Canon launches the Powershot G3 X with 24-600mm zoom
Canon’s latest Powershot G3 X camera is virtually a mini powerhouse camera.
Salient Specs:
Zoom range: 25x zoom equivalent to 24-600mm. From a decent wide angle of 24mm this camera goes all the way to 600mm.
Sensor size: 1 inch CMOS
Resolution: 20.2 megapixel
ISO: 125 to 12,800
Processor: Digic 6
Auto Focus: 31 point AF.
Continuous Shooting speed: 5.9 frames per second.
Dust and water resistance
EOS Digital camera style features with fully manual controls, this camera can shoot in RAW as well as JPEG or both.
Weight: 733 gms
Size: 4.84 inch x 3.03 inch x 4.13 inch
LCD: A bright 3.2-inch adjustable screen with Multi-Angle capacitive touch panel LCD screen with 1.62 million dot resolution. The adjustable screen will help in low level shots for wildlife or kids and holding it high up in the air and pointing down like photo journalists and can also be tilted 180 degrees when you feel like clicking selfies.
Video Features: 1080p Full HD video (at 24p, 30p, and 60p in MP4 format)
This camera has External stereo microphone jack, a headphone jack for audio monitoring while recording, and manual control of exposure and audio levels. A camera like a 5D Mark III doesn’t have an external jack head phone monitoring but this camera has.
The camera also features live HDMI output while recording allowing for direct connection to external video recorders as well as convenient playback of recorded movies on an HDTV.
Built in WiFi: The built-in WiFi mode with NFC will help in directly uploading the images and videos to youtube, facebook, twitter through Canon Image Gateway or to IoS or Android phones and then to social media.
From a wildlife shooters perspective the 600mm maximum zoom is massive. A lot of you will now be able to shoot like professionals with closeups of the tigers and birds during your wildlife safaris. The lowlight performance will obviously not be as good as high end DSLRs, however, in good light, the amateurs can click images that can be virtually indistinguishable from Pros. I think because of its size, professionals may also prefer this camera, especially in situations where people don’t want to attract attention towards them and shoot.
Price: 999.99 us dollars
