Want DSLR-level results but don’t want to carry the camera and various lenses around? The compact PowerShot G5 X Mark II gives you stunning image quality while conveniently letting you carry it on any adventure. It has a 20. 1-Megapixel 1. 0-inch Stacked CMOS sensor and powerful DIGIC 8 processor for fast and gratifying results. The 5x Optical Zoom with image stabilization provides range and clear, steady images and video, while a built-in pop-up EVF lets you frame your subjects with ease. For variety, you can shoot 4K 30p or Full HD 120p video, be creative with Panoramic and Star Shooting Modes, and shoot continuously up to 20 fps (or 30 fps with RAW burst mode). With the PowerShot G5 X Mark II camera, quality and creativity doesn’t have to be left behind just because your DSLR was.

RTINGS

If you're looking for a fixed lens compact that's easy to take wherever you go, the best camera under $1,000 that we've tested is the Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II. This compact point-and-shoot is incredibly portable yet still feels very comfortable to shoot with, thanks to its small handgrip and thumb rest. It features a pop-up electronic viewfinder if you prefer not to use the screen, though it's very small and doesn't have the sharpest resolution.

It has a built-in lens with a 24&ndash;120mm full-frame equivalent focal length, giving you some range to zoom in on subjects that are a bit farther away. It also has a built-in neutral density (ND) filter, which can help with long exposure shots or let you shoot a wider aperture in bright conditions. It also has a very fast 16 fps burst rate to capture brief moments of fast action, though its image buffer is fairly small, and it takes a while to empty before you can continue shooting. Overall, the camera delivers very good image quality.

That said, it's not as well-suited to shooting in low light due to its smaller 1-inch sensor and disappointing RAW noise handling capability. The camera also has a limited battery life, though battery performance can vary with settings and usage habits, and it performs similarly to other compact cameras. Despite its faults, this is still a great fixed lens compact for those who don't want to spend over $1,000.

Consumer Reports

This powerful point-and-shoot takes very good photos and video. The 3x optical zoom lens has a bright f/2 maximum aperture, which can capture images even in dimly lit situations.  At 7 ounces (with battery, memory card, and strap included), the camera is lightweight, a big plus when you're hiking up a mountain or out choosing leafy greens at the local farm with a baby strapped to your back. In addition to the features referenced in the introduction to this story, the G9 X Mark II has a larger-than-average 1-inch sensor and a pop-up flash, both really handy when you're snapping pictures in those low-light situations.  There are, however, a few drawbacks. The model lacks the hot-shoe mount required for certain camera accessories and a viewfinder, which means you'll need to rely solely on the excellent touch-screen display to compose your shots. And the lens stops down to f/4.9 when zoomed in, making it more difficult to capture faraway subjects indoors and at night.

Digital Photography Review

The Canon G5 X II has a shorter, faster lens than the RX100 VII, giving the option of blurrier backgrounds and better image quality as the light level falls. It still manages to cover a versatile 24-120mm equivalent range.
The G5 X II produces very good photos, with good Raw image quality and JPEGs with the kind of color one expects from Canon. Video quality is reasonable, though since it lacks a mic socket, the G7 X III and RX100 VII are better choices for vlogging.
The design of the camera is very good, with a customizable, 'clicky' front control dial, dedicated exposure comp dial, flip-up touchscreen LCD and that handy EVF. It's responsive to use and its interface is simple and focused. On the negative side, the G5 X II's autofocus system which, while very good, just can't keep up with the RX100 VII. Battery life isn't great either, although the camera does support USB charging.

For those who aren't willing to drop a small fortune just for a point-and-shoot, the Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II offers a good balance of performance and features at a more palatable price. Like the Sony RX100 VII, it uses a one-inch sensor, so image quality isn't as good as large-sensor compacts like the Fujifilm X100V. However, it's still a step above most smartphone cameras, and you get a built-in zoom lens for versatile shooting, although its zoom range is shorter.

The camera's super portable and, like the Sony, has a little pop-up viewfinder for sunny days when the screen is harder to see. It doesn't have the best battery life, but most point-and-shoots are limited in that respect. Its autofocus system is also a lot less reliable as far as tracking faster-moving subjects. However, it's still a great pocket camera for the price, and its small handgrip makes it a lot more comfortable to shoot with if ergonomics are a priority for you.

