Canon PowerShot G9 X Camera Gets DxOMarked

From DxOMark Conclusion :

Canon’s G-series models offer class-leading performance. Canon has introduced different classes of G-series cameras. Now we make the choice more complicated. Still aimed at the enthusiast, the G9 X is an entry-level model. It has a decent enough sensor, but it’s not quite in the same class as the BSI sensor found in the G7 X and the rival Sony RX100 IV. It also lacks some other high-end features found on both of those two models. Most notably the wider 24mm equivalent field of view and faster maximum aperture at the longer end of the zoom range. The Sony can even boast a built-in electronic viewfinder. The PowerShot G9 X is aimed at a slightly different sub-set, and remains attractive for its small form factor and balance of performance and price.
