The bestselling PowerShot G7 X, which packed a large sensor within a sleek, compact body, now has a new, improved second-generation model. It features the new DIGIC 7 image processor, which not only enhances the look of photos taken in low light conditions but also enables a more natural depiction of contrast in backlit scenes, resulting in shots that have high apparent resolution. The AF has vastly improved tracking performance, allowing more accurate capture of important subjects. There are also new shooting modes such as "Panning", "Time-lapse movie" and "Short Clip (Movie)" which makes it easy to shoot photos and movies that would otherwise require knowledge of difficult techniques. Not just more pictures, but more beautiful pictures-indeed, that's the beauty of this improved premium compact camera. Take better pictures in low light with DIGIC 7 The PowerShot G7 X Mark II not only comes with a large, 1.0-inch type sensor that makes it easy to take photos with large bokeh. It also features the new DIGIC 7 imaging processor whose high speed processing enables improved noise reduction when shooting at mid to high ISO speeds. Even at ISO 1600, you'll be able to obtain shots with a resolution and tonal gradation similar to those taken at ISO 800 on the previous model. Improved AF, Powerful IS DIGIC 7 not only improves image quality, but also increases the amount of information from the sensors that can be put to use. This improves AF performance even in low colour intensity and low contrast, making it easier to establish AF in scenes such as those where the subject and background are of a similar colour. Tracking performance of moving subjects is also better than ever-when shooting a human subject, the correct subject can be tracked even if another person appears in front of your subject.

Its not called the best VLOG camera just like that!
This lovely , light, sturdy, fast and multi function camera is a real joy to use and even though not pocketable i was delighted to have it compared to the DSLR i had to carry around on my trips. I am a bit clumsy and i tend to drop things but the camera held on even after dropping it twice on a hard floor.I haven't really used it to its full potential just yet and stuck to the Auto mode mostly plus occasionally used other modes on the dial to test its capability. I must say the Auto mode itself is quite impressive and pictures come out great during the day but i must emphasize that night photography is its alma mater. It even beats my Dslr (6 year old fujifilm) in night shots. I just loved it and it made me confidently flick open my camera every time i wanted to capture night scenes. Its quite fast and the moments can be captured without it passing away before you could get it on film.Loved the nice big touch screen which can be turned towards you to take some good selfies. It can be touched to focus on a particular object but its not the best at that really.The video is super stable although sound comes out very puny in videos which is kinda disappointing. A few mins of vid on the highest quality does take a big chunk of memory as you'd expect.Now the focusing is something i didnt quite like as it does take some time to focus and when it does, it fails to capture what you want and is quite timid.The flash was quite irritating as flipping it open in auto mode wouldnt let the flash work so you had to change the mode on the dial for it to actually function.All in all, a very good camera if you wana let go of the heavy and chunky DSLR's and replace it with an almost equally capable camera, for let's say a long day of sightseeing or a bit of a bike where carrying heavy loads isnt the best. Also i would always prefer this for night photography over my Dslr.

Best cam ever!! PERIOD!!
For a price of 40k you get the best cam ever. The pictures are crisp and life like. I have never been a fan of DSLR as they are bulky. This is a better option(probably the best) when you travel and don't want to carry a bulky DSLR.

Great camera
One of the best camera in its category. Great picture quality and handy to use. Would be better if canon could have provided better battery life. Need recharging battery after about 1 hr of use including video recordings.Otherwise for performance it is a great camera.

Easy to carry and fine picture quality. Good for travel vloggers
It's been 5 months of using Canon g7x Mark ii from ju. I would say it is a compact camera, easy to carry and easy to capture. While ordering it, I was so confused about whether to buy a DSLR or a compact camera. As a DSLR camera is more valued by everyone around. I compared a lot of similar range DSLRs and Sony compact cameras with this one and I found mark ii better. I was clear that I don't want a bulky camera for my everyday shoot and travels.If you are new to photography and don't want to worry about lenses and weight then you must go for Canon G7x Mark ii. It saves a lot of time, it takes less than a second to click a beautiful shot if you're keeping it on automatic mode. No doubt that picture quality is good. Excellent touchscreen makes it fun to use. You can easily navigate via touch. Screen can be adjusted according to the angle that you want to click. It helps in clicking in between crowd, and also from a low angle.There is one more model which can suit your similar requirements i.e. Canon EOS M200 Mirrorless Camera. It stands at 39500 INR.If I come to delivery and packaging then I would say service was really good. I received my parcel in 2 days with good packaging. I have attached all the pictures for your reference.I hope it will help you in taking your decision.

