Stellar UI and handling however so very disappointed with the optics. Basically unusable for any shots requiring edge-to-edge sharpness (landscapes, architecture) below 5.6 aperture and 50mm equivalent focal length. More than soft edges, soft well into the centre.

I have never used ABT before and tried ordering this product from another suppliers which had the unit on Back Order. I checked there site and quickly called Customer Service to confirm availability. They were quick to address and answer my questions.

Customer services was outstanding; Speed of shipping

Canon's PowerShot G7X Mark II builds-upon its predecessor to become one of the most attractive pocket compacts for enthusiasts. It shares the same core premise as the original, delivering a comfortable step-up in quality and control over a typical point-and-shoot or phone, while still remaining...

Great image quality from 1in sensor and DIGIC 7; Flexible 24-100mm zoom range with bright aperture; Fast and confident AF system; Tilting screen with touch capabilities; Built-in Wifi with NFC and smartphone control; De-clickable lens control ring; USB charging

No built-in viewfinder; nor any means to connect one; Lens a little soft in corners at 24mm; No 4k video or slow motion movies; No in-camera panorama mode; Can't remote-trigger movie recordings over Wifi

I like the Canon G7 X , one of the company's 1-inch sensor enthusiast compacts -- the one without the viewfinder -- but that model just can't keep up when it comes to speed. Given that its successor, the G7 X Mark II, is fundamentally the same camera (albeit with some important enhancements), it's...

The Canon PowerShot G7 X II is nicely designed with good photo quality for its class; and improves noticeably over the earlier model

Still lags behind the competition with respect to features and some aspects of performance

Keeping the same 24-100mm eq. zoom lens and 20MP sensor as its predecessor, the refreshed Canon G7X II gets an updated exterior design as well as a faster DIGIC 7 image processor. What we get is a faster, more capable premium compact that still captures excellent images across a wide range of ISOs.

Very good image quality, Improved high ISO performance; Improved handling; Faster 8 fps burst mode; Burst rate no longer slows down with RAW files; Improved buffer depth

Soft corners at wide angle; No viewfinder; No 4K video; Mediocre battery life; Sluggish buffer clearing; Continuous AF struggles on fast subjects

With smartphones all but eliminating the existence of the low-cost point-and-shoot camera, manufacturers have pivoted to create pricey, premium pocket cameras that can compete with SLRs on image quality.

Wide aperture zoom lens; 1-inch image sensor; Tilting touch-screen display; Quick autofocus; Raw image capture support; Wi-Fi with NFC

No hot shoe or EVF; Edge softness at wide angle; Occasional autofocus misses; Doesn't support 4K video capture; Omits microphone input

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II is a well-designed enthusiast compact that's a pleasure to use. It offers a versatile focal range, very good image quality, a large buffer for continuous shooting and 1080/60p video capture.

Canon was late to the 1-inch sensor compact cameras game, following in the Sony's RX100 footsteps to deliver the original PowerShot G7 X back in 2014. In the period since then this larger-than-average sensor sector has become a battleground.

Great responsiveness; customisable lens control ring adds click-stop/smooth control; decent low-mid ISO image quality; fast 24-100mm f/1.8-2.8 lens; pocketable design; touch-control tilt-angle LCD

No viewfinder or facility to add one; high ISO image quality (over ISO 1600) not all that; battery is only so-so; Sony RX100 IV is still a step ahead; where are the next-level autofocus features

The Canon G7X Mark II sits in Canon's premium range of compact cameras. It's intended to appeal to those who want a device that offers a high level of control and excellent image quality, but slots into your pocket.

Large sensor; Wide aperture lens; Touch-sensitive screen; Wi-Fi

Lack of viewfinder; Short zoom; Macro focusing is tricky

Bought this to supplement a big Canon DSLR. Has many of the same features, very flexible settings, neat swivel screen, feels solid to hold, quick to respond etc. Shoots RAW images as well as JPEG, good results and also very good HD video (no 4K). Controls for speed/aperture/ISO etc easy to access.
