I was looking for a camera that I could carry all the time, but would be better quality than my phone. I tried various others, decided a one inch sensor was minimum, and the Canon G9X is the smallest body with this sensor size.

Great Picture Quality; Lightweight

But the touchscreen menu is insanely complicated if you go off "Auto" mode and the booklet that comes with it is of minimal help; a...

I bought this camera for photographing my hike on the John Muir Trail in California. The quality of the photos amaze me and there are just so many options. My favorite feature is the Star shooting mode, I've never had a camera where you can actually catch stars or any night time scenery. AMAZING!
