I bought this camera and three days later a wave at Daytona Beach splashed over it. That instantly killed the camera. If you are going to be near water, make sure you purchase an additional waterproof case.

I have used Canon G7X for many iterations. Very disappointed in this one that me and everyone else were so excited for. Love that it has a microphone. Hate that it is fuzzy in and out of focus. The autofocus update did nothing to help my videos. Already dreaming of another camera.

After having the rebel series t6i with then18-200 zoom,having had multiple surgeries in my right arm just couldn’t support the weight. But now with this awesome lightweight fully loaded camera, I can walk around and shoot at will noProblem. Pictures are stunning and camera simple and easy to use.

This camera is amazingly compact, looks beautiful and awesome features (especially the mic input). Only reason it's not a 5-star camera is because the auto-focus is horrendous. It's 2020 and the auto-focus for vlogging never focuses on someone's face.

I love the look of it, the feel of it, and all the new feature. The microphone input and stuff ! But still hope they can come up with newer update for the focusing! Would really really appreciate it, and make the whole camera perfect.

This camera is brand new and flawless, I like it very much.I bought this camera after comparing other camera shops and find out that this is the best price offered.And it turns out to be a very good purchasing experience.

A very versatile camera that suits most people’s needs. Not only does it connect via Wi-Fi but thro Bluetooth also - so one’s phone can act as a remote control. The onboard hints are very helpful to get one up and running quickly.

Happy with the product

Really disappointed with this camera, I had a Powershot S120, which was excellent, and I thought upgrading it to the G7, would be a good idea, but it's a disaster. It takes too long to focus, therefore, to take a photo and the playback is too slow.

Stunning piece of kit. Light weight but sturdy. Comes with stand and controller. Exquisite picture quality. I have to rave about the great microphone that’s built in. You can also add an external microphone. The simple point and shoot option is great for those quick moments.