Me mandaram um produto devolvido!
A caixa veio chacoalhando, achei estranho, quando abri, a câmera estava igual a foto, solto, sem nenhuma proteção. Nem saco plástico, nada. Já vi muitos vídeos de unboxing, e a câmera é feita no Japão, todos sabemos que um produto japonês nunca viria assim, sem nenhuma proteção, deixando a câmera solta. Me senti lesada, pedi um produto novo, não um produto devolvido, e sabe lá qual foi o motivo da devolução. Péssima sensação

This camera is amazing for its size.
Amazing camera. I'm a professional photographer and I am extremely impressed with the picture quality. I also love all the manual controls and the ease-of-use. I shoot weddings on a Canon 5D Mark III and a Canon 6D. In a pinch I could easily use this camera if I needed to.The picture I have attached is a 15 second exposure with my kids running around with solar lights. This shot is un-edited and was shot in raw. The only thing I did with the picture was transfer it via Wi-Fi to my cell phone using the Canon picture app.

I really like this camera. It's a bit expensive for a Point & Shoot, but it competes well with low- to medium end dSLR cameras.
I delayed writing this review for 4 months, just to be sure my opinion doesn't change. It hasn't, I really like this camera! It takes great quality pictures. It has a zoom lens at a great range (24mm - 105mm), it has all of the automatic features you could ask for (focus, aperture, film speed, shutter speed). Or, you can select manual shutter speed or aperture and the camera will set everything else. Or, you can select all-manual, if you want to set everything yourself. It has a high pixel count (24 megapixel), and it can even be set to shoot in RAW so you can do lots of darkroom magic, if you want.I shot with a manual SLR (a Canon FTb) from the early 70's to the late 90's, then I lost interest. I had purchased a 35mm lens and a 135mm lens to compliment the 50mm supplied with the SLR. I also had lots of peripherals; flashes, macro tubes, remote releases, yada, yada, yada. I felt like a pack mule every time I left the house. I found out a few things about a manual SLR: they're heavy; I took 80% of my pictures with the stock 50mm lens; and the picture quality was only good when I had plenty of time to set up the shot. Mostly, the pictures I got were just on the edge of over- or under-exposed, and were often barely in focus.So, when I decided to get back into photography, I decided to buy a new camera and I wanted that camera to offer: point and shoot for simplest use; good quality pictures so it had to offer a high megapixel rating; a zoom lens that was about the range of my old manual lenses; and light weight so it would be easy to carry around all day.This camera hit all of these requirements and at a reasonable price. The pictures I'm getting with this point and shoot are far superior to those I got from my old SLR. I just couldn't be happier, though I will admit that a modern dSLR will probably also show a similarly dramatic improvement over the old manual SLR's, but at a much higher price.Some cautions:1) Buy a high speed memory card, at least 90 MB/sec. Dumping 30 MB of a picture into a memory card takes time, so a fast memory card is a must to get the fastest possible shot rate.2) Look into the Lensmate filter adapter. This device enables you to attach a UV filter to protect the zoom lens from dirt and water.3) Buy a spare battery, preferably a Canon (a bit expensive, but worth it). Digital cameras live and die by their batteries, so it makes sense to have a good quality spare when you're out for extended shooting.4) Buy a decent strap, the wrist strap supplied with the camera really isn't enough. Look at the Peak Design Camera Leash; rugged, flexible, and easy to remove when storing the camera.If you want the ability to change out lenses, this camera is not for you. But, if you want to take lots of great pictures easily and without the hassle of lugging a lot of equipment around, look into this camera!

