Canon PowerShot G5 X II review: Pop-up viewfinder camera sets sights on Sony RX100
A reinvention of the series, with its eyes firmly set on the prize: take-on the Sony RX100. In many respects the Canon succeeds, with a robust feature set and decent image quality in this newly designed form. However, its fairly simplistic autofocus system isn't the best going.
Far smaller build than original model; Pop-up viewfinder rivals Sony RX100 series; Decent lens focal and aperture range; Adds 4K video shooting capabilities; Impressive image quality from new 1-inch sensor
Larger scale than Sony RX100 competitor; Autofocus lacks the complexity of some rivals; Loses vari-angle LCD of previous model (it's tilt-angle instead; Rotational lens ring feels plasticky; Loses some detail at full zoom
