The Canon Powershot G3 X features an impressive 25x optical zoom lens, with a 20 megapixel 1inch BSI (Back Side Illuminated) CMOS sensor , along with FullHD video recording and a large 3.2inch touch-screen with a high resolution of 1.62 million dots.
The 25x optical zoom lens is the equivalent of 24-600mm in 35mm terms, and features a bright f/2.8 aperture at the wide-angle end of the lens which goes down to f/5.6 at the telephoto end. 5-axis optical image stabilisation is built in to ensure sharp photos when shooting in low light or when using a lot of optical zoom. The camera can focus on subjects as close as 5cm, making it well suited to macro photography.
Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity make it easy to remotely control the camera with your smartphone or compatible tablet, or you can use this to transfer photos for sharing on social media sites such as Facebook. Another feature of this is simple image backup which can be run wirelessly.
FullHD video is recorded at 60p, 50p, 30p, 25p, and 24p and the camera features a microphone socket as well as a headphone socket for those serious about audio quality on videos.
A weather sealed body means you can use the camera in less than ideal weather.