If you don't have over a grand of change just lying around to spend on a large-sensor compact camera like the Fujifilm X100V or the Sony RX100 VII, there are more affordable options that'll still get you solid image quality. The Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II is one of the best in that category. It feels well-made and has some of the best ergonomics of any compact we've tested, with a surprisingly comfortable handgrip and thumb rest. It's got a tilting screen and, just like the Sony, has a little pop-up viewfinder, as well. Also, like the Sony camera, it uses a one-inch sensor that gives you better-than-average image quality.

The built-in lens is quite good. It can open up to a fairly wide aperture, and its 5x zoom is pretty versatile. The camera also has image stabilization and a built-in ND filter if you want to shoot at slower shutter speeds in bright lighting. The autofocus on this camera can be pretty sluggish and inaccurate, and battery life is limited. You'll get better AF and battery life with the higher-end Sony, not to mention a lens with twice as much zoom range. But if you're looking for something with a more affordable price tag, the G5 X is a very solid, versatile compact camera.

If you don't want to spend as much, the Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II is a great mid-range option. It's easily one of the most comfortable point-and-shoots we've tested, thanks to a nicely designed grip, which, along with Canon's intuitive menu and button layout, makes this camera a blast to shoot with. It also has a nearly identical pop-up viewfinder as the one found on the Sony RX100 VII, great for sunny days when it's harder to see the screen.

The built-in lens on this thing is also better than the Sony's when it comes to low light since it opens up to a wider max aperture, but the trade-off is a significantly shorter zoom range. Its autofocus system is also disappointing and struggles to track subjects quickly and accurately, so keep that in mind if you plan on shooting busy scenes or faster subjects. Otherwise, this camera still has a lot to offer travelers who want something compact and comfortable to shoot with.

  In the end, for $900.00 plus tax, it isn't a keeper. I'd prefer (for about the same price), Canon's SL3 SLR.  Other than size and the Digic 8 processor, the camera is not a stand-out

 This is the cameras highlight! The camera produces images quickly and without any sort of lag, no matter how hard you push it. Use a high-end SD card as well to marry that processor to the speed of a quality SD card.  The optical zoom is a 5X. Fair enough

  Photo quality was good but never amazing. Certainly not SLR like.  In the end, for $900.00 plus tax, it isn't a keeper

 Most users do not engage the digital zoom due to the negative impact in terms of reduced quality.  I did not purchase the camera for video so I do not have anything to share.  Photo quality was good but never amazing. Certainly not SLR like

OVERPRICED POINT & SHOOT

6 kit zoom it's this combination of quality in size. That makes one inch compact. So popular and why Canon carries so many in its range, unlike the g7 X Mark 3, which looks almost identical to its predecessor, the g5 x mark 2 has been completely redesigned. Here'S the original g5 x mark 1 on the left and the new g5 x mark 2 on the right, as you can see, canons dumped the mini DSLR design with its viewfinder hump, bigger grip and flip screen and gone for something much closer to Sony's

Hi, I'm Gordon from camera labs, and this is my first looks: review of canons power, shot g5x mark a high-end compact camera with a 20 megapixel one in sensor, a 5 x 24 to 120 millimeter zoom pop-up viewfinder, tilting touchscreen fast burst, shooting in 4k video announced In mid-2000 19, it comes three years after the original G 5x and adapts it's designed to become closer to Sony's popular rx 100 series. It costs 849 British pounds roughly similar to that of the Sony, rx100 5a and 130 pounds more than canons own g7 X. Mark 3, I had a chance to try out the g5 x mark 2 and learn more about it at an official Canon press preview. So in this video I'll tell you everything I know so far, but do keep an eye open for my full review, which will follow and go into way more detail

Canon G5X II HANDS-ON first looks review

 They also gain 120 frames per second slo-mo. Now, it's not the sharpest, but it's a great thing to have the thing. That'S really weird for me, when I'm talking about Canon cameras is one of the weakest things on this is actually the autofocus. This does not get the dual pixel autofocus that we see on canons, DSLR and mirrorless cameras, so the video autofocus, especially if you're on the long end and you've, got a subject moving towards you

