Canon's PowerShot G3 X Digital Camera is a lightweight camera with a variety of capabilities including a precise optical zoom, high quality video, and image stabilization. The long optical zoom, which is magnified 25 times, will help any wildlife photographers capture impeccable details on their animal subjects, regardless of distance. The PowerShot G3's video mode can capture 1080p full HD video, allowing for cinematic shots that other cameras cannot equate. The corner-to-corner sharpness of this camera's wide-angle view allows it to be perfect for shooting broad landscapes, regardless of what time of day it is. The touch-screen viewfinder may be an adjustment for users who are used to having buttons, but the learning curve should be minimal. The electronic viewfinder is optional, so photographers can always decide against purchasing it if that is their preference.

The Canon PowerShot G3 X Digital Camera is weather sealed, so whether you take it outside at a sporting event or keep it inside, the lens will remain untouched by dust. In comparison to older versions, this PowerShot G3 digital camera has improved light sensitivity, which delivers higher resolution photographs with less noise in low light and dark conditions. A monopod or tripod is unnecessary with this camera due to its incredible image stabilization, so photographers who prefer to have handheld capabilities will enjoy this camera.
