What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Canon PowerShot G3 Digital Camera

The camera is very small.
I liked its size and heft and how if fit in my hands because some cameras are too small.
Nice little camera. It was exactly what I needed.
This camera has a great feel and weight to it.
It's very small and hard to turn so you can't get an accurate adjustment.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 III Bridge Camera

The case is some form of plastic, but strong and helps to keep the weight down as the camera is a similar size to other DSLR cameras.
I have enjoyed the very compact size of that camera when i had it.
I have seen a couple of negative comments on size and weight of the camera, but I like it.
Lighter than most DSLRs, but feels solid has a 'real' camera feel to it.
A superb camera for amateur use but not compact. I prefer more compact cameras.

What customers say about "Imaging"

Canon PowerShot G3 Digital Camera

4MP is about right for the target market of this camera.
4x zoom is nice. Highly recommend.
The photo quality is amazing.
The images are sharp and the colors knock your socks off.
It has a beautiful design, lots of features, very easy to use, very configurable and customizable.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 III Bridge Camera

Photos are generally pin sharp, even when taking a quick impromptu one. Focusing has several options from spot to multi-point and about everything between.
A truly amazing bit of kit. Awesome images and extremely versatile suits.
Very good camera with good features. Great quality images and fast. Great 4K video too!
I am amazed at the sharp images even at full zoom. It even makes a complete beginner like me look semi skilled!
Night photographs are great, and its method of stitching several high speed shots to produce one sharp image instead of one slow blurred image works very well.

What customers say about "Display"

Canon PowerShot G3 Digital Camera

The Powershot G3 is a great camera. Great screen.
The flip out and twist lcd screen is absolutely a gem.
LCD screen is beautiful, nice large, crisp.
The viewfinder is borderline worthless and, inexplicably and ridiculously, the lens blocks part of the viewfinder at the wide-angle.
Its swiveling LCD screen is as convenient as it is annoying.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 III Bridge Camera

A wonderfully clear view through the viewfinder, and automatic switch between screen and viewfinder adds to ease of use.
The viewfinder screen is suberb, it's bright when outdoors and comes with the ability to rotate and swivel it to suit.
The OLED viewfinder actually made others exclaim out loud when I showed it to them - it's like looking through the viewfinder of an SLR rather than staring at a tiny screen.
The ability to take video via the viewfinder is the icing on the cake.
The viewfinder is large and excellent, and the whole camera is easy to use.

Fantastic camera. A bit bulky but feature packed. Fab picture quality. Much better low level light noise than my revious camera.
Very good camera with good features. Great quality images and fast. Great 4K video too!
Great for Video, especial 4K, Timelapse and slow motion features are fun and future proof.
