Summary

This video is a review of the Canon G5x. This is a new top-of-the-line compact camera from Canon, but does it match up to the hype? You can see footage from this camera in my 2 previous videos shot in Los Angeles. The Canon G5 X was the only camera used in both videos. All footage was shot with a flat color profile as described here. Post color grading was done in Davinci Resolve.
