The editors didn't like
Still lags behind the competition with respect to features and some aspects of performance
Although owners of the original Canon PowerShot G7 X won't be too excited by the improvements on offer, the new Mark II does represent a step forward for Canon's premium pocket compact camera, particularly in its operational speed. Continuous shooting ra...
Scene Recognition shooting mode is accurate and easy to use without worry, Canon's HS system led by the 4.2x optical f/1.82.8 lens is awesome in lowlight situations, Large, 1inch CMOS image sensor provides excellent overall image quality, Beautiful bokeh
Lack of 4K video recording mode, No audio input, 4.2x zoom is a little limited, doesn't have the range of most compact cameras, No EVF or OVF (usually found on many of the higher level compacts)
The 3.0-inch touch panel display has also been improved, with the ability to now tilt downward; compared to the display on its predecessor that only tilted upwards. While the control layout is pretty much the same, Canon has added a new Wi-Fi button, and...
Very good image quality, Improved high ISO performance; Improved handling; Faster 8 fps burst mode; Burst rate no longer slows down with RAW files; Improved buffer depth,
Soft corners at wide angle; No viewfinder; No 4K video; Mediocre battery life; Sluggish buffer clearing; Continuous AF struggles on fast subjects,
Small and relatively affordable for a oneinch sensor compact, Bright and sharp LCD touchscreen that tilts right back for selfies, Simple design with a convenient control dial around the lens, The new Digic 7 processor means fast 8fps burst shooting and lo
No EVF and no hot shoe for adding an accessory, Video is limited to 1080p, not 4K, Few physical buttons for manual exposure control, Somewhat limited focal length range, Autofocus strugles with closeup macro shots
We enjoyed using this surprisingly compact large sensor camera because of its sharp and responsive tilting touchscreen and an intuitive interface that brings up only the relevant camera settings when you press the Q button. There's no doubt that an electr...
The G7 X II is an easy and enjoyable camera to use, while the manual controls will appeal to enthusiasts. The fact that you can shoot in raw format is very useful when you're trying to claw back some detail in high-ISO shots
If you're familiar with DSLRs you'll probably find that you miss having a viewfinder. While it seems likely that the viewfinder option was rejected because it would increase the camera's size, both Panasonic and Sony have found ways to include one on thei
Canon has once again produced a very appealing G-series camera – it's a high-performing compact, which makes it both a good alternative for when using your DSLR isn't practical, and a great camera in its own right.If you're an existing Canon user the bigg...

Lovely chunky build, Photos are bang on the money, Reasonable zoom
No viewfinder, No 4K video, More feature-packed rivals at this price
It's a tough old time for compact cameras. Canon's G7 X Mark II is good at pretty much everything, yet it's still not the kind of device you should buy no questions asked. The competition at this kind of price is absolutely ferocious. For sheer point-and...
Responsive touchscreen, Pleasing JPEGS straight out of the camera, Sound AF system with effective focus tracking
Lack of built-in viewfinder may discourage some people, Soft results at wider focal lengths, Video capture limited to full HD
When the Canon PowerShot G7 X was released, it didnt 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 specia...
Large sensor, Wide aperture lens, Touch-sensitive screen, Wi-Fi
Lack of viewfinder, Short zoom, Macro focusing is tricky
Canon G7X Mark II – Performance and AF Generally speaking, I'm pretty pleased with the G7X II's focusing capability. It locks onto most subjects quickly, slowing down a little only if the light is low. It maintains a quick focusing speed at the furthest r...
