Of course a great heap of his old redundant hand me downs are available if you can fathom out what they actually do and do not do. An articulating screen would be impossible to fit into this form factor, and using it on such a tiny camera would be frustrating. 
Does this Canon uses Sony's the famous 1" sensor from the RX100 xx series? Anyone who actually studies photography knows why a viewfinder is key and cannot be replaced by a rear LCD. LOL! This doesn't really break any new ground, but I do like the fact you get a pretty fast ( f1.8-2.8) lens with a 5x zoom. ".the G5 X Mark II cannot compete with the best of its peers when it comes to autofocus and video.". Now the thing with the AF. Sooo.. And contrary to what a few people claim, I'm NOT a Sony fan. lee100 polariser powershot revealed there's nothing shabby about the clip on EVF it works well. My problem with Canon is that they're too reserved, too guarded. Otherwise you are comparing apples to oranges, like comparing a Canon RP with a Sony A7RIV, right? For a small camera, we find the grip to be generous and secure, and the updated processor combines with the new sensor for some seriously responsive performance. In fact, the Sony is the only small camera I've owned with AF on par with my DSLRs. So for the LX10, the G5 X II could be an upgrade, especially as the LX10 lacks the viewfinder and it's autofocus also is not great despite of DFD. Still find it stupid the canon lost the hotshoe, fully articulating screen and the sturdy EVF. I also use it for low shots - it saves lying on the ground. How does Laowa's latest full-frame lens perform? There's nothing ostensibly "good" about weaker AF. Comparing as shot with the same EV. Perhaps you have a very patient family who will stand around with patience holding a posed smile. Generally, family photography, particularly with kids, is erratic; the less you fumble w/ the camera, the easier it is to snap the moment. @Minos82, that is astoundingly backward thinking. Touch was available, but sometimes the icons were too small to accurately touch. sdm powershot mark ricoh 
The only things I see the G5 mk II has over the Sony RX100 VI/VII, is superior noise control (RAW), the noise is much better at ISO 3200 with smaller grain and less colour noise, the lens is nice and fast and fairly good all over the frame and it has a grip. 
I have a Question about the G5X II jpeg image Quality (at the final scoring bars). Canon GX 5 mk IIAfter three months of useI still find that this camera offers the most pleasant feeling in hand and best control set up (specialy the wonderfully responsive touch sceen) that Ive ever had in hand.BUTBeing accustomed to the look of the pictures coming out of my Fuji cameras, specialy the X-T30, Ive come to admit that not one single picture I took with the GX5, happened to struck me. Here the G5X II scored fairly low due to poor noise reduction. What does Canon have against these screens?
This is BS. Variances in low light ability, corner sharpness and overall operational speed DO make a difference. Use to shoot and print Raw. As I said, I'd love to see Canon or Nikon jump in and top Sony. For someone who wants a more well-rounded camera, the GRIII would have less to offer and less value. Sensor size is the same. I disagree, I checked the ZS100 against the G5X II in the DP Review comparator and the ZS100 lens is nowhere near as sharp. That's when I'm going to shoot with a FX camera and top tier glass. Even on standard, it was too easy to make wrong selections. ? In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting landscapes, and recommended the best. 1) The Canon and Sony sensors, relative to ISO noise handling, are the same. Besides, you gotta wait for the lens to extend anyway. They are completely useless. I'd wait to read a few more reviews but my criticism was less about the RX100 VII than about the VI, which I tried and didn't find to be the best. Have a look at the aperture chart here: https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canon-powershot-g5-x-mark-ii-review/2. My wife used it to shoot a 3 day rally for medicare-for-all and returned with over 300 shots and ONE was out of focus. In terms of performance, the rx100 series are the reference cameras in the compact camera segment since 2012, despite their high price and other companies' attempts at challenging that. Canon wants the most people to buy their cameras. Not if you want to capture candid moments. Our current protocol was designed around interchangeable lens cameras. I am interested in doing long star time lapse photos in the backcountry. Don't agree.