 The autofocus is way better, better video I mean it just has better technology. However, it is way more expensive and that does have to be appreciated and that big price disparity brings me to the only thing that I think I would really change on the g5 x mark 2, because we have such a big price difference. I feel we could raise the price a little bit higher on this camera, but then get in a lot of the same features as we have on the g7 X Mark 3. Why do we to pick between the two? Why doesn't this have a mic jack as well as the g7x mark 3? This could easily also have that live streaming capability, and then that would make this a very compelling and very unique camera on the market

 Depending on your choice of settings and usage patterns, it also has short battery life.

The Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II is a compact zoom camera. It's comfortable to hold, highly portable, and delivers very good image quality out-of-the-box. It features a fairly useful pop-up viewfinder as well as an ND filter built into the lens, which gives you a bit of added flexibility in your choice of shutter speed or aperture when shooting in bright conditions, though we don't currently test this feature. However, its autofocus performance isn't particularly impressive in photography or video, and video quality in FHD and 4k is middling overall

Canon G5X Mark II Product Overview

8-2.8 design&mdash;it matches the angle of view of a 24-120mm zoom on a full-frame camera. It's not the longest zoom among pocketable models with the same 1-inch sensor type, but it's the longest we've seen that opens to f/1.8 at the wide end, bettering the 24-70mm f/1

 It's not the longest zoom among pocketable models with the same 1-inch sensor type, but it's the longest we've seen that opens to f/1.8 at the wide end, bettering the 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 Sony has used in several models and the 24-100mm f/1

The video toolkit here is pretty basic. The G5 X can record at 4K at 30fps&mdash;a firmware update is coming to add 24fps by the end of the year. It also supports 1080p at up to 120fps, so slow-motion playback is an option.

The lens covers an ample zoom range, opening up all the way to f/1.8 for low-light capture at its wide end, and offering up aperture control so you can get sharper landscape shots when you have plenty of light.

Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II Review

 I would definitely be interested in considering having a camera like this in my arsenal for trips, where I'm worried about bringing a full set up. Photos. Look good in RAW 20 megapixels should be plenty to print something out so it'd be curious to see with the satisfaction of catching your own food and the camaraderie that comes from hanging with good buds into places magical as the Olympic Peninsula.

Field Test: Canon PowerShot G5 X on the Olympic Peninsula

 The video was taken with the camera on tripod, controlled from my android phone via the wireless connection. The controls on this camera are very easy to use; one button push puts all the relevant functions on the touch screen, making it simple to access all the most important settings. Any conceivable manual control is at your fingertips, right down to flash compensation. This is not a cheap camera, but for image quality and control freaks like me it is a dream

 The digital zoom goes out to 20x, and I was really surprised by how good the image quality is - it produces very usable images at that range. Prior to this I always looked at digital zoom as useless unless you are photographing aliens getting out of a flying saucer and have to stay out of range of their ray guns. Of course it is not perfect. I wish it focused a little faster in still photo modes, but it's fine in most situations

The media could not be loaded. For those times when I don't want to carry my DSLR, this camera provides an excellent alternative. The image quality is excellent. I'm attaching two images taken in macro mode with fill flash, and one video

 The flash is well-balanced, and controlling the output where needed is very easy. The optical zoom is 5x, which is not a huge range but not bad either. The digital zoom goes out to 20x, and I was really surprised by how good the image quality is - it produces very usable images at that range.

Excellent Compact Camera

All-out speed and ultimate ease come together in the most powerful GoPro ever, HERO10 Black. The revolutionary new GP2 chip shoots 5.3K video with double the frame rate, 23MP photos, enhanced low-light performance and bar-shattering HyperSmooth 4.0 video stabilization in all modes. To simplify things, HERO10 is cloud connected—so the moment you charge it, your footage is automatically uploaded to the cloud.

