I bought this camera for photographing my hike on the John Muir Trail in California. The quality of the photos amaze me and there are just so many options. My favorite feature is the Star shooting mode, I've never had a camera where you can actually catch stars or any night time scenery. AMAZING!

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).

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.

Great Picture Quality; Lightweight

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.

An ultra-compact camera packing a relatively large 1-inch sensor - it's a compelling combination...

Miniature size; Good image quality from relatively large sensor; Great selection of serious photographic controls; Well priced compared to rivals

Fixed screen - does not tilt; No electronic viewfinder; No 4K video; Not necessarily better than a phone

After much research, I bought this camera to use on an Alaska cruise. It is lightweight, easy to use in Auto mode and takes high-quality photos with a nice zoom lens. 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...

The PowerShot G9 X Mark II is a pocketable camera that packs a 1"-type sensor and 28-84mm equivalent F2.0-4.9 lens. On the surface it offers good build quality, a broad feature set, an intuitive touch-based interface and excellent connectivity. However, its lens is very soft, which greatly affects image quality, and battery life is poor.

Everyday point-and-shoot photography;

Sports and action, portraiture, long excursions.;

We've come to expect 1-inch sensors in premium cameras. The sensor size, about four times the surface area compared with a standard point-and-shoot and six times the size of an iPhone sensor, delivers images with a clear advantage over phone snaps, especially in dim light. The Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II ($529.99) is one of the smallest cameras available with a 1-inch sensor. It delivers excellent images, and features a big touch LCD that will appeal to photographers used to using a smartphone, but the lens is rather short, and dim at the telephoto end. It's a solid option, but our Editors' Choice in the premium price range remains the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III, which features a brighter lens and EVF. Design The G9 X Mark II ($449.99 at Amazon) is a small, pocket-friendly camera. It measures 2.3 by 3.9 by 1.2 inches (HWD) and weighs just 7.3 ounces. Compare that with the RX100 III, which is just a bit larger, at 2.3 by 4.0 by 1.6 inches, and heavier, at 10.2 ounces. Canon sel...

The Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II camera is more responsive than its predecessor, and squeezes a big 1-inch sensor into a compact frame.
