The Canon PowerShot G7 X has a bright zoom lens that covers a lot of range and a large 1-inch image sensor, but just misses earning our Editors' Choice nod for top premium compact camera.

This is where things get interesting! It's over two years since Sony shook up the compact camera market by putting a 1"-type sensor into a genuinely pocketable compact. The Cyber-shot RX100 looked a lot like one of Canon's S-series of high-end compacts...

This advanced compact's photos look good but it needs to pick up the pace.
The Canon PowerShot G7 X delivers excellent photo quality for its class, along with a fine lens and relatively streamlined shooting design.
Its performance and connectivity implemenation don't impress, and some people may miss the hot shoe.
The Canon PowerShot G7 X would jump from very good to excellent if it could just pick up the pace.
