Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II Review

The Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II camera is more responsive than its predecessor, and squeezes a big 1-inch sensor into a compact frame. We've come to expect 1-inch sensors in premium cameras. The sensor size, about four times the surface area compared with a standard point-and-shoot and six times the size of an iPhone sensor, delivers images with a clear advantage over phone snaps, especially in dim light.

Part of Canon's newest line-up of compact cameras, the G9X MkII boasts a very compact build, packing in a 1in sensor capable of capturing 20.1MP stills or 1080p 60fps Full HD video… The lens only offers a 3x optical zoom (considerably less than the two opposite), with a 35mm equivalent length of...

Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II Review

The PowerShot G9 X Mark II is a pocketable camera that packs a 1"-type sensor and 28-84mm equivalent F2.0-4.9 lens. On the surface it offers good build quality, a broad feature set, an intuitive touch-based interface and excellent connectivity. However, its lens is very soft, which greatly affects image quality, and battery life is poor.
