The editors liked
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

The new Digic 7 processor means fast 8fps burst shooting and lo
The editors didn't like
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
Still lags behind the competition with respect to features and some aspects of performance
No viewfinder
No 4K video
More feature-packed rivals at this price
No viewfinder or facility to add one
High ISO image quality (over ISO 1600) not all that
Battery is only so-so
Sony RX100 IV is still a step ahead
Where are the next-level autofocus features
Screen not fully articulating
Limited zoom range
Lack of built-in viewfinder may discourage some people
The Sony RX100 series remains to be beat, but given their premium price point, the S$799 Canon PowerShot G7X Mark II is a much more palatable option with a handful of unique features to call its own, or go for G5X if you needed EVF. There are unique featu...

We were quite taken by the G7X II during our time with it. While it won't be replacing a DSLR as our go-to camera of choice, we can certainly see times that it would be preferable to lugging around an interchangeable lens system, or dropping down to re...

Fast lens with useful 24100mm equiv. range, Very good image quality (especially from Raw), Excellent color rendition, Fast burst shooting with deep buffer, even with Raw, Tilting touchscreen LCD, Surprisingly good depth tracking, Muchneeded grip makes cam
Heavyhanded noise reduction and sharpening, Battery life remains below average, Confusing AF modes, with no ability to track subjects in burst mode, Many camera functions 'locked up' while buffer is cleared after shooting a burst, Small rear dial can lead
The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II is a well-designed enthusiast compact that's a pleasure to use. It offers a versatile focal range, very good image quality, a large buffer for continuous shooting and 1080/60p video capture. Sharpening and noise reduction...

Great image quality from 1in sensor and DIGIC 7, Flexible 24-100mm zoom range with bright aperture, Fast and confident AF system, Tilting screen with touch capabilities, Built-in Wifi with NFC and smartphone control, De-clickable lens control ring, USB ch
No built-in viewfinder, nor any means to connect one, Lens a little soft in corners at 24mm, No 4k video or slow motion movies, No in-camera panorama mode, Can't remote-trigger movie recordings over Wifi, Continue: In depth
The PowerShot G7X is Canon's answer to Sony's RX100 series, packing a larger than average 1in sensor into a pocketable body. The G7X Mark II is the latest version, sharing the same 1in sensor and 4.2x / 24-100mm / f1.8-2.8 zoom as its predecessor, but now...
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,
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-s...
