introduction
Specifications and Features
Following Canon's naming convention of adopting lower numbers for high-spec models, the PowerShot G9 X sits below the G7 X in the range and accelerates larger bodies and bulkier, much more slim-line and compact. Fast high-zoom ratio zoom lens. Design.
However, like those models, it has an inch 20.2-Mpix CMOS sensor with sensitivity up to ISO12,800, but this time it is not BSI type.
It has a more modest 28-84 mm-equivalent f / 2-4.9 static zoom similar to the customizable control ring found on the PowerShot S120. Control rings can be used to adjust a wide range of settings, such as aperture values, ISOs, or exposure compensation.
Other features of the note include a 1.04m-dot resolution 3-inch touchscreen LCD (with a plethora of user control features), a pop-up flash, continuous shooting at 6fps (at just 1fps in RAW mode), and, essentially, Contains from.
Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity with HD video (up to 60fps) and NFC. The new model measures pocket-friendly 3.9 x 2.3 x 1.2 ”/ 98 × 57.9 × 30.8 mm, and weighs 7.37 oz / 209 grams with battery and card.

Canon's lesser G9 X achieved an overall DxOMark sensor score of 63 points, similar to the sensor in the PowerShot G3 X, but some 8 points lower than the G7 X at 71 points. For individual metrics, the G9 X scored a score of 21.5 bits for color sensitivity, a good 12.3 EV for the dynamic range at base ISO,
and sensor size and technology, giving a respectable low-light ISO score of 495 ISO, Which is a relatively negligible comparison with the BSI sensor in the G7 X.
Comparison 1: Canon PowerShot G9X vs. Canon PowerShot G3X vs. Canon PowerShot G7X: Good overall performance
While much larger and heavier thanks to its massive zoom (with a 25 x zoom ratio) and large body, the PowerShot G3 X achieves a 63-point overall DxO mark score similar to the smaller G9 X, with depth of color and dynamic similar to individual Scores achieve range over all ISOs, and have essentially the same high ISO low-light capability. Therefore we can assume that G9 X uses the corresponding sensor.
The Pricier G7 X has a 20.3-Mpix unit, as small as the G9 X, however, has a BSI (backside illuminated) sensor. Unlike simple front-illuminated designs that stack electronics above the photo-receptive layer, allowing more light via the BSI sensor (as they are known) to be placed closer to light with photo diodes.
Which in theory should have lower noise levels and improved color sensitivity, DR, and low-light performance. For sensors in the G7X, it shows some improvement in the dynamics of the sensor, but it is mostly for color sensitivity.
The lower noise also converges to a slightly wider dynamic range, but the gain of +0.4 eV at the base quickly matches ISO 200 by the G9 X, and is really only a minor improvement in high-ISO low-light capabilities.
Comparison 2: Canon PowerShot G9 X vs Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100 IV vs Nikon 1 J5
Canon has recently started using one-inch type sensors that Nikon and Sony have used for a very long time. Nikon's 1-Series cameras were among the first to adopt the new sensor format, and the fifth-generation Nikon 1 J5 has a 20.2-Mpix unit, very close to the G9 X.
It has slightly higher color sensitivity as measured at the 22nd level. Against Canon's 21.5 bits, but in a reversal of the trends, Nikon hasn't been able to outshine the DR quite a bit, though the differences are best. The more expensive Sony RX100, now on version VI, has a 20.2-Mpix BSI sensor that presumably uses the same Canon as the GX7.
But like every vendor, Sony has optimized performance to some extent, sacrificing a little DR for the base, with slight smoothing from ISO3200, to a slight advantage at higher ISOs. Its sensor is the superior performance of the three, but the Sony camera is targeting a slightly different audience.
Canon's G-Series models offer class-leading performance, but Canon has introduced different classes of G-series cameras, making this option somewhat more complicated. Nevertheless, aimed at enthusiasts, the G9 X is, however, an entry-level model.
It has a decent enough sensor, but is not in the same class as the BSI sensor found in the G7X and rival Sony RX100 IV.
It also lacks some of the other high-end features found in those two models, most notably the wider 24mm equivalent area and faster maximum aperture at the longer end of the zoom range. Sony can also boast a built-in electronic viewfinder.
The PowerShot G9 X is intended to be a slightly different sub-set, and remains attractive for its small form factor and balance of performance and price.