The best action camera that we've tested is the GoPro HERO10 Black. Like its predecessor, this premium action camera is remarkably portable and well-built. It comes with a second front-facing screen that lets you monitor yourself through Live View for vlogging or taking selfies. You can easily mount it on any number of compatible action cam rigs and mounts, and it's waterproof to an advertised depth of 33 ft, so it's fit for watersports or underwater shooting.

It does an exceptional job smoothing out camera shake, thanks to its 'HyperSmooth' digital stabilization feature, though enabling it does incur a noticeable crop. It delivers okay video quality overall, relative to other cameras, but its upgraded processor gives it better low-light performance than previous iterations of the GoPro. It also offers a wide selection of frame rate and resolution options, including 1080p and 2.7k video at up to 240 fps, 4k video at up to 120 fps, and 5.3k video at up to 60 fps.

That said, it doesn't have any inputs or outputs aside from its USB-C port, which you can use to charge it or connect it to a PC. If you want to connect it to an external display over HDMI or attach an external microphone for better audio, you have to buy a GoPro Media Mod at an additional cost. Still, this camera's relatively impressive video quality, fantastic stabilization, and extensive frame rate options make it one of the best cameras for sports video that we've tested.

The GoPro HERO10 Black isn't just one of the best action cameras we've tested, but it's also one of the best cameras for YouTube vlogging. Though GoPros are best for capturing POV footage of action or sports, they also work very well as portable vlogging cameras when mounted to an extension pole or selfie stick. Models like this one and its predecessor, the GoPro HERO9 Black, also have a second front-facing screen that lets you monitor yourself in Live View while recording.

The camera's 'HyperSmooth' digital stabilization feature does an outstanding job smoothing out camera shake, though enabling it does incur a crop. It offers a ton of resolution and frame rate options, including 5k video up to 60 fps, 4k video up to 120 fps, and 1080p video up to 240 fps, so you can capture natural-looking footage or generate smooth slow-motion. It also has an improved horizon-leveling feature that can help keep videos steady when tilting the camera from side to side. Video quality is okay and marks an improvement over other action cameras in low light.

That said, its battery life tested slightly worse than some other GoPros we've tested, and it can overheat during longer recording sessions. It's worth noting, though, that battery performance and overheating risk can vary with your usage habits and choice of settings. It also lacks inputs aside from a USB-C port, though you can purchase a 'Mod' from GoPro to add additional inputs and functionality. All in all, this is one of the best vlogging cameras you can get for action videos or if you're just looking for something super portable.

If you're looking for a portable action camera, the best camera for YouTube videos that we've tested is the GoPro HERO10 Black. This mountable action cam is incredibly portable, and you can attach it to any number of objects and mounts for unique POV action footage. It's advertised to be waterproof to a depth of 10 m, and it has a front-facing screen that you can use for Live View to monitor yourself as you record.

It supports a ton of frame rates and resolutions, including 1080p and 2.7k up to 240 fps, 4k up to 120 fps, and 5.3k up to 60 fps, allowing you to capture everything from high-speed action footage to slow-motion. Its video quality is reasonably good, particularly when compared to other action cameras, and its new processor gives it improved low-light performance over its predecessor, the GoPro HERO9 Black. Its digital stabilization feature also does a fantastic job smoothing out camera shake.

That said, the camera doesn't have any inputs aside from its USB-C port, which means you have to purchase a 'Media Mod' from GoPro at an additional cost if you want an HDMI port and directional mic for better audio. Its battery life is also mediocre, though it supports USB charging, and you can keep using it while it charges. All in all, this is one of the best action cameras we've tested, and it's a great choice for YouTube content creators and sports vloggers.

Action cameras are a great option if you want 4k video in a more portable and rugged package, and the best action camera we've tested for 4k video is the GoPro HERO10 Black. This premium action camera is sturdy and well-built, and it's waterproof to an advertised depth of 33 ft. You can easily mount it to any number of action cam rigs and mounts or simply use it with a stick or tripod. It also features a front-facing screen with Live View, making it a great option for vloggers who prefer a simpler setup.

It supports several frame rate and resolution options, including 4k at up to 120 fps, so you can easily capture smooth action footage or incorporate slow-motion sequences into your videos. If you like, you can also record video in 5.3k at up to 60 fps or 1080p at up to 240 fps. The camera's 4k video quality is fairly good overall, especially compared to other action cameras. It performs relatively well in low light, thanks to its upgraded processor. There's also no recording time limit, which is great.

