 "A handy compact camera")
While most people these days are armed with smartphones that deliver sharp images, there are still some who yearn for a better camera. Lugging a DSLR camera everywhere isn't really a viable option and which is why perhaps a better quality compact camera comes into the picture. To capture the imagination of users in this segment, Canon has launched its G9X compact camera.
The G9X is a small yet sturdy camera and has a metal body which makes it a bit heavy. It has all the standard buttons of point-and-shoot cameras and is overall a neat looking, well-designed camera.
It weighs about 200 g and comes with a 3-inch touchscreen. It has a one-inch image sensor that helps shoot 20.2-megapixel images and has 3X zoom coupled with a focal range of 28-84mm. The G9X gives you an option of shooting in .raw and .jpeg image format.
The sensor shines through when there is low light. Most point-and-shoot cameras don't offer good quality images in low-lightconditions. However, the G9X doesn't disappoint. Overall, it's a camera, which clicks just about good quality images.
At Rs 32,995, it is slightly expensive but has a lot going for it. The G9X is ideally meant for people who don't want to carry DSLR cameras and aren't satisfied with phone images.

Due to the one-inch image sensor, the G9X should supposedly deliver excellent images. However, the images aren't really spectacular. In good lighting, the images have a good white balance and the colours stand out well. These images won't really "wow" you but are far better than the smartphone images.
