Awesome compact camera

I tried the Olympus TG-5 for kayak fishing shots, but was disappointed with the image sharpness, inconsistent exposure and low-light capability. After reviewing pics from the G7X II, I decided to buy it and the genuine Canon waterproof housing. What a difference!

Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II review

There was a time when Canon's PowerShot line was the obvious choice for anyone who wanted manual control in a compact camera. However, as manufacturers have abandoned the budget end of the market, too many capable alternatives have surfaced for this to remain the case.
Pros:
  • Responsive touchscreen
  • Pleasing JPEGS straight out of the camera
  • Sound AF system with effective focus tracking
Cons:
  • Lack of built-in viewfinder may discourage some people
  • Soft results at wider focal lengths
  • Video capture limited to full HD

Canon PowerShot G7X Mark II

Canon's new PowerShot G7X Mark II addresses some of the criticisms levied at the G7X and adds some worthwhile improvements without increasing its price. Physically similar to its predecessor, the Mark II has the same 20.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and 4.2x optical zoom lens and remains limited to...

Canon Powershot G7X Mark II G7XII review

When the Canon PowerShot G7 X was released, it didn’t have much in the way of competition. Now, the idea of a pocketable camera furnished with a 1in or Micro Four Thirds sensor, together with raw shooting and plenty of manual control, is a bit less special – and if you’re happy with a...
Pros:
  • Responsive touchscreen
  • Pleasing JPEGS straight out of the camera
  • Sound AF system with effective focus tracking
Cons:
  • Lack of built-in viewfinder may discourage some people
  • Soft results at wider focal lengths

Second Time Around: Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II Review

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II is a well-designed enthusiast compact that's a pleasure to use. It offers a versatile focal range, very good image quality, a large buffer for continuous shooting and 1080/60p video capture. Sharpening and noise reduction in JPEGs are heavy-handed, and battery life still needs work, but aside from those issues Canon has done an impressive job with the second iteration of the G7 X.
Pros:
  • Travelers seeking a pocketable camera that performs well in low light and offers good control over depth-of-field.
Cons:
  • Peak action and sports photography. Those hoping to get a full day of shooting day with a single battery.

Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II

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...
Pros:
  • The Canon PowerShot G7 X II is nicely designed with good photo quality for its class
  • and improves noticeably over the earlier model
Cons:
  • Still lags behind the competition with respect to features and some aspects of performance
