DSLR-Like Capability in a Compact Camera

The Canon PowerShot G5 X combines superb image quality with a feature packed and tactile compact camera body. A range of manual controls and an impressive OLED electronic viewfinder make this the perfect everyday camera for professionals and advanced photographers who want DSLR-like handling and comfort.

Fantastic Image Quality

Fantastic image quality is achieved thanks to the back-illuminated 1.0” CMOS Sensor with a high resolution 20.2 Megapixels and Canon’s DIGIC 6 image processor. Produce stunning results with beautiful clarity, detail and tonality thanks to this powerful combination.

Versatile 24-100mm Equivalent Optical Zoom Range

A versatile 4.2x optical zoom lens offers a wide-angle to short telephoto range of 24-100mm (35mm equivalent) – it’s well equipped to photograph almost any subject matter from your travels and landscape, to portraits and group photos. Document all your favourite memories.

Keep Shooting in Low-Light Scenarios

Shooting gorgeous ambient low-light photos becomes easy with the bright f/1.8-2.8 aperture range and the Intelligent Image Stabilisation (IIS) technology. Keep shooting late into the night with a top sensitivity of ISO 12800, and whenever it gets too dark, the integrated pop-up flash can provide additional illumination.

Selective Focus Control with Bright F/1.8-2.8 Aperture Range

The fast aperture provides users with access to selective focus techniques, particularly at the telephoto end of the lens. A 9 bladed aperture ensures that a smooth out-of-focus rendering is produced.

Fast Continuous Shooting

Never miss a beat thanks to the 5.9 fps continuous shooting speed which rivals DSLR cameras. Powered by a 31-point Autofocus System it’s perfect for capturing sequences of fast moving action and sports, or finding the decisive moment.

High Resolution Integrated Electronic Viewfinder

Ensure every frame is accurately composed with the 2.34m-dot electronic viewfinder, which offers a beautiful window for critical viewing, especially in harsh lighting conditions. The 100% frame coverage and smooth refresh rate of 120 fps ensures that the OLED monitor is a true reflection of what your camera will capture.

Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD

The touchscreen live view 1.04m-dot 3.0-inch LCD is perfect for monitoring Full HD 1080 video. The vari-angle screen helps you shoot at high and low angles for a unique perspective, or to shoot self-portraits and group photos.

Intuitive Touch Operation

A new touch interface allows you to quickly set AF points and take photos with a tap via the Touch Shutter release. Image review and operation is easy thanks to one and two-finger touch gestures. Smudge resistant coatings minimise fingerprints on the screen keeping it bright and clear for your photo and video taking.

Tactile Manual Controls

Manual control dials bring the cameras ergonomics and usability to the next level. Learn to use your camera intuitively with a dedicated exposure compensation dial, customisable front dial for aperture or shutter speeds, a control ring and control dial for easily accessible direct control of key shooting settings.

Instantly Share Your Favourite Photographs and Videos

The Canon PowerShot G5 X digital camera features integrated WiFi and Dynamic NFC connectivity making it easier to share than ever. Transfer photos and movies to your smart device then upload them directly to your favourite social media networks.
