Features

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II has a 20.2MP 1-inch BSI-CMOS sensor paired with Canon's latest DIGIC-7 image processor and offers an ISO range of 125-12800, which means it does well in low light conditions so you aren't always in need of the flash which makes images flat often.

The lens has a fast maximum aperture range of F1.8-2.8 and an equivalent focal range of 24-100mm. With a 9-blade curved aperture diagram as well as an ND filter. A compact metal body with a control dial around the lens, a dedicated exposure comp dial on the top and the usual rear dial on the rear making the controls spread out some.

Your phone also doubles as a remote control which makes group photos easier to capture with everyone in the frame. The battery time on this camera is a little less with it being able to shoot an average of 265 shots on a single charge but the battery itself isn't too costly or large so you can carry a spare with you.
