Canon PowerShot Digital Camera [G7 X Mark II] with Wi-Fi & NFC, LCD Screen, and 1-inch Sensor - Black, 100-1066C001

This is my 11th-15th digital camera. Its somewhere around that number. I've always upgraded and I never keep this old cameras around me what so ever. Currently posses the Nikon D5500, GoPro 4 Silver, and this camera. My last pocket camera was the Sony RX100 M2. I was originally waiting for the Sony RX100 M5 to come out but it never did until last month. I decided to buy this G7X M2 camera since its $700. Part of the big reason is the LCD screen able to flip 180 degrees. Great for vlogging and seeing what you are filming. This camera came out in this summer and it was still cheaper than the Sony RX100 M4 even till this day, which came out in mid 2015. The Sony RX100 M5 came out and its $1000. That's a $300 difference. How much different between the photos and videos? Not much. 4K, Slow Mo, Super Slow Mo, Super Duper Slow Mo, okay but do you use it all the time? For me, I wont spend that kind of money for a pocket camera. This $700 is more than viable for the things I do. Do purchase a screen protector. Lexmor been my favorite but they have not made one for them yet. The screen protector I have is very flimsy but its doable for now. Do get extra batteries. On 60FPS for video it shoots 16 minutes and 24 seconds max. It can record over 1 hours with a canon battery. I always have extra batteries. I know its a bit pricey $50 for canon battery but hey do you want your camera exploding in your face? I did have great experience with Wasabi batteries not sure they made a generic one for this model yet. Overall I like this camera and it gets the job done. I didn't want the lens to protrude while off. I've attached a screen shot of the pic I took with this camera. It was a minor touch up with VSCO filter. I've already ordered this in max size of 18"X12" print to see how it looks with 300dpi. The camera to phone connection does suck. I need to be on a real wifi signal to connect. On the Sony I can connect my phone through bluetooth. If I am underground, on a plane the Sony was no problem. The Canon wont work. Also the Canon app isn't great compared to the Sony. It lags a lot. That's not gonna ruin my experience what so ever. It's not a big deal. I made a few videos from my trip with this camera because I did not want to carry any DSLR with me. All my friends thought I had some kind of professional camera. Nope. I had a camera that fits inside my pocket. Do check it out. youtube dot com /hellowu I'll def keep this camera through the entire 2017. Hopefully I can use and abuse the heck out of this camera to get my money's worth!

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.

This product is a good compact camera and for its level it meets expectations. I purchased for Vlogging and realised after i did not thoroughly research - it odes not have the microphone jack. While the inbuilt microphone is reasonable its not as good as the external. The next model up the Mk III has this feature.

Muy bueno

Câmera sensacional e vendedor muito bom! Entrou em contato pelo whatsapp e deu toda a assistência até a entrega, que foi muito rápida por sinal.

This is my purchase of the year! It is a perfect camera for vlogging, very practical to bring everywhere with you, easy to operate, and lots of setting options. I film 95% of my vlogs indoors and it performs very well in low-light conditions and you can adjust the aperture setting to the point where a pitch black room can look like you are in a room with lots of natural light - it is insane! Auto-focus is quite fast and I love that you can adjust the background to get the blurry effect so it looks cinematic. I heard 50/50 reviews about sound quality and honestly...I think this camera has great quality. I tested it in a room where there is a lot of echoing while I was talking filming a segment and had my iPhone 6s and a voice recorder operating all at the same time. When I got home to compare the audio from all the devices, this camera picked up my voice the best. If you are that precise with your sound quality though, I would suggest you buying a separate cardioid microphone and just syncing your audio and video when editing. I have not had to do this yet as I really have not encountered audio issues. Please note that there is no external microphone jack - I know a lot of people ask about this. :-) I purchased this product in October - it arrived a week and a half earlier than the expected delivery date which was a huge bonus, however when I received the package there was a minor issue that I contacted the seller. They gave me some options on what I would like to do, which was quite accommodating. Customer service was great. I have not used the camera to its full potential yet, but I am excited to test it out more since I really only got to play with it for about a week. I hope you will find this review helpful!

I purchased this because I previously had another g7x. I’ve charged this battery at least 3 times now to full and it doesn’t last more than 10 mins! My other g7x lasted 4+ HOURS with a full charge! It’s only one week old! however Amazon doesn’t give you the option to contact seller about this issue. The camera is also in Chinese and the language won’t change. I only know how to work it because I learnt how on my previous one! Maybe it’s a defective battery however I don’t think I should pay for a new one since I just bought this so beware! Shame.
