing. The brand new Canon PowerShot G5 X looks to be a serious competitor to make its way into my bag. I love the EVF and the price and I will likely make my purchase decision soon.</p>
<p>PhotographyBLOG recently completed their review of the camera, and came away pretty impressed, saying:</p>
<blockquote><p>In summary, the PowerShot G5 X is the best prosumer pocket camera that Canon have released of late, with lots of strengths and only a few weaknesses, making it a serious player in the serious compact market… <a href="http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/canon_powershot_g5_x_review/" target="_blank">Read the full review</a></p></blockquote>

Yes, I figured. But Ugh, it is having to wade through their info to get to systems you are interested in.
I guess as long as it helps to keep the lights on at the factories/R & D division.

I love this beast however, it is too small for my hands. It's like a mini tank and in a larger format (sensor and body) I would love to haul this around.

lol I still can't believe Sony wants $950 for that thing. I mean I literally cannot believe it. Meanwhile the Canon equivalent is $600 or $750 for EFV and all the extra knobs and dials.

I'm really glad they brought back the articulated LCD that I had on my G11. I love being able to flip it over and close it.
