Last updated: June 9, 2017While most of new 1" sensor enthusiast cameras have been on the shorter end of the focal length spectrum, there are now quite a few long zoom models, as well. Whether you want something pocketable or want to shoot for the moon (p...

The Canon PowerShot G3 X price will be the biggest hindrance for most photographers. It's tough to justify such a high price tag for a fixed lens camera, when you can purchase a best DSLR camera for beginners and a couple of lenses for a similar or lower...

Compact cameras with large image sensors typically pack fixed focal length lenses. Think Fujifilm's X100T or the Leica Q. Meanwhile, cameras with incredibly long zooms are generally paired with smaller sensors. Canon's PowerShot G3 X falls into a third an...

Camera Review: Canon PowerShot G3 X...

The PowerShot G3 X delivers a nearly unprecedented combination of sensor size and zoom reach that almost none of the other advanced compacts on the market can match. It's a well built camera with solid image quality and great handling. If zoom reach is of...

When I first heard about the Canon PowerShot G3 X ($999), I fully expected that I was going to hate it. Could there really be a good reason for someone to buy a compact camera stuffed with a 25x (24-600mm equivalent) zoom lens? After all, how often does t...

While not every photographer is going to need the focal length versatility of the Canon PowerShot G3 X, it's a great option for travel shooters, those capturing sports from the bleachers, wildlife photographers, and anyone looking for a single, lightweigh...

The Long Zoom Compact category is probably the most diverse of any in our round-ups. Within it are three separate sub-classes of camera, all of which offer 8x optical zoom or greater (up to a whopping 83x). Broadly speaking, the cameras separate into the...

The Canon PowerShot G3 X ($999.99) is a fantastic idea for a camera. Its 25-600mm f/2.8-5.6 zoom lens can cover a very wide range of photographic subjects, from sweeping landscapes to skittish wildlife, and its 20-megapixel 1-inch image sensor puts the sm...

Long zoom range. 1-inch image sensor. Tilting touch-screen display. Framing assist function. Hot shoe supports add-on EVF and Canon Speedlites. Mic and headphone connections. Built-in ND filter. Sealed against dust and moisture. Wi-Fi.

Focus on the sluggish side. Slow burst rate when shooting Raw. Takes a while to turn on. EVF is a pricey accessory...

Canon's latest addition to the G-series of premium compacts adds an enormous 25x optical zoom (equivalent to 24-600mm) in front of a one-inch-type 20.2-Mpix back-illuminated CMOS sensor. Read on to find out how well this new model performs.Announced in th...

Despite the mixed sensor performance — dynamic range is excellent and on par with the best in its class currently — the somewhat lower-than-expected color sensitivity (and corresponding noise levels) is slightly puzzling. Be that as it may, the Canon rema...

The PowerShot G3 X sits above the G7 X in Canon's lineup of compact cameras, offering a much longer zoom range, tilting LCD screen and a hot shoe. We've been poring over the specification sheet for a while, and have prepared a quick run-down of its key fe...

Nikon's 28mm F1.4E ED appears to roundly complete the company's updated lineup of fast, professional prime lenses. We've already seen some initial images from a Nikon ambassador, but we've worked through a gallery of our own, with a lens of our own over t...

I'll start with the lens, a 25x optical zoom equivalent to 24-600mm with an f2.8-5.6 focal ratio. Behind this lies the same 1in type / 20 Megapixel sensor employed by the G7X, which I believe is also the same Sony sensor deployed in the FZ1000 and RX10 Ma...

The Canon PowerShot G3X is Canon's first big zoom, big sensor compact. Traditional super-zoom cameras have a lot to offer but, their typically small sensor size prompts many buyers to migrate upwards to a DSLR or mirrorless. The G3X's 1inch sensor isn't a...

While all three cameras include image stabilization, only Canon and Panasonic claim five-axis stabilization. (For the G3X, stabilization of roll is achieved electronically. Offhand, we're not certain if that's the case for Panasonic as well.) The Canon G3...

The Canon Powershot G3 X combines a 20 megapixels 1" CMOS sensor and a 25X optical zoom into a body the size of a typical prosumer ultra-zoom. While no small feat, Canon built the G3 X with a fully weather-sealed body, equipped it with dual control-dials...

The Canon G3X price, though, will place this fixed lens camera out of reach for quite a few photographers. If you can wrap your mind around paying more than $800 for a non- DSLR camera, then this model is worth a look, as it clearly resides near the top...

The Canon PowerShot G3 X price will be the biggest hindrance for most photographers. Being limited to only the one 25-600mm f/2.8-f/5.6 zoom lens is also a downside for some photographers. It's tough to justify such a high price tag for a fixed lens camer...
