The Canon PowerShot G5 X is one of the most reliable cameras on our list in terms of image quality and ease of use combined. It’s perfectly suited to any underwater trip (when combined with a housing) as well as other outdoor pursuits.

A powerful 5X optical zoom allows you to capture any distant objects clearly. Plus, the macro mode is among the best available in a compact, meaning there’s little need to purchase a separate lens.

Thanks to the 20.1 megapixel CMOS sensor and powerful DIGIC 8 processor, the images you capture are sure to shine.

This is a solid choice and we appreciate the tweaks Canon has made to the Mark II making it even better for underwater photography. Powerful compact at a good price.
