and ChargingTiny compact cameras with (relatively) large sensors and small batteries lack stamina. We averaged 350-400 shots with flash off 75% of the time (it really wasn't needed given the wide lens and BSI sensor). That's better than the 210 shot rati...

This is where things get interesting! It's over two years since Sony shook up the compact camera market by putting a 1"-type sensor into a genuinely pocketable compact. The Cyber-shot RX100 looked a lot like one of Canon's S-series of high-end compacts bu...

With a time-tested 1" BSI-CMOS sensor and an impressive 24-100mm F1.8-2.8 lens, the PowerShot G7 X produces excellent quality photos. Although the ergonomics won't suit everyone and battery life isn't as good as some competitors, the G7X is well suited to...

Although not the first large sensor compact from the firm, the GX 7 is the first Canon compact to debut a 1-inch type sensor to rival the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 series. This 20Mpix BSI CMOS unit is paired with a fast 24-100mm f1.8-2.8 stabilized zoom and f...

The G7 X has a high-speed lens with the widest range that sets it apart from the RX100 series. If the 24-70mm lens on the RX100 III is enough though the Sony is the better specified of the two, but then that's reflected in the steeper price. Although it w...

Size-wise, the G7X is more along the lines of the PowerShot S series, which was generally considered to be the world's best compact camera before the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 debuted. And it's pretty obvious that Canon is dead set on recapturing the crown, b...

The PowerShot G7X is Canon's answer to Sony's RX100 series. Canon's taken the same 20 Megapixel 1in sensor (delivering a big upgrade in image quality over typical phones or compacts) and squeezed it into essentially the same sized body. The big difference...

The Canon G7x is a bit of an odd duck–while the company for many years has chosen to carve their own path for their products, the G7X is billed as being the little sibling to the G1X Mk II. But at the same time, it comes off as a nod to Sony's RX100 serie...
