Camera Overview — Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II
Key Features — Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II
20MP 1-Inch Sensor: Larger than typical point-and-shoot sensors, the 1-inch 20MP CMOS sensor captures more light and detail, particularly useful in low-light situations.
DIGIC 7 Image Processor: Canon's DIGIC 7 processor handles fast image processing and contributes to improved noise reduction across the ISO range.
ISO 125–12800: A broad sensitivity range gives shooters flexibility in varied lighting conditions without switching to a larger camera.
Optical Image Stabilization: Built-in OIS reduces the effect of camera shake during handheld shooting, especially useful in lower light or at longer focal lengths.
3.0" Tilting Touchscreen: The 1,040,000-dot tilting touchscreen allows for comfortable framing at low or high angles and supports touch-to-focus operation.
8fps Burst Shooting: Continuous shooting at up to 8 frames per second makes it practical to capture fast-moving subjects in a pocketable camera.
