Long-range viewing and recording with a compact, pocketable design, the Canon PowerShot ZOOM is a unique digital camera that blends the capabilities of a PowerShot point-and-shoot with the reach of something like a stabilised monocular. Incorporating an impressive 100-400mm equivalent focal length zoom range, with 2x digital zoom possible, this sleek camera is ideal for handheld birding, wildlife viewing, and even sports subjects. A 12MP CMOS sensor records both stills and full HD 1080p video up to 30 fps and continuous autofocus helps to keep subjects sharp. Video recording is further benefitted by a built-in microphone and Face Tracking AF when working with human subjects. Additionally, image stabilisation benefits both stills and videos by reducing the appearance of camera shake for steadier recording in various lighting conditions. The unique feature set is complemented by an equally unique physical design that is suitable for easy one-handed use. The compact form factor is ideal for carrying and a 2.36m-dot electronic viewfinder, with 60 fps refresh rate, enables clean, realistic eye-level viewing. A three-way one-touch switchable button makes for fast zoom changes and the camera also features a microSD memory card slot for saving files and a USB Type-C port for charging the internal battery. Additionally, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity pair with the Canon Camera Connect App for remote live view monitoring and wireless file sharing to a mobile device.

I consider myself a serious Hobbyist and in the past have owned a Canon Rebel, G12, and currently an EOS 6D. I dont always want to lug around a larger camera so I purchased the G7 X Mark II for those occasions. Because Im familiar with Canon products I find the controls very easy to use and access. I have only had the camera a short time, but seem pleased with the images, operating speed and shooting features. I have not tried out all the shooting features, such as the starnight sky, because I live in the city, but Im looking forward to doing so soon when I get out someplace where you can actually see stars. I also cant comment on the video since I havet really used it yet other than playing around to make sure it works.Im giving it four stars because, at this ... MoreI consider myself a serious Hobbyist and in the past have owned a Canon Rebel, G12, and currently an EOS 6D.

Outside on a sunny day I find the glare on the LCD screen can sometimes make it difficult to compose a shot. I have found this particularly true when using the macro setting for a close up shot. Hot shoe, why not In reality I seldom use a flash and I know this camera is a bit small for using with my larger flash units, but I have a small one I purchased for my G12 and I miss not being able to bounce my flash off a wall or ceiling.

I got it at Best Buy a few years ago I needed something like it on relatively short notice, sorry bh and its one of my favorite cameras. My other camera is a canon 6D, which is excellent, but its not what I want to carry with me when Im going to be out and about for a long time. This one basically takes all the most useful facilities of a DSLR and puts them into as small a form factor as possible.The lens is fast, and the built in profile seems very effective at ironing out geometric distortion I havent noticed any. I love the focal length coverage, especially the 24mmequivalent wide. I really like that it shoots in raw, can reach high ISOs, and maintains great dynamic range and color. I will say that it gets noisy somewhat quickly, but thats fine, because if I was ... MoreI got it at Best Buy a few years ago I needed something like it on relatively short notice, sorry bh and its one of my favorite cameras.

I will say that it gets noisy somewhat quickly, but thats fine, because if I was shooting in a situation that demanded low noise Id be using a DSLR anyway.The controls are excellent as well. I use it on manual, with the front ring set to aperture and the rear ring set to shutter speed, with auto ISO on. The physical exposure comp dial is something every canon camera should have why doesnt my 6D have this because with that combination of settings, I can always have a proper exposure, with full uninterrupted control over all exposure settings, with pseudo ISO control via the dial. Its perfect.The built in AF beam is helpful, Ive never shot with it off but autofocus has generally not been fussy, even in the dark. Ive never used the flash, but its nice that its there. Battery life isnt bad from a full charge, though its good to bring a power bank just in case. I like that it can charge via microusb, though I dont like that it cant charge and shoot at the same time.In terms of usability, its very small size and quick startup makes it great to pull out and start shooting at any time. Theres something less assuming about a camera this size that makes it less distracting to subjects in candid situations, which is the sort of setting youll probably be using it in most. People notice a big camera with a big lens and a huge front element, they dont notice this.Canon was very deliberate in making this a great camera for an advanced user, and I think any prosumer or professional would really enjoy using it.Overall, I love this cameras usability and the pictures I take with it. Id sooner buy another than a mirrorless with a similar footprint, because a mirrorless doesnt collapse into a tidy rectangle.

