hey guys I'm Lexus avedis from cnet and we're taking a look at the brand new canon powershot g7x canon has decided to join the 1 inch sensor brigade dominated by the likes of the sony rx100 this is actually a slightly smaller sensor that it was in the older g1x cameras so it's one each census CMOS apart from that one inch sensor the key features of the g7x is this 180 degree flip up I guess kind of selfie screen it's 3 inches it's a touchscreen as well on the top of the camera you get full manual controls there are two dials here there's one obviously with your full PASM controls and then there is an exposure compensation dial as well I mentioned that 20 point 2 megapixel CMOS sensor inside that's the 1 inch but in front of that is a four point two times optical zoom lens with full is and the aperture range is quite generous so the maximum range is f 1.8 2 f 2.8 at the maximum extent of the zoom now when you turn the camera on and start to play around with features you'll notice that canon has carried across this rotating lens control ring in front right here now this can be used to control your aperture and shutter speed as well as ctrl to zoom depending on what mode you're in for the connectivity junkies out there you get Wi-Fi and NFC so you can easily transfer photos from this camera to your smartphone or tablets there's a9 blade aperture so you get really smooth out-of-focus areas or bouquet and also you get 60 p video recording with full manual controls and that's also in mp4 this has been a first look at the brand new canon g7x if you want to find out full specs and many more details head over to the first look over at cnet
