Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II Compact Camera

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II Compact Camera is characterised by great image quality and its large feature-set. Featuring a 20 Megapixel 1-Inch Type Back-Illuminated CMOS sensor and DIGIC 7 image processor, the G7 X MkII is capable of delivering an expanded sensitivity of ISO 25600 and achieves smooth image quality with reduced noise when working in low-light conditions. Due to the agility of the DIGIC 7 processor, it is also capable of capturing still photos at up to 8 fps as well as Full 1080p HD video at 60fps. Complementing the top-notch sensor and processor combination is a versatile 4.2x zoom lens, featuring Canon’s acclaimed optics, which provides a 24-100mm equivalent focal length range. This covers wide-angle to short-telephoto perspectives. A large f/1.8-2.8 maximum aperture maintains consistent performance throughout the zoom range. This fast aperture also benefits shooting in difficult lighting conditions. The lens design is surrounded by a familiar control ring that offers intuitive control over settings, and a large 3.0 inch tilting touchscreen LCD provides a natural means for composing imagery from a variety of shooting angles. Additionally, the G7 X Mark II also features built-in Wi-Fi with NFC for wireless sharing of imagery to smartphones or tablets, as well as remote camera control from linked mobile devices.

20.1MP 1" CMOS Sensor & DIGIC 7 Image Processor

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II utilises a high resolution 20.1 Megapixel sensor and DIGIC 7 processor combination to deliver notable image quality in the compact camera range. Back-Illuminated CMOS technology enables the sensor to further enhance colour accuracy, tonality and produce low-noise imagery even in dim lighting conditions with an expanded sensitivity up to ISO 25600. The G7 X Mark II is capable of an impressive continuous shooting rate of up to 8 frames per second and can achieve this in JPEG as well as RAW formats. In addition, the DIGIC 7 processor avails the ability to record Full HD 1080p60 video in the MP4 format and with stereo sound.

Fast Focus & Intelligent Image Stabiliser

DIGIC 7 processor technology delivers fast auto focus and focus tracking speed allowing you to maintain sharp focus on moving subject, even in difficult lighting conditions and low contrast situations. Helping you to capture sharp, blur-free, images is a powerful Dual Sensing Image Stabiliser system that intelligently detects camera shake and stabilises the captured image.

The Intelligent IS image stabilisation system minimises the appearance of camera shake for a variety of shooting scenarios:

• Normal IS: Corrects for a wide variety of camera movement types when shooting stills.
• Panning IS: Intended for use when making tracking shots, this setting ensures that IS will not interfere with desired lateral camera movements.
• Macro (Hybrid) IS: Used for both stills and video recording, this setting corrects for shift-type camera shake that is common when photographing close-up subjects. It also compensates for motion blur associated with recording video while walking.
• Tripod: Image stabilisation is deactivated when shooting stills atop a tripod.
• Dynamic IS: This setting is effective when recording video using wider focal lengths and simultaneously walking or moving.
• Powered IS: Ideally suited for shooting video with telephoto focal lengths, this mode compensates for the camera movements that become more apparent with greater zoom magnifications.
• Active Tripod IS: Unlike the stills tripod mode, this video-specific tripod mode compensates for slight amounts of shake that can be caused when recording movies from a tripod.

Sleek & Clever Body Design

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II sports a sleek and compact design with a large 3-inch touchscreen LCD with a high 1.04-million-dot resolution for an ultra clear view of your subject. The touchscreen is tilt-able to 180º upward and 45º downward, which aids in shooting from a variety of interesting camera angles.

The lens is surrounded by a manual control ring designed for intuitive control over pre-selected exposure functions. The control ring can be operated in one of two modes: with clicked intervals for tactile recognition of setting changes, or without clicks for a smooth and quiet transitions between adjustments.

The PowerShot G7 X Mark II now features built-in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity, allowing you to wirelessly share your images or movies to any compatible mobile device with ease. The camera can be linked up to a smartphone or tablet and can be remote controlled using the Canon Camera Connect app.
