PowerShot G9 Xby Canon
PROS
- Canon packs a strong and powerful 1-inch CMOS processor into the PowerShot GX 9's sleek and slender body.
- Although there is no viewfinder on the camera, and no D-Pad either, Canon provides a touch-screen display on the back.
- The camera contains a manual control ring around the lens, plus a standard mode dial on the top plate for access to aperture and shutter priority modes.
CONS
- It could take you some time to get used to the camera's unusual setup.
- Maximum aperture is low, meaning that image quality could suffer.
- Image quality might take a further hit from the camera's auto ISO, which leans toward high sensitivities and fast shutter speeds.

The Canon PowerShot G9 X is the latest of Canon’s premium compact cameras. Announced at the same time as the G5 X, it features the same one-inch type, 20.2 million pixel CMOS sensor as last year’s G7 X. Not a replacement for the G7 X, rather the G9 X sits just below it in the PowerShot line-up and could arguably be seen more as a successor to the PowerShot S120, which was similarly sized and shaped, but featured a much smaller 1/1.7 inch sensor.

The supreme pocketability of the G9X sets it apart from other 1-inch sensor compact cameras on the market. The small body doesn't appear to affect image quality and the G9 X produces vibrant and well saturated pictures.

The Canon Powershot G9 X is a compact and stylish digital camera that is designed to be small and pocketable whilst still delivering excellent image quality. Thankfully this is something the G9 X is highly capable of, with bright colourful images that pack in plenty of detail.

Pleased as we are with many of the G9 X's features, image quality takes a hit due to the limitations of that lens' maximum aperture. A little zoom and it's not long before f/4.9 is the maximum available. Couple that with an Auto ISO that seems keen to opt for higher sensitivities and fast shutter speeds - more than it ought to.

Fancy a compact capable of taking CSC-grade images that will easily fit in your pocket? In the past, the Sony RX100 series has been the go-to recommendation, but Canon has released an alluring alternative.

The PowerShot G9 X uses the same 20.2-megapixel 1-inch-type sensor and DIGIC 6 image processor as the G5 X, meaning it also has an ISO range of 125 to 12,800, a maximum burst speed of 6 fps and can shoot Full HD 1080p video at 60 fps. However, in a bid to be more compact and lightweight, some things have had to give.

Take a look at the market for fixed-lens cameras based around 1"-type image sensors, and you'll spot a trend. Ever since Sony created the market with the original RX100, way back in 2012, and these cameras have been putting on weight. Now, the Canon G9X is here to change all that.

Looking a lot like a cross between the G7 X and one of Canon's S-Series compact zoom cameras (most recently the S120), the G9 X features a modest 28-84mm F2.0-4.9 zoom lens but in a very slim, compact form factor. Like the G5 X, the G9 X features a built-in ND filter which can be activated via the camera's menu system.
