Canon PowerShot G3X (0106C002)

Canon PowerShot G3 X is designed to be an alternative to low-cost DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. The camera is aimed at travelers who are not going to bother with the procedure for changing optics, but want to get a high-quality and versatile solution in one bottle.

Matrix

The ultrazoom sensor stands out among most rival models with its increased physical dimensions (1"). It is made using BSI technology (backlit) and has a resolution of 20.2 MP. In terms of the physical dimensions of the sensor, the camera is very similar to the Nikon 1 family of mirrorless cameras, which is on the head above the representatives of the line of ultrazooms.It does not lag behind in terms of image quality — in the entire range (24-600 mm) the picture is sharp and saturated... A slight drop in the level of sharpness is possible only at maximum focal lengths (around 600 mm).

"Carcass"

The body of the camera is made of high quality magnesium alloy. It is additionally protected from dust and moisture. It is necessary to sight on a 3.2-inch screen, since the camera is not equipped with a viewfinder. As befits all modern devices, the display leans back to the “selfie” position and is touch sensitive. If this state of affairs does not suit you, it is possible to install an external viewfinder that is mounted on a hot shoe.

Peculiarities

The camera has a 5-axis image stabilizer in its design. It effectively compensates for fluctuations in both photo and video shooting. Autofocus is also good — 31 points quickly cling to the subject and reliably guide it in tracking mode. Only the shortest shutter speed is missing — a value of 1/2000 s is not enough today, I want to see at least 1/8000 s.

Traveler

As mentioned above, ultrasonic is an excellent option for travel. It will keep the right company and will allow you to capture 99% of the intended scenes in the frame, regardless of the genre of photography.
