Redonda, lo que se dice redonda, pues no les ha salido. Es lo que parece decirnos Steve’s Digicams en el análisis a fondo que publica sobre la Canon PowerShot G5X en la que yo tenía depositada muchas esperanzas y en la que por lo que voy leyendo aquí y en otros sitios, ahora me la miro con bastante menos entusiasmo.
No parece hacerle sombra a la Sony RX100IV (salvo en el precio) y la novísima Lumix TZ100 aún es una incógnita.
Os pongo lo habitual para esta WEB.

Contras:

- Some control buttons are a bit too small to be used comfortably
- Battery life is well below average
- Built-in flash unit only can be opened manually; there’s no popup flash button
- Camera’s performance slows considerably when shooting in RAW image format
- Shooting in RAW and JPEG at the same time requires changing an odd menu setting
- Shooting RAW and JPEG at same time eliminates many special effect shooting options
- Image sharpness suffers a bit at the most wide-angle focal length setting
- Large number of dials requires practice to learn to use correctly and quickly
