The Canon PowerShot G5 X Digital Camera is the first PowerShot G-Series camera to have a full-featured 2.36 million dot electronic view finder, and it is one of its most beneficial features. The large LCD screen has a built-in sensor that allows the camera to switch from point and shoot mode to the electronic viewfinder mode when your face approaches the viewfinder. The Canon PowerShot G5 X Digital Camera is a small and compact camera that is great to walk around with because of how lightweight it is. The camera has strong build quality and feels very solid.

Since the menus are now mostly electronic on the Canon PowerShot G5 X, it is necessary to be aware of your hand movements due to the possibility of bumping into a menu button on accident if you tap the touchscreen. Sunlight can also make the electronic viewfinder's LCD screen challenging to see, so going out in bright daylight may not be a great idea with this camera. Low light conditions with the PowerShot G5 X Digital Camera tend to be very good, but images can turn out grainy and noisy if you take photos in dark conditions. Overall, this camera's electronic viewfinder, image quality, and compact size make it an amazing camera for people who know how to handle cameras in a professional manner.
