Review: Love this camera. Takes great pictures!
Review: I'm a part-time professional photographer, specializing mostly in portrait sessions (senior photos, engagement photos, kids, families, etc.). I consider myself an expert in technique and equipment. Artistically, however, I'm a decent amateur. I don't have the creative eye that many others do. But I know the rules of photography, and am familiar with all the latest technology and products from full-frame 35mm on down to inexpensive point and shoots. I believe I can give a fair and accurate review of the Canon G9x. The Canon G9x has what they call a 1-inch type sensor. That doesn't mean much other than it is a larger sensor than most point and shoot cameras. The sensor measures 13mmx8mm (rounded to the nearest whole number). This is fairly large for such a small camera. The largest benefit to having this larger sensor is that the camera will perform much better in lower light than a typical point and shoot or a cellphone. I mentioned a cell phone (such as the latest Apples, Androids, etc.) because these phones take excellent images and video. They are so good, in fact, that the point and shoot camera market is imploding. Sales are. Dropping significantly. The phone allows you to take the photo or video, edit it, and then save and share it...all from one device. What's not to love about that? I use an iPhone 6s Plus and am thrilled with it for my day-to-day needs. I also use a full-frame Canon 6D and assorted lenses for taking portraits or landscapes when I really want an incredible amount of detail, lots of color, and excellent control on depth of field (choosing which areas of the photo are in or out of focus). My 6D is a professional camera. But I don't enjoy bringing it on vacation unless I am traveling alone specifically for photography. So if my iPhone and my DSLR each cover my needs, why did I buy the Canon G9x? In simple terms: It takes good photos in a small package, like my phone, but allows me all the same control features of a DSLR. The results or which are pictures that exceed the quality of a cell phone, fall a little short of a DSLR, but brings theme both together quite nicely. Here's what you get with this camera that a phone cannot match (not yet..give it a couple more years). 1. The sensor is about the size of your thumbnail, unlike a cellphone that has a sensor half thee size of your pinky nail. This enables more light to get in. 2. The camera has an optical zoom that covers from 28mm to about 80mm. This is about the same range as the zoom lens that comes with most DSLRs. A typical Canon Rebel comes with a lens that is 18-55. When compared to the G9x, they both come out to pretty much 28-80mm of range. So the G9x has the width to get group shots and the reach for portraits. It's not going to help if your subject is very far away, however. This camera is for taking pictures of people and places, not birds, air shows, wildlife, etc. The camera can function automatically, like your cell phone, or you can go as manually as you want in various stages. My favorite setting is TV (time value) because I know my shots won't be blurry if I use a shutter speed that matches my subject. I let the camera choose aperture (which isn't very important on a point and shoot) and ISO. For those who want to control aperture, that feature is available as well. You can make anything manual or automatic. It's up to you. The camera can be set to automatically feed photos to your phone wirelessly while you're out and about. You can do it while you take each shot or spend a couple minutes transferring the photos to your phone or tablet while you sit down for a snack. No wifi is needed. The camera and phone communicate directly with each other. The setup process is quick, and the files transfer quickly. It can be quirky, but if you are patient with yourself and the gear you quickly learn how to undo the quirks. From my perspective, the linking of the camera to a phone seems to be monogamous. I believe you have to reset your wireless settings on the camera if you want to transfer to a different device. I found this out yesterday when my brough both my iPad and iPhone on a trip. But again, you'll get used to it and will have your pics on the phone in no time. Pocketability: This is a very small camera, much smaller than I thought it would be. I don't think anyone will be able to complain about it fitting in a pocket. It's really small. I am a 6.0 man with a very average build and average size hands. The camera is a little more than half the length of my hand. It's tiny. The thickness is more than your phone (about double the thickness of my iPhone 6splus. The lens adds another thickness similar to an iPhone, so to get an idea of how thick it is, put two iPhones in one pocket. I personally don't own any clothing that would be a problem. Skinny jeans might be an issue, but then your phone is probably only able to go in the back pocket of your skinny jeans. This would need a little bit of room. However, regular jeans are not a problem at all. It has a huge list of other features, of course, most of which a phone doesn't have or will fall short in ability: IS, flash, tripod support, sd card, zoom, zoom during video, shutter control, aperture control, iso control, and much more. Some will be disappointed that the camera doesn't have a movable screen (which helps while at concerts or anyplace you need to raise of lower the camera into odd angles). To me, I prefer NOT to have a movable screen. It keeps the camera thinner and is one less thing to break. Some will say the lens tightens up too much on the aperture when zoomed. This doesn't bother me because I'm not using it as a portrait camera and don't need a blurry background for my vacation photos. RAW: The camera can shoot in RAW mode (and jpg at the same time if you want), so that you can pull your files into photoshop or Lightroom, etc. to get the most out of your images when editing. Canon's native software (free) is also fantastic. Price: This camera is worth the price. I paid $399 and it came with a 32gb SD card. I imagine at some point the camera might be 350, but probably not until the end of summer 2016. Why the G9X, when there are other cameras that do so much more? The simple answer is that this is the least expensive of all the cameras with this size sensor. At the top end is the Sony RX100, mark 4. It's $950. It has a lot more features and can outperform the G9x in many ways, but it has the exact same size sensor. In 90% of situations the cameras will perform equally. But the Canon is 1/3 the price of the Sony, and it's incredibly small compared to the competition. If you can afford a couple hundred more, I would recommend going for the G7X or G7X mark II, but if you want a camera that won't make you feel guilt on the price, and one that you can truly put in your pocket, the G9X is a big winner. My biggest praise of this camera: It does extremely well in low light. I am thrilled with the photos I'm getting, and I'm confident I can take photos indoors and print them at 11x14 without a worry, and in good light could print poster size prints. It's a great camera, and the first point and shoot I've decided to keep. I purchased and returned several others because those tiny sensor on most point and shoots just don't get great quality photos in anything but perfect conditions. I really don't see how anyone can go wrong with this camera at the sub-400 dollar price.
