Optics

sensor size

One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.lens mount

∅

Canon PowerShot G7 X: Not applicable

The type of mount that connects the lens to the camera.focus points

31

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.megapixels (main camera)

20.2 MP

20 MP

The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.maximum ISO

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon PowerShot G3 X)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon PowerShot G7 X)

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.maximum expanded ISO

25600 ISO

12800 ISO

Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.has sensor shift stabilization

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon PowerShot G3 X)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon PowerShot G7 X)

With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.continuous shooting (mechanical)

5.9 fps

6.5 fps

The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.has AF tracking✔Canon PowerShot G3 X

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Canon PowerShot G7 X)

With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.+ Show more +