That said, the battery life on this camera is unremarkable. It lasts for approximately 80 minutes of video recording, which isn't bad but may not be enough for long days of shooting. However, battery performance can also vary drastically depending on your usage habits and settings. Overall, this is one of the best action cameras we've tested, and its relatively good video quality and high 4k frame rates make it a great choice for 4k action video.

The best action camera that we've tested for under $500 is the GoPro HERO10 Black. It's a premium action cam that improves upon its predecessor in a few ways, including an all-new processor for faster overall performance. It feels incredibly well-constructed, with a rugged body that's advertised to be waterproof up to a depth of 33 feet. Like the GoPro HERO9 Black, it features a front-facing screen with Live View, so you can monitor yourself while recording vlogs or taking selfies.

GoPro's digital video stabilization feature does an exceptional job smoothing out camera shake, whether you're recording in 4k or 1080p, although enabling it does incur a noticeable 1.36x crop. That said, the camera offers a ton of frame rate and resolution options, including 5.3k at up to 60 fps, 4k at up to 120 fps, and both 2.7k and 1080p at up to 240 fps, meaning it can capture high-quality fast-action footage or generate smooth slow-motion video.

While its video quality is okay for an action camera, it performs poorly in low light due to its small sensor. It also doesn't have any inputs aside from a USB-C port, so if you want to connect an auxiliary microphone or connect it to an external display via HDMI, you have to purchase a GoPro Media Mod at an additional cost. Still, this is a premium, feature-rich action camera and the best GoPro that we've tested.

Of the action cameras we've tested, the best camera to video sports with is the GoPro HERO10 Black. This premium action camera is perfect for capturing sports thanks to its high frame rate options and digital stabilization feature. It's also advertised to be waterproof to a depth of 33 feet, and you can easily mount it on any number of action camera mounts or objects, including helmet and chest rigs.

Like the GoPro HERO9 Black, this model has a second front-facing screen that lets you monitor yourself while recording through Live View. It can shoot in several resolutions and frame rate options, from 1080p at up to 240 fps to 4k at up to 120 fps and even 5.3k at up to 60 fps, meaning you can shoot high-res action video and smooth slow-motion. The camera also does an exceptional job smoothing out camera shake in both 4k and 1080p thanks to its 'HyperSmooth' digital image stabilization feature, though it incurs a noticeable crop on your videos.

Unfortunately, it doesn't come with too many mounting accessories in the box, and it only has a USB-C port. If you want to connect an auxiliary microphone for better audio or connect it to an external display for playback over HDMI, you need to purchase a GoPro 'Media Mod' at an additional cost. Still, this is one of the best cameras for sports that we've tested, thanks to its excellent action video performance and dense feature set.

The GoPro HERO10 Black is the latest flagship action cam from GoPro. It's reliably well-built, comes with a ton of frame rate options, and has an upgraded processor over its predecessor that's advertised to give it improved low-light performance. On top of its sturdy construction, it's also waterproof to an advertised depth of 33 feet and has a front-facing screen that lets you monitor yourself in Live View while recording.

It's the most capable GoPro yet, with 5.3k video recording up to 60 fps, 4k video up to 120 fps, and 2.7k and 1080p video at up to 240 fps, so you can easily capture high-res slow-motion footage as well as regular smooth action video. Its digital image stabilization feature reduces camera shake incredibly well for handheld recording, although it does incur a noticeable 1.36x crop. The overall video quality is also better than most action cameras we've tested, particularly when it comes to low-light recording.

That said, its battery life is unremarkable and falls a bit short of older GoPro models we've tested, though battery performance can also vary depending on a lot of different factors, including settings and environmental conditions. It can sometimes overheat and shut down when recording continuously for longer periods. Despite that, however, this is still a fantastic all-around action camera thanks to its wide range of frame rate options, durable build quality, and stabilization performance.

Wirecutter

The Hero10 offers even higher frame rates, better stabilization, and a smoother interface than the Hero9, but costs a lot more money.
