​The original Canon PowerShot was one of the best-selling DSLR cameras. The new Canon PowerShot G7 X may be one of the better vloggers cameras.



Basic Features of the Canon PowerShot G7 X



With the Canon PowerShot G7 X, you get a powerful CMOS sensor and the DIGIC 6 image processor, to produce sharp images and videos. You also get the following features:



20.2MP CMOS sensor

Three-inch touchscreen LCD viewfinder

WiFi and NFC connectivity

Wide range zoom lens



The PowerShot G7 X has a 24-100mm f/1.8 to 2.8 lens. This allows you to shoot macro shots as close as five centimeters. You can also get wide angle shots.



Customizable Manual Controls



While the Canon PowerShot G7 X includes a three-inch touchscreen LCD viewfinder, you can also change most of the camera settings using the manual controls. The controls are on the back and top of the body and feature customizable options.



You can easily change the aperture, ISO, speed, flash, and focus without needing to access the controls via the digital viewfinder.



Pros and Cons of the Canon PowerShot G7 X Camera



The Canon PowerShot G7 X features amazing image processing, allowing you to capture exceptional images and videos. The image processor helps minimize noise and distortion, providing you with a greater dynamic range.



Another advantage is the viewfinder. It has a resolution of over one million pixels, providing an accurate view when composing your shots. The screen is crisp, clear, and glare-free.



The autofocus on this camera is also great. While it only includes 31 autofocus points, you can focus on a subject with a single touch of the LCD viewfinder. You can also allow the autofocus system to automatically detect the subject.



While the autofocus system is great, some people have noticed that it is slower compared to the AF systems in other digital cameras. This is not a major issue, but it may take slightly longer to compose your shots.



The PowerShot also has a relatively small rechargeable battery. You may find yourself recharging the camera frequently.



Why Should You Choose the Canon PowerShot G7 X?



The main reason to choose the Canon PowerShot G7 X is the versatility of the controls. You can customize the manual controls so that the settings you change more frequently are easily available.



The camera also records quality video, thanks to the powerful CMOS sensor. However, if you plan on using this camera for location shooting, you may not enjoy the shorter battery life.
