Is the canon powershot g7 x good in low light?

The Canon PowerShot G7 X is a decent low-light compact for its size. It has a 20.2-megapixel 1-inch sensor, and its lens opens to f/1.8 at the wide end, which lets in plenty of light when you're zoomed out. Don't expect it to match an APS-C or full-frame camera, though. A bigger sensor collects more light at the same framing and f-number, so it stays cleaner at high ISO. The sensor sizes guide explains the gap in more detail.

If you're choosing within this line, the newer models share the same bright 24-100mm-equivalent zoom:

• Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III: the newest here, with a flip-up screen, and my pick for most people.
• Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II: the same zoom, one generation back.
