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.
Pros:
- Pocketable design
- decent image quality from 1-inch sensor
- touschreen controls
- works well enough in variety of lighting conditions
Cons:
- No tilt-angle screen feels restrictive
- limited zoom range
- limited maximum aperture at full zoom
- the G7 X II is a more logical proposition

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.
Pros:
- Great Picture Quality

But the touchscreen menu is insanely complicated if you go off "Auto" mode and the booklet that comes with it is of minimal help; a...

Compact lightweight camera. Relatively easy to use but the menus and option selections are many and difficult to navigate. When card is full it does not state that, it just simply won't work (IE won't take pictures).

Pocketable Picturemaking
A strong recommendation for this Compact Camera and I was pleased to find it available from John Lewis. This 20 mpx camera copes easily with my requirements (like wanting to manually alter shutter speeds and aperture settings) and its compactness means it'll fit into almost any available pocket.

love it
Great for general purpose shooting and for studies with the idea of returning for higher quality images with better gear. Great image quality but if they could get a g7 lens in it or whatever fuji uses in the z100 it would be ideal

The PowerShot G9 X Mark II is the second generation of Canon's entry-level 1"-sensor compact camera, and the company has made some nice improvements over the original mode. Burst shooting and buffer size are much better, the UI is a bit snappier and battery life has improved a bit.
