Bought this camera for a truly pocket size camera that has the photo quality of a DSLR. I went On a 2week trip to Scotland last September. I wanted to take my DSLR camera but didn’t want to hassle of lugging it around. I research and found this camera that was actually pocket size but had the big camera features and quality. The 1 inch sensor was a draw. I bought it a month before the trip so I could study aid and learn the features. The only drawback is the lack of a zoom telephoto lens, but the cure would be a non pocket size camera. I learned to love the WiFi so I could download pictures every night onto my iPad Pro and post my diary on Facebook. The fact that the WiFi worked without any internet connection was very handy. Visited a lot of castles ‘that forbade flash photos, but the small size and very good low light capabilities made interior castle shots look really good. The battery life was kinda short but having a backup battery solved any problems. I never actually ran a battery out, but did switch when it got low so I didn’t need to swap it out at important parts of our trip. Like any higher grade camera the learning curve is a little steep, but having the full manual on the iPad helped.

This is a great camera that is: (1) small enough to fit in your pocket (the G7X is just a little too big to fit comfortably in a shirt pocket); (2) allows you to shoot in several modes including manual; (3) has a 1" sensor in a compact build; (4) shoots RAW for those occasions when you need it. In short, it is a very small camera with professional features. It wont take the place of a full frame DSLR (such as the Canon 6D or 5D Mark IV), or even a crop frame DSLR (like the Canon 7D Mark II). It doesnt try to compete with the higher end mirrorless cameras like the Fuji XT-2 or Sony A7ii. When I know Im going to need the resolution of one of aforementioned cameras, then thats what Ill carry. But when I am just going out to eat with friends, or when I want to have a camera handy, this is the ticket. You can buy less expensive compact cameras. You can buy smaller compact cameras. But as of this writing, you cant buy a better compact camera than the G9 X Mark II. UPDATE: The camera suddenly stopped working. The lens would open with the power button, but the screen was blank. The lens would not fully retract when the power button was pressed again. I called customer service and was told the lens had become misaligned. Per the instructions I was given, I removed the battery, held the power button down for 2 minutes to discharge any residual power and then re-inserted the battery and powered the camera on. Still didnt work. I was emailed a link to a page to print a repair order, given instructions on how to ship the camera and told repairs would take 5-7 days. Before I packed it up, I tried the battery removal/power button procedure again and this time the camera worked. The customer service experience was excellent, although I ended up not needing to send the unit off for repairs. This is the only problem Ive had so far (knock on wood).

I was disappointed to discover that Canon does not support (and does not plan to support) wifi connection to Mac. This is a major limitation and should be spelled out more clearly.

Shorter (but bulkier) than a smartphone, this camera will easily fit in a pocket or purse. It is the best, affordable compact camera I could find with a 1 inch sensor. Photography is a minor hobby of mine and Im certainly not a professional or expert. But if you are looking for a high quality camera that blows any smartphone camera out of the water, this was my favorite purchase from 2017. It is convenient to take on vacations and you will be glad you bought it after looking back at higher quality photos compared to any smartphone camera could ever take. The lost star is due to the app used to transfer photos. I have an Android phone and the app is constantly causing me problems. It takes forever and mutiple attempts to correctly sync the photos to my Android device. And once you finally get the app to consistently work, an update will reset the settings where the hassle starts all over again.

Im not an expert photographer by any means, but Ive had a lot of cameras including several DSLRs and high-end point and shoots. My DSLRs are all Canons but Ive had Canon, Nikon and Sony point and shoots. For convenience I like to have a good compact camera when I travel and to carry with me on a regular basis. The problem has been that I just couldnt find one that took decent pictures (in my opinion) until I got this camera. Either the focus was too soft, the color was off, or it didnt take decent low-light pictures. Then I bought this Canon G9X Mark II. The picture quality is excellent and the color is superb. Because this camera has a bigger than average sensor it takes good low light pictures. It fits easily in your purse or pocket (perfect for travel). This camera has a lot of functionality - different modes and settings to choose from including auto (the auto setting takes great pictures without much fuss). It takes good quality video. And its a stylish camera too. The biggest downside is the app/software for this camera. I never could figure out how to link it to my cell phone to record the GPS coordinates or to download pictures via WIFI to my computer. I think its just as easy to plug the card into the computer and download the files that way. The app/software for my Sony point and shoot was way easier to use. To be fair, I didnt spend a whole lot of time on this so you might have better luck than I did. Plus, they might update the app/software to make it easier to use. Battery life isnt great, but extra batteries arent that expensive - its a good idea to carry a spare. To summarize, if you are looking for a good compact camera that takes great pictures (sharp focus, great color, good in low-light) this is an excellent choice. It has a lot of functionality and features - but the plain vanilla auto mode takes very good pictures too. The size is very handy and fits easily in your pocket or purse. If you shoot a lot of pictures or are going on a trip you should probably get a spare battery. I highly recommend this camera.

