Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II

Can't Get Photos

The camera is small and takes great photos, which does absolutely no good unless they can be transferred to a computer or phone! The wifi function is glitchy. Called Canon. They had me download another software patch that is so complicated I can't get it to work.

Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II

There is some stiff competition in this space. You can get the older Sony RX100 II for about the same price and enjoy a longer zoom range, but you won't get a touch screen. The next model up in Canon's line, the G7 X Mark II , is more expensive, but features an articulating touch LCD and a brighter,...

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. The Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II ($529.99) is one of the smallest cameras available with a 1-inch sensor. It delivers excellent images, and features a big touch LCD that will appeal to photographers used to using a smartphone, but the lens is rather short, and dim at the telephoto end. It's a solid option, but our Editors' Choice in the premium price range remains the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III, which features a brighter lens and EVF.

Compare that with the RX100 III, which is just a bit larger, at 2.3 by 4.0 by 1.6 inches, and heavier, at 10.2 ounces. Canon sel...

Canon G9X Mark II

The Canon G9X Mark II is a huge advance on its predecessor and fixes its most problematic faults. It may not be the best choice for creative photographers, but as a casual snapshot camera it's very good indeed.

Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II review: Touchscreen camera power in your pocket

Compact cameras as they were once known are dead and buried. Now if you go looking for a dedicated camera - one that's not on your smartphone, anyway - it'll come with a larger-scale sensor and more features to help it stand out.

Five Stars

Camera works great, love it. The touch screen is impressive.

So I asked for this camera for Christmas instead of a new Iphone, mainly as a pocketable walkabout and for family snaps. After I read the DPReview review, I was apprehensive. The lens in that review certainly appeared soft, in contrast to other reviews by Imaging Resource and Cameralabs.

The camera I always have with me

I was looking for a camera that I could carry all the time, but would be better quality than my phone. I tried various others, decided a one inch sensor was minimum, and the Canon G9X is the smallest body with this sensor size.
