It has the longest focal length zoom range of any Powershot G-Series,[2] from 24-600mm (35mm equivalent) with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 at widest, decreasing to f/5.6 at 600mm. In terms of overall specification it is the most capable of the current-production G-series cameras but this comes at the expense of overall size and weight - it is also the largest and heaviest of the series.
It shares the same 1.0-type ("1-inch") sensor found in the Canon G7 X as well as both the Sony RX100 III and Sony RX10 cameras.
The Canon PowerShot G3 X offers the largest zoom range of all large sensor bridge cameras (tied with the Sony RX10 III and IV), while being the smallest and lightest in the category. The G3 X is over 30% smaller and lighter than its Sony counterparts.
The size and weight savings are achieved with a smaller aperture at the telephoto end of the zoom range and by making its electronic viewfinder an optional accessory.
