The evaluation of Canon Boxiu G5 X, a portable computer with good appearance and material.

IT 168 evaluation outsole DC, a portable high-quality camera, is deeply loved by photographers. Since Canon produced the outsole DC g 1x with 1.5 inch sensor, the product line became stronger and stronger. At present, the design of Canon outsole DC product line is in line with the mainstream of the market, and many portable cameras with 1 inch sensors have been introduced. 20 15 June, Canon released two new 1 inch portable DC products. Today, I personally think that Canon PowerShot is the most valuable one among all portable computers in Canon.

Appearance: It should be the highest value among Canon portable computers.

To tell the truth, when I first got this camera, I was attracted by its appearance. I have personally used many Canon laptops, but this G5 X is definitely the one with the highest value I have ever seen.

Compared with other outsole DC of Power Shot, the biggest difference of this camera lies in the design of the top. After adding the electronic viewfinder, it looks more retro.

This camera is equipped with a large aperture lens of F 1.8-2.8, and it is also a portable large aperture camera. 4.2 times optical zoom with a focal length of 24-100 mm; 9 blade aperture realizes the beautiful blur of point light source close to circle; Macro shooting is possible, and the nearest focus distance is about 5 cm.

It can be seen that Canon G5 X has completely inherited the design sense of G series, and the low-key and bright red line design has appeared on this series of machines several times.

The turntable in front of the fuselage is the main part of camera parameter adjustment, and the other is the control rotation on the lens of the fuselage. These two parts form a rapid adjustment system, which makes the camera's control performance excellent and very suitable for street fear.

The design behind Canon G5 X fuselage is similar to other G series outsole DC in layout and function.

Canon G5 X is the first portable camera in G series with EVF electronic viewfinder. This electronic viewfinder with a field of view ratio of about 65,438+000% and about 2.36 million pixels has high definition from the center to the edge of the viewfinder, and can achieve a wide color gamut and high contrast. Moreover, the refresh rate of this electronic viewfinder is very high, and the highest display rate is about 120 frames per second, so there will be no smear when shooting sports subjects.

During framing and composition, the viewfinder can display the necessary information at the bottom of the screen, which can reduce the occlusion in real-time display and facilitate users to concentrate on shooting. At the same time, it can realize full-screen display, so that the details of the screen run through the four corners; It can also simplify the display and confirm the shooting details and the overall image at the same time.

When holding the camera vertically, the shooting information will be automatically switched to the vertical layout, which is convenient, accurate and quick to confirm the setting information. The vertical and horizontal positions can be quickly switched, and you can enjoy comfortable shooting regardless of the horizontal and vertical composition. Generally speaking, after adding this EVF, the overall appearance looks really full.

Canon G5 X also added the design of flip screen, because it added EVF and adopted the rollover design.

Canon G5 X's 3-inch rotating screen also has a touch function, which can not only change the angle of the LCD screen according to the photographer's needs or shooting environment, but also bring convenient touch operation to the photographer at any time.

Moreover, on this flip screen, Canon also optimized the selfie function for people who love selfies.

There is a built-in flash on the top of the fuselage.

However, it may be that the size of the fuselage is relatively small, which also compresses the space of the battery compartment. Personally, it is easier to prepare an extra battery when you go out to shoot.

Summary:

Canon G5 X looks angular and masculine, and the new mid-range EVF makes the camera look more retro and tasteful. Canon's most valuable laptop of the year is G5 X.

Image quality: The resolution of telephoto end is unexpected.

Canon G5 X is equipped with 1 inch sensor, with about 20.2 million pixels. What is the image quality performance of Canon G5 X? We continue to look down.

24 mm wide-angle end:

First of all, you can look at the performance ability of the 24mm wide-angle end. From the screenshot of the 100% part of this real shot sample, we can see that the resolution is already very good at the maximum aperture f/ 1.8, and then the resolution begins to decline at f/5.6. However, the edge resolution of the 24mm end of the restaurant is not as good as the central resolution, and it will not be improved until f5.6, so if you use the wide-angle end, it is recommended to use f/5.6 aperture more.

100mm telephoto end:

I was quite surprised by the resolution test of the telephoto end, because the resolution of the telephoto end was very good from the maximum aperture f/2.8, and almost began to decline slightly at f/8. At the telephoto end, you can use every aperture with confidence.

Summary:

It can be said that except the edge resolution of the wide-angle end, the resolution of each focal segment has reached a good level. Of course, this also reflects the advantages of 1 inch large size (compared with traditional DC) sensor and 20 million pixels.

Sensitivity:

Canon G5 X is equipped with Canon's latest DGIC 6 image processor, and 1 inch large-size high-sensitivity CMOS image sensor expands the effective photosensitive area, which can collect more light in a short time, thus improving the sensitivity, expanding the dynamic range and effectively suppressing noise.

As can be seen from the above figure, when ISO 1600 is reached, the number of noise visible to human eyes gradually increases. Before ISO 1600, the overall picture was kept relatively pure, so it is recommended to keep it below ISO 1600. For daily use, ISO3200 can also be used in emergencies.

Summary:

Generally speaking, Canon G5 X maintains the consistent image quality level of Canon G series, and the central resolution is excellent. High-sensitivity ISO 1600 is the limit sensitivity, and it can be opened to ISO3200 at night.

5.9 frames/sec high-speed continuous shooting, 4.4 frames/sec autofocus continuous shooting.

Canon G5 X can perform a continuous shooting of about 5.9 frames/second or an autofocus continuous shooting of about 4.4 frames/second in full pixels (about 20.2 million effective pixels), and can quickly capture wonderful moments that are hard to see with the naked eye, such as the flapping of birds' wings and the goal of a game.

Through practical use, it can be concluded that it focuses quickly and basically meets the daily needs of continuous shooting. Of course, you can't ask this machine to have a powerful continuous shooting function like a sports machine, but this machine is also equipped with a DIGIC 6 image processor, so it is quite handy in dealing with continuous shooting.

On functions

Although this machine is small, it has many rich functions built in. For example, the popular starry sky mode of G series can take starry sky photos and automatically synthesize satellite orbit video.

And there are 46 kinds of built-in filters to choose from, so that we can choose one of the many filter effects we like. I believe there is always one of these 46 kinds for you.

WIFI function is also a necessary function of this mainstream outsole DC. Canon G5 X can transfer wonderful photos or short films to Wi-Fi-enabled cameras, smartphones/tablets, computers and printers through this function. Through the application of wireless network, the ways of sharing video fun can be greatly enriched.
