Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II

G7X Mark II

"Lots to like -- tilt screen, the click-wheel remembers the focal length, nice dials, many useful settings. But at 24 mm images are completely out of focus, with lots of red fringing, at the edges and reasonably sharp only in the middle 1/3.

I wanted to like this camera.

Now that I have run a few thousand exposures through this camera, I'm not that happy with it. I shoot a lot of close distances and the auto focus can't seem to get it right even with touch screen. It always tries to focus to further points. Very annoying.

Trouble importing

Were having a lot of trouble importing the photos and videos from the camera, with no one available to help. We ended up seeking help from a gentleman with 2 degrees in IT and he was having the same troubles importing. Nothing seemed to work. Overall the camera quality is good.

Review: Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II is a serious compact for serious photographers. Just take a look at that all-black colour scheme: your six-year-old nephew won't want anything to do with it.

Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II review: The G7 X Mark II is a good choice when you're ready to step up to better photos

Performance improvements raise the G7 X Mark II's grade to excellent, as long as you're not looking for a lot of frills. I like the Canon G7 X, one of the company's 1-inch sensor enthusiast compacts -- the one without the viewfinder -- but that model just can't keep up when it comes to speed. Given that its successor, the G7 X Mark II, is fundamentally the same camera (albeit with some important enhancements), it's not surprising that I like the Mark II as well. But while the $700 (£570, AU$950) camera improves on the earlier model in some respects, the admittedly better performance still lags in places.

Canon G7X Mark II

The Canon G7X Mark II sits in Canon's premium range of compact cameras. It's intended to appeal to those who want a device that offers a high level of control and excellent image quality, but slots into your pocket.
