Canon's original premium compact with built-in EVF, 1-inch sensor, and DSLR-style body.

The Canon PowerShot G5 X was released in October 2015 as a premium 1-inch sensor compact with a fast 24-100mm equivalent f/1.8-2.8 zoom and a built-in 2.36M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder — features that distinguished it from the slimmer G7 X without an EVF. The fixed EVF housing is the defining visual characteristic versus the pop-up EVF of the Mark II (2019). 4K video is not supported; the maximum video resolution is Full HD at 60fps.

The 20.2MP 1-inch CMOS sensor pairs with the DIGIC 6 processor. The 24-100mm f/1.8-2.8 equivalent zoom provides a wide-to-short-telephoto range with a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture at the wide end. 1080p Full HD video records at up to 60fps; 4K is not available. The built-in OLED EVF provides 2.36M dots for outdoor framing. A fully articulating rear LCD enables creative angle composition. Body weight approximately 353g with battery and card, single SD/SDHC/SDXC slot.

The G5 X's practical strengths are the f/1.8 maximum aperture at 24mm, the built-in fixed EVF, and the 1-inch sensor image quality tier. The fast maximum aperture enables background separation and low-light photography uncommon for a fixed-zoom compact. The built-in EVF provides a stable viewing platform for outdoor and bright-light photography where LCD-only composition is difficult. The fully articulating LCD adds versatility for low-angle and overhead work.

On the used market the G5 X is affordable. The Mark II (2019) replaced the fixed EVF with a pop-up design in a smaller body with a stacked BSI sensor. Condition checks: EVF for any burn-in or display irregularities (fixed EVF is always in position, subject to cumulative use), articulating screen hinge, and battery health. No 4K recording. Fixed lens; no interchangeable mount.