Impressive follow-up to the G7X
I want to first discuss the autofocus. This camera DOES NOT use dual pixel AF or any other phase detect AF system in it. Manage your autofocus expectations accordingly. Especially in low light and in video. However, it does have a noticeable improvement in speed over its predecessor and for most situations it's fine.What this camera excels at, just like its predecessor, is stills. It has excellent low and mid ISO image quality. I prefer the Fine Detail setting as my picture style as it provide excellent sharpness and punchy, great-looking colors by default. But there are a number of other picture styles to suit your tastes. I also love that this camera now has in camera raw processing, which can be useful.It seems also like Canon has quietly made some improvements to the lens because it seems a bit sharper than the one on the G7X even though they are supposed to be the same.Video quality is also excellent and quite sharp. The autofocus is pretty good but because it's contrast detect, you will see a little bit of back and forth motion with the focus from time but otherwise it's not bad. Great for casual uses such as vlogging.The camera controls are well laid-out. I like the chunkier grip and that the exposure comp dial has better feedback to it. The one its predecessor could be a little hard to turn (but kudos to Canon for at least including one - Sony RX100 has no such dial on top). The LCD is bright and clear and also is more flexible, which means it's a lot easier to compose on in bright sunlight. Battery life is not stellar but once again, this also an improvement over the original G7X. It should last you a day of shooting.Complaints? I think the major one is, and this seems to be an issue on both the G7X and the RX100 series cameras, is that dust can easily get inside the lens. Even though the camera has a built-in automatic lens cap, it does a poor job at keeping dust and other particles out. I would recommend getting a secondary lens cap which can run anywhere from $5-$15 at the big NYC camera retailers or here on Amazon. I also think the noise reduction in the JPEGS is a little heavy-handed by default. You should turn this down to low.But overall, a great enthusiast compact camera. The 1" Sony sensor inside is still relatively small compared to APSC rebels or mirrorless but it punches above its weight in image quality. If you really don't see yourself going much beyond the kit lens if you were to buy a Rebel, this could be a great alternative. It takes great photos and video, has improved (but not perfect) AF and battery life over the original, and it comfortable to shoot with.

A Fantastic Still Camera with Pretty Good Video
I bought this camera as an alternative to my DSLR gear and to get some good video of my daughters. This camera does not disappoint. The photos are excellent, it is easy to use, and is really small and light.The pros:- The size! It is a little bigger than pocket size, but fits great in a purse and definitely in cargo short pockets- Focus is quick and accurate (unless your subject is a 4yo that moves faster than a running back)- Picture quality is excellent for the sensor size (or for any camera really)- Battery life is reasonable (and they don't take forever to charge)- The image stabilization saved my bacon a time or two. Not the 4 stops you see on a $2k lens, but still pretty good- having a dial for exposure compensation at thumb level is great- Having full manual mode as well as the semi-auto modes (Av, Tv) is great for those of us that want that level of control- The Wi-Fi works well and the mobile app (on Android at least) works great- Raw files!- Video is great (even if not 4K)Cons:- It might be small, but the metal body makes it a little on the heavy side- There is only one fully auto mode - no "Sports", "Landscape", or "Portrait" modes- High speed continuous mode in Raw+JPEG fills the buffer in a hurry (I know, a bit nitpicky)- If you put the strap on the right side (from the rear) you will probably hit the Wi-Fi button when putting the camera in your pocket or a snug case. That drains the battery in a hurry.- Audio quality is, well, not very good. The microphone is in a spot easily covered or blocked by a hand holding the camera.All in all, I am very happy with the purchase. My wife also appreciates that we own a camera that doesn't weigh a few pounds or require a degree in rocket surgery to use. Given the popularity of it's predecessor, The G7X MKII is likely to become the compact vlogging of choice for those that have the budget.If this review was helpful to you, please click the "yes" button below - it helps Amazon (and those of us who write reviews) know if the information provided is of value to others.
