Here's my camera wishlist: I want it to be easy to use, not overly complicated, take great images that don't need a lot of post-processing in a range of environments, be portable (as in small enough to pop in my bag comfortably, rather than needing a bag of its own) and not - possibly most...

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.

As we mentioned earlier, our biggest gripe with the camera (as with many small shooters) is the lack of an electronic viewfinder, which the Sony RX100 IV still manages to pack. Other niggles include the battery life, which while extended over the original G7X (and able to give 240 shots), still...

Canon's new PowerShot G7 X Mark II is a very capable and powerful, ultra-compact digicam. Sporting the new DIGIC 7 imaging processor, 20.2-Megapixel CMOS imaging sensor, and 4.2x optical zoom lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.8-2.8; this combination of Canon's "HS" system is sure to impress.

Scene Recognition shooting mode is accurate and easy to use without worry; Canon's HS system led by the 4.2x optical f/1.8-2.8 lens is awesome in low-light situations; Large; 1-inch CMOS image sensor provides excellent overall image quality; Beautiful bokeh from a compact camera; Dedicated Video...

Lack of 4K video recording mode; No audio input; 4.2x zoom is a little limited; doesn't have the range of most compact cameras; No EVF or OVF (usually found on many of the higher level compacts

Canon's G7x Mark II is a compact camera that arrives at a time when the latest smartphones have shown what amazing pictures you can shoot on the go.

Pros: This is an amazing camera. I use Canon 5D as my primary camera but on my last trip to the White House i was only allowed to carry a small pocket camera. The results inside the White House were as good as my 5D and colors were amazing. As flash photography is not allowed the camera did its job.

These days, with powerful smartphone cameras, it is less compelling to carry a separate compact camera for casual photography. This was what I discovered when I received the review unit of the Canon G7 X Mark II from Canon Singapore. I brought it around with…

It's very beautiful for photography and video and it's small and you can carry around with your hand is big cameras

It's very beautiful for photography and video

A trusty premium compact that’s held back from greatness by a few missing features

Lovely chunky build; Photos are bang on the money; Reasonable zoom

No viewfinder; No 4K video; More feature-packed rivals at this price

It’s a tough old time for compact cameras. Canon’s G7 X Mark II is good at pretty much everything, yet it's still not the kind of device you should buy no questions asked. The competition at this kind of price is absolutely ferocious. For sheer point-and-shoot convenience, this camera is almost untouchable. It’s lightweight, has a decent enough zoom and takes a great photo. If you’re not that fussed about 4K video - maybe you don’t have a 4K TV yet - then it’s only really the lack of a viewfinder that’s holding the G7 X Mark II back from a five-star rating. So while it’s frustrating that Canon doesn’t push the boat out a little bit more with its premium compacts, there’s still precious little to complain about with this effort.