Incredible camera for its clarity and portability. The night features made my trip to Guatemala a great success. I was warned prior to buying that it would be no better than a new iPhone camera, well those assumptions were wrong. High recommend for an easy to operate point and shoot if you are going on any long travel trips and want to pack light.

This camera, like many of the Canon cameras I have used over the years, takes a very good picture. This camera though, takes a photo similar to my $1,000.+ camera and that is surprising. The video was also outstanding and I was very surprised that such great photo quality could be achieved at this price point. The only thing that is seriously lacking for me is a viewfinder. In daylight it is very hard to get a precise idea of the finished shot with just a display. A display shows a general idea of the subject, a viewfinder shows you exactly what the finished pic will be. If you are used to display cameras only, than this is a big winner ! Either way I would definitely recommend this camera, is does fit in a pocket or small carry bag, and it takes first-rate pics !

I know. Were past the point of needing to carry a separate camera because the cameras on our phones have become so much better. And they have. But a lot of the promises for great shots in low light or zooming in havent really held up. Not in my experience, anyway. I really love this camera. I love the bokeh effect when Im taking food shots (Im one of those people). I love the ease for changing the aperture to get more light. I love the zoom (although if you push into digital zoom the quality of the shot is diminished, so I stick with going no more than 3x with the camera and then zooming in edit). I love being able to wirelessly transfer the shots from camera to phone. Lightweight. Holds a charge. Picture quality is so much improved over other point and shoots thanks to a much larger sensor. I love it.

I purchased this camera about 6 months ago and have used it on four trips so far. I’m not a professional photographer but this handy little camera has produced great keepsake photos (to my untrained-eye). It works well in a variety of settings: from close-ups of food to wide-angled city skylines; no-flash Christmas lights to sunny days outside. I love the Bluetooth feature that can wirelessly link the camera to my phone. After an afternoon’s worth of sightseeing, I can select and download the good pictures to my phone and then share those pictures with friends while recounting my adventures during dinner. I also found the touch-screen super useful: set the focal point; swipe through photos; asking a stranger to simply touch the screen to take a photo (a lot of people struggle looking for the shutter button on top of any camera!). It has worked well for me during the last four trips I’ve taken and I look forward to bringing it along on my future trips.

Excellent photo quality for such a compact camera. Loads of features and tons of flexibility. Im not much of a video shooter so cant coment on those capabilities, but I bought this to replace an aging Fujitsu compact that I carried everwhere. It took no time to get familiar with the cameras excellent control layout/structure (In fairness, I do have a couple of regularly used Canon DSLs, so that may have helped get me up to speed on the G9 X mkII). I found the G9 focusing to be quick and spot on, and the metering scheme to be mostly accurate. The LCD display is bright enough with very good resolution. The flash has a limited range, but works ok out to about 12 or so feet. Plenty of ISO range. When I get in a serious shootinng mode, I break out my Canon 5D or 6D and a few appropriate lenses for the situation. This is fine, when my focus is 100% on photography. But when traveling, at a gathering of friends and family, or just out and about town and country, having a great little pocket shooter at the ready means getting so many good shots that simply wont wait until you pull out your big ole DSL and snap on the best lens. Meanwhile, the G9 X mkII can be ready to shoot in seconds snapping off shots that are way, way better than my Google Pixel 2 cell phone snapper can deliver. With a slightly smaller, or maybe just a slimmer, profile than my retiring Fuji, dropping this light and compact unit in a pocket is even easier. So far this mighty little shooter has 100% exceeded my expectations. I expect to get as many years of service with this new pocket gem as my trusty old Fuji pocket snapper.