Have only had this camera a short time now, but have used it enough to know I like it. EXCEPT, for a couple of issues.First, the lack of threads for a lens filter. I have gone to a competitor to get an addon to make up for this lack. Yes, the camera is able to spoof many filters plus printing can add filter results. But I like the control the filters give me. Plus having an external lens cap helps with the dust issue mentioned by others.The other issue is not have a way to use an exteral flash, other than one that is not wired. That is okay but I do like having an oncamera flash rather than the built inPlus not being able to have a wired control for activating photos so I dont have to worry about camera shake. Yes, I know, I can build in a delay when I take photos ... MoreHave only had this camera a short time now, but have used it enough to know I like it.

I have two full frame that I use as well as a couple I have converted to Infrared. Got a heck of alot of lenses and filters for all. But I am getting old and I wanted a lighter smaller camera to use other than the big ones. I used to have the first G1 that canon came out with. I used it alot. But then it had problems and needed fixing and canon had discontiued repairs on that old G1 just a few months before it quit on me. Just my luck.I give this a 4 star because it is a good camera despited the limitations and I will use it. Maybe I will get me another G1 when they have one that I like the looks of. We will see.

This is great backup camera for me. In the coat pocket. Very nice image quality for the size of the camera. Appears well built. Does well in low light for a camera this size.However, beware on the battery issue. It is a small battery to fit the size of the camera, therefore, do not expect a thousand exposures on one charge. Beware that this camera will not let you use another battery in it, unless it comes from Canon. It will tell you on the screen that the battery you inserted is not from Canon and you cannot use the camera. Then, of course, they charge you over twice as much for one of their batteries compared to an aftermarket battery. I think that is inexcusable. Others may not see it as an issue.Hence, I give it four stars. It is really a well built camera, ... MoreThis is great backup camera for me. In the coat pocket.

You can even adjust the sharpening in your custom settings. By that I mean it gives you a number of options, just in the way it sharpens images.Dynamic range appears to be very nice and I would say above average. High ISO images are better than I expected. Stout build quality is a very good point.In summary read the reviews online. If it is for you, then get it and enjoy it. I have taken about 2K pictures and video with it so far. I do recommend it. Just get you at least one extra battery and it has to be Canon.
I originally purchased a mirrorless DSLR as I am going on a trip later this year, but after evaluating the package decided to go with this camera instead. This was due to smaller size for travel, previous reviews and performance. The camera does not possess a electronic viewfinder, but for what I am going to use it for it should be fine. Also note that the camera does NOT have the ability to be water resistant nor is the lens protected when the camera is open. If you want to use it wet weather or even underwater there is an optional external case you can buy from Canon but it is expensive. A better option if you are going to use it outdoors is the Canon GX3 which is weatherproof but an older camera and is more expensive and is quite a bit larger.

A better option if you are going to use it outdoors is the Canon GX3 which is weatherproof but an older camera and is more expensive and is quite a bit larger. The lens protection problem can be accomplished with a lens filter adapter from Lensmate and a UV filter mounted on it. The adapter and 3 filters is available in a kit and is around 55. Do this to protect your lens, but it does add some thickness to the camera livable. Better to destroy a UV filter than your lens.Overall a great camera so far and takes great pictures, allows many of the manual controls that the less expensive point and shoots do not have, but is also a good beginner camera as it basically is a point and shoot out of the box. A big bang for the dollar I have not had this camera long, so the long term jury is out, but so far, so good
I actually bought Sony Rx100 V, Panasonic Lumix LX10, and this Canon. I returned the other 2.I found Lumix has more bells and whistles like 4k photo, which I am not sure I need. But I found at least mine had issues with image quality. Poor auto white balance, colors seemed washed out and it overexposed faces on auto and portrait modes. The SONY was the best of the 3 cameras, but I really found the lack of touchscreen a deal breaker for me .did not think I would but after using it on the others I really liked it. also, it is almost double the price. So, the Canon. yes, it lacks 4K video, but the HD video is outstanding. Superb focus and IS. also, the 4 to 1 zoom, and fast 1.8 make for great portrait background defocus, as well as brilliant landscape. which really is ... MoreI actually bought Sony Rx100 V, Panasonic Lumix LX10, and this Canon.

