Canon may be the market leader in camera sales, but that doesn't mean it's always got the latest and greatest. Though Canon's G-Series cameras were easily the best point-and-shoots a few years ago, the Sony RX10 and the Panasonic FZ1000 have stolen the sh...

The Canon G3 X is one of those cameras that just draws you in as soon as you lay eyes on it; it intrigues you. Square and stocky, it's not a camera to go unnoticed, and if you thought the G1 X Mark II was bulky, the G3X is even more so. But the extra bulk...

The Canon Powershot G3X is a “bridge” camera with a very long zoom range – 24—600mm in film terms. The 20mp 25mm sensor has established a good reputation in a number of cameras. The lens is effectively image stabilised and has a button on the barrel to hi...

Image quality, especially in RAW, is good. Obviously the best pictures are taken when the zoom is set in its middle range, but with care the quality at 600mm is better than acceptable. If anything there is a slight over-sharpening which results in moire interference in fine detail such as bird feathers...
The absence of an eye level viewfinder at this price is puzzling. It is not possible to hold a camera at arm’s length and keep it steady with a lens zoomed to 600mm. The theoretically optional EVF is, in fact, essential. The LCD does not perform well in bright sunlight, making it difficult to check framing, focus and exposure...
This camera is too big too big to be a compact that fits a pocket or bag. It is too expensive for the casual user. It is under-featured for a serious amateur. It has one selling feature, the incredibly long zoom, but the image quality at 600mm is not good...
