Canon's pocket-sized 1-inch sensor compact for everyday shooters
The G9X packs a 1" BSI-CMOS sensor into a body weighing just 209g, built around a 28-84mm equivalent f/2-4.9 lens with optical image stabilization rated for three stops of correction. That stabilization matters at the 84mm end, where the aperture narrows and steady handheld shots otherwise get tricky. A built-in 3-stop ND filter can trigger automatically for stills, letting you hold wide apertures in bright daylight without blowing highlights or fumbling with manual settings mid-shoot.
Handling centers on a 3" touchscreen with 1,040,000 dots, which handles autofocus point placement, menu navigation, and manual focus pulls during video with real precision. There's no viewfinder and no screen articulation, which keeps the body slim enough to disappear into a jacket pocket, but the tradeoff buys you the smallest, lightest camera in Canon's G-series lineup. A proper mode dial still gives you full manual, aperture and shutter priority, plus a 30 second to 1/2000 sec shutter range.
Video runs up to 1080/60p with manual control over aperture, shutter, and ISO while filming, and built-in WiFi with NFC handles quick transfers and smartphone remote shooting, including live exposure adjustment through Canon's Camera Connect app. Burst shooting hits 6.0 fps for JPEG shooters willing to skip continuous autofocus. For a camera this small, it packs in a genuinely complete shooting toolkit.
Who It's For
Travel photographers get a camera small enough for constant pocket carry without sacrificing the low-light gains of a 1" sensor over typical point-and-shoots. Street shooters benefit from the same discretion, plus a touchscreen that lets them reposition the AF point with a single tap instead of hunting through buttons. Anyone shooting handheld video appreciates the optical stabilization rated for three stops, useful when zoomed to 84mm where the f/4.9 aperture leaves less margin for shake. Casual astrophotography enthusiasts can use the built-in Star Nightscape and Star Trail modes to shoot wide star fields or multi-hour trail composites without manual intervention between frames.

FAQ
- What autofocus modes does the G9X have?
- Two AF area options: 1-Point AF (which you position via touchscreen) and Face+Tracking (which identifies faces or falls back to a seven-by-five array). You can pair either with One Shot or Servo continuous autofocus, though Canon recommends 1-Point AF with Servo for burst shooting.
- How much stabilization does the built-in ND filter provide?
- The 3-stop ND filter lets you hold wide apertures in bright daylight without clipping highlights. It can be set to Auto (triggers automatically for stills), On, or Off. For video you'll need to enable it manually.
- Can I control exposure remotely via smartphone?
- Yes. The Camera Connect app gives you manual control over aperture, shutter, ISO, and exposure compensation depending on your mode dial position-full manual control when the dial is set to Manual. You can also adjust aperture, shutter, and sensitivity while filming in Movie mode.
- What video resolutions and frame rates are available?
- 1080/60p, 1080/30p, 1080/24p (NTSC only), 720/30p, and VGA at 30p. The 60p option only unlocks when you set the mode dial to Movie; in other modes you're limited to 30p maximum.
- How does the touchscreen help with manual focus in video?
- In Manual Movie mode, you can tap on the screen to pull focus to different subjects while filming. The camera shows an on-screen distance bar as a guide, and you can enable focus peaking to highlight in-focus edges.
- Does the G9X have continuous autofocus during burst shooting?
- Yes, but with caveats. You can enable Servo AF paired with 1-Point AF for continuous refocusing during bursts, but burst speed drops from 6.0 fps to 4.3 fps when AF is active.
- What's the difference between burst performance with JPEG and RAW?
- Shooting JPEGs on a fast UHS-I card lets you sustain bursts indefinitely at around 6 fps. Switching to RAW tanks the speed to one frame every 1.16 seconds, making RAW burst impractical for this camera.
