Abstract: Ahead of our full Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II review, we've published the following articles: Announcement: Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II and PowerShot G7 X Mark III Compact Cameras July 9, 2019 Canon have unveiled two new, high-quality compact came...
Canon has made some interesting upgrades with the PowerShot G5 X II. The pop-up EVF is a great improvement, while the step-up to 4K video recording is overdue.I need to test it in a wider range of conditions, but the PowerShot G5 X II seems like a nice, d...
Improved 5x zoom lens, Pocketable dimensions, Powerful 4K video capture
No mic socket, Pop-up EVF could be tiresome, Price
The new PowerShot G5 X Mark II is both more powerful and more practical than its predecessor. You get a pocket-sized camera with a fast, 5x zoom lens, a good-sized 1-inch sensor and 4K video capture with no crop factor. It does feel like it's lost a littl...
It has a 3in LCD touchscreen that tilts so that you can see it in any light, You can perfect your pictures with on-camera editing, There's built-in wi-fi to easily transfer your photos, It has a popup electronic viewfinder and flash, both of which save a
You won't be able to focus the camera from less than 5cm away, There's no internal memory so you'll need to remember your SD card
If you're looking for a compact camera to take clean and clear shots, the Canon Powershot G5 X Mark II is a good option. Best suited to taking shots of people and of landscapes, it's the ideal holiday camera. Not only is it small and lightweight, but it h...
Convenient, take-anywhere build, Great image quality, Excellent EVF
Very expensive, Non-interchangeable lens
“Good for a compact” might end up written on the G5 X Mark II's tombstone. To be sure, its still images are outstanding at a much wider range of ISOs than we'd expect, and it's impressive that it can shoot quality 4K video in such a compact body. It's con...
Very good image quality overall, High-quality build and attention to detail, Good handling for such a small body, EVF is nice and clear
Lens is soft at wider apertures, 4K videos good but not too competitive, Battery life could be better, Somewhat pricey next to rivals
The Canon Powershot G5 X II is a radical departure from what we saw in the G5 X. It's slimmed down, concealed its viewfinder and gained some useful new tech on the inside, with the new processor allowing for everything from 30fps raw shooting to 4K video...
Good image quality throughout the zoom range, Genuinely pocketable, Useful pop-up EVF, Shoots uncropped 4K video
No phase-detect autofocus, No microphone input, Lacks the G7X Mark III's YouTube livestreaming
Verdict It's a little pricey, but the G5X Mark II is one of the best compact cameras you can buy and a genuine step up from your smartphone camera. Its handling, electronic viewfinder, optical zoom, burst shooting and all-round image quality are impressiv...

Far smaller build than original model, Pop-up viewfinder rivals Sony RX100 series, Decent lens focal and aperture range, Adds 4K video shooting capabilities, Impressive image quality from new 1-inch sensor
Larger scale than Sony RX100 competitor, Autofocus lacks the complexity of some rivals, Loses vari-angle LCD of previous model (it's tilt-angle instead), Rotational lens ring feels plasticky
The Canon PowerShot G5 X II is no small reworking of the original model. Nope, this second-generation attempt has its sights clearly set on the Sony RX100 series, given its smaller scale and pop-up viewfinder design aspects. It's not as small as the Sony...
Canon has taken a different direction with its Canon G5 X Mark II and have made a conscious effort to make it more travel friendly and convenient for those who want a camera thats easy to carry. The pop-up EVF is superbly implemented, but you do have to...
Feels very well put together, Responsive and fast AF, EOS-style menu system, Grip makes for excellent handling
EVF needs to be pulled back before use, Lens control ring feels somewhat hollow, Expensive next to Sony RX100 III and IV
The PowerShot G5 X Mark II is quite a different proposition to the existing G5 X, and with its new EVF it's arguably the closest rival to Sony's RX100 models to date. It feels great in the hands and is responsive in use, and the EOS-style interface makes...
