sensor whose size is 1 inch for better image quality.
This new Canon Powershot G9 X has a 20 megapixel CMOS sensor
whose size is relatively large for what tend to mount the compact cameras. In
any case, it is also equipped with WiFi and NFC connectivity. The body is
manufactured using metallic materials, which makes it strong enough and gives
us a good sense of construction. It is available in two colors, silver, and
black.
One of its highlights is the design, because by having a
handle with the effect of leather, and manual controls, resembles more in
usability to a mirror or evil to itself a compact. To finish this little
summary noted that it also has a 3-inch touch screen and a control on the lens
wheel.

Analysis of Canon
Powershot G9 X
Design
With a size that fits quite well within the compact segment,
this Canon Powershot G9 X has a pretty serious design, which generally gives us
a feeling of care product and quality. It has a series of rugged panels on its
front and rear, which in addition to giving you a very characteristic touch
made that its grip will be reinforced.
It is available both in black and silver, having this latest
model details in Brown that leaves us a set quite attractive. The dimensions
are 98x57x30mm, counting with a total weight of de209 grams, making it light
enough in hand.
In terms of the different controls available, the general
trend is simplicity but nevertheless resigns to having a large number of
configurable parameters. At its top has a wheel of modes, also of the typical
shutter button. This same button makes in turn on zoom, playback of files and
power control.
At the back, we find the dedicated video recording button.
The three remaining buttons give us access to the different menus, although it
should be remembered that this task can be facilitated through the use of the
rear 3-inch touchscreen.
If we move to the goal, find a ring to his around whose
function is aimed to facilitate us focus manually. However, you can opt for the
autofocus mode as expected.
Features
The slow optical 3 x zoom that has, has a 28mm to 84 mm
equivalent It is relatively bright since it has an opening of up to f/2.0 at
the start of the zoom and f/4.9 at the end. As a noteworthy point, we find its
image stabilizer optical, which will be of great help not only for video
recording but also in capturing images in low-light situations. The stabilizer
is integrated with the lens.
This Canon Powershot G9 X has many similarities with the
Canon Powershot S120 through your zoom has been slightly reduced. That, in a
nutshell, we have more or less equal, since the de facto of the new sensor cut
equals the difference.

The Canon Powershot G9 X is one of the cameras with sensor
BSI CMOS of 1 inch smaller that we can currently find on the market. In this
sense, the position with the Panasonic Lumix CM1 is disputed.Its size makes it
ideal to take it from one place to another and to save it in the pockets of a
cowboy without a problem. Its portability and lightness are one of their big
points.
As we have already reported in the part of design, this
Canon Powershot G9 X has a series of fairly full manual controls for a compact.
She has numerous scene modes (including HDR mode) as well as a large number of
effects and filters.
Obviously, the auto mode is that more use. But not a pretty
important detail overlooked, and is that it does not save our shots in RAW format,
something that is not very common in the compact, although in this price range
each time we can find in more models. The rate of fire is going until the 6
when we make use of the JPEG mode.