I dont miss the viewfinder really. in fact, tilting screens are even more useful I think. Overall, I think this is the best 1 inch at this time. I have aps C size sensor cameras too, the image quality of this camera is truly almost as good, except for very low light. and even then, just throw a mini tripod in, and it is equal. and this fits in the pocket
This camera has a lot of bells and whistles. Ill define the bells as items centered around the actual camera and the whistles as the nice to have optional features.The camera has a lot of features that allow for manual operations. I would consider this a point and shoot on steroids or an entry level dslr in a point and shoot frame. For that reason, it was the only reason I gave this review 2 stars.The problems I encountered were with the auto focus setting. The autofocus pictures were hit and miss50 of the photos were blurry or focused on something in the back ground.

I would never judge the quality of camera based on its wifi performance but in this case, it just added to my frustrations. Its not that the wifi feature was clunky to use, it just did not work period.In sum, the bells were so so and the whistles were non existent. I ended up returning the camera.
The camera is really good. Im a beginner when it comes to cameras but I like the image stabilization it has when you film. I also really appreciate its small but sturdy build. It makes it really simple to attach to my tripod and I dont need to worry about the weight unbalancing the tripod. What I wish could be better is the weatherproofing aspect. Its currently the winter season and my hands feel like theyll fall off because the metal gets cold instantly. Im just concerned because its an expensive camera but I have to be extremly careful handling it outdoors. The downside to purchasing the camera is that there isnt a case that comes with it. You need to purchase a lot of accessories on your own. Nevertheless, I like the sharpness of the images when you use this ... MoreThe camera is really good.

The wifi capability is great when I dont want to pull out the sd card and laptop to get the images. Overall, its a really nice camera worth the small investment because you get a lot of features packed into it.
I already love using the G7 Mark II when traveling, hiking or being more casual in my explorations about town. It offers a highquality image, dozens of options when shooting manual included and yields great results along the way. As does any new camera, the G7 Mark II takes getting used to where to find things, how to adjust on the fly, what its capabilities are, etc. but its already a great purchase for the convenience factor alone. I bought a protective carrying case Ruggard Hfv260 and it came with its own strap. Battery life is strong but I also bought a Canon as a backup. Outside of the case, it fits into my front pocket but otherwise I keep it in a backpack or somewhere safe while not using it. The quality of the images is strong considering the vehicle.

Outside of the case, it fits into my front pocket but otherwise I keep it in a backpack or somewhere safe while not using it. The quality of the images is strong considering the vehicle. Sure, its not as spoton in pixel quality as my 6D and, sure, at 6400 ISO its quality is far less than that of the 6D at much higher speeds. But I didnt buy the G7 Mark II to replace the dSLR entirely just to offer a convenient, less cumbersome camera to capture great photos with while traveling, hiking, at family gatherings and walking around the city. That said, Id recommend this camera to anyone sticking with Canon like I am and who wants a great performer in a small package.
The product excels at one thing, taking the zoomed-in photos that your phone cannot take. Aside from that, the quality and sensor size are similar to what you would find in a phone.The camera has fixed 3 zoom levels, the equivalent of 100, 400 and 800mm (the latter being digital zoom).The scenario where this really shines is watching birds or larger animals from a distance, occasionally taking photos or short videos - in good daylight (this must be specified because the camera is pretty much useless in low light).I wish this had a bigger brother (slightly better lens, slightly better sensor, slightly better battery), but as far as I can tell, this is one-of-a-kind.

Aside from that, the quality and sensor size are similar to what you would find in a phone.The camera has fixed 3 zoom levels, the equivalent of 100, 400 and 800mm (the latter being digital zoom).The scenario where this really shines is watching birds or larger animals from a distance, occasionally taking photos or short videos - in good daylight (this must be specified because the camera is pretty much useless in low light).I wish this had a bigger brother (slightly better lens, slightly better sensor, slightly better battery), but as far as I can tell, this is one-of-a-kind. I like how you hold it to your eye like binoculars (well, monocular really), I like the image stabilization, the responsive viewfinder, the fact that the lens and mechanical parts are behind a glass window and you won't get dust in them (you know how the compact cameras extend the lens forward when you power them on - this form-factor solves that problem).