"Of course and we don't need a sharp lens because we can also add sharpness. It might be nearly a decade old, but Nikon has released a firmware update to fix a live view problem its D7100 has when connected to a computer. Weve chosen cameras that can take great photos and make it easy to get great looking video, rather than being the ones youd choose as a committed videographer. Inexperienced amateurs are the primary market for finderless cameras. False. Canon Australia has provided 10 of its EF 400mm F2.8 L IS II lenses to Macquarie University, Sydney, to build the Huntsman Telescope, a 'first of its kind' array in the southern hemisphere that studies faint, distant galaxies. But the lens difference and the AF difference make the cameras quite different beasts. The G5 X Mark II looks, in many ways, to be a near-ideal travel or family camera for enthusiast photographers that like having a dedicated camera with them at all times - does it live up to this promise? Just a few. DP Review really needs to look at functional design details like this. A zoom range of 24-120mm was exactly what I'm looking for. TBH, a 1" sensor isn't really going to cut it in low light, but these kinds of cameras are good when the light is good. Just wondering though why the score in the conclusion for 'Low light/high ISO performance' is so low given the fast lens and good high ISO performance in your test scene? Reducing color saturation a little bit also reduces the level of chroma noise at high ISO.
DPReview TV: Sensor sizes don't make any sense. Canon has released a trio of firmware updates that add new and improved features and functions to its EOS R3, R5 and R6 full-frame cameras. You just track and shoot, which is great for a small form factor. Learn from them Sony. However, that camera scored lower in Metering & Autofocus than the G5X II.
The ISO is almost identical on the Canon vs. Sony. The professional video editor includes cloud tools, improved editing features, better performance and much more. Moving away from the product itself I'd criticize Sony for milking their customers, bringing once again two expensive models in a raw, the new one fixing the shortcoming of the older one.
In other words I hate it but I love the pictures coming out of it. It's a serious flaw that renders the camera unusable (at least when the vanes don't fully open).
Imagine what you could get in the mFT world for that. I've been using the Google Pixel derived "gcam" camera app on my old LG V20, and I've been amazed at some of the results I've gotten when using good photography technique. Mountain driving? But for it to be meaningful, we'd also have to shoot the scene at different zoom ratios, since most compacts (and smartphones) are variable aperture over the zoom range. Check out our sample gallery and let us know what you think of its image quality. Micron's next-generation 232-layer NAND has started shipping. 1) The comment about the AF is dead wrong. But what I realized is that the camera is just to fidigity and sensitive for my tastes. Perhaps true if you only look at specs. It's small, inexpensive and incredibly wide. I know it's kinda apples and oranges, but the GRIII is a niche camera that performs exceptionally well where it counts, while the G5X II seems just adequate in more areas. Daily Overview's Ben Grant, known for creating prints from satellite imagery, has started creating aerial timelapses, including this one from Dubai. "Canon has decided that 24p video recording is unnecessary"Frankly, 24ps recording is an "advanced video feature" for me that I do not care about.The vast majority of users interested by this camera will watch their videos on a 60fps monitor or 50/60fps TV. A data recovery expert in Poland, Enter Serwis, has shown off how they use a Spider Board to recover data from a non-functioning memory card. In the comparing DPR bars the sony RX100IV JPEG is better then this canon. ricoh powershot jabber fujifilm x100v 110mm powershot Lens performance looks to be streched to the limit in order to provide more zoom.4. @MrHollywoodThe only element in the Sony game is AF.The problem competing with the RX100 is it like fighting a many headed hydra. And I would expect a bigger sensor if we really talk about DOF control. spider-mario,I totaly agree with you. Interesting. I've handled this camera (and my RX100 II) MUCH more than the Canon and never had a problem. Because at the image level, you'll be just fine with a smartphone. I agree, to an extent, though the f stop difference can be an advantage in certain conditions. "If you could not get a sharp result 1/60 at 200mm, you either have poor technique or a bad camera. It uses a sony sensor.3. Just trying to get an explanation for that. The scores are to be seen relatively to the standard/expections at the time of the review, so scores from 2016 and 2019 can not be directly compared. as opposed to what? This summer we've been out to the Mojave Desert 3 times. The possibilities are infinite. I just returned this camera. Okay, maybe not clearly (that chart not starting at 0 is somewhat misleading). Sony should put a lens like this on an RX100 model. Canon colors/WB are also more accurate. Shooting outdoors, as I often am, I'd be lost without evf. Increase the size of the display Canon. yashica digifilm y35 powershot well, obviously the Canon will have more DOF control until 120mm, and then the difference in bokeh won't be big if compared to TZ100 or TZ200, while offering more reach. Absolutely a matter of taste. Today people is taking too much picture instead creating photos.
Even my wall chargers cannot charge my G5XII. The 24-70mm equivalent lens on my RX100 is pretty limited, and picking up 70% more reach without losing the ND filter or the wide aperture is amazing! The ergonomics and menus of the Sony take an hour or two to adapt to and I added a grip to mine. Text in the "Body, controls and handling" section sort-of indicates that. The only time I find AF tracking useful is when shooting bursts. powershot g5 canon gfx100
