Camera Overview — Canon G5 X Mark II
Key Features — Canon G5 X Mark II
20MP 1-Inch Sensor: Larger than typical compact camera sensors, the 1-inch format captures more light and detail for improved image quality across lighting conditions.
DIGIC 8 Image Processor: Canon's DIGIC 8 processor handles noise reduction, autofocus, and burst processing, enabling the camera's high-speed shooting capabilities.
High-Speed RAW Burst Mode: Captures full-resolution RAW files at high frame rates, giving shooters the ability to isolate precise moments during fast action.
4K Video at 30p: Records 4K footage at 30p from a pocketable body, an uncommon capability at this size class.
Pop-Up Electronic Viewfinder: A 2.36m-dot EVF retracts flush with the body when not in use, offering a viewfinder option rarely found in compact point-and-shoot cameras.
Tilting Touchscreen LCD: The 3-inch, 1,040,000-dot touchscreen tilts to support low-angle and overhead shooting with touch-based control and focus selection.
