Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II

Advantages: Excellent photo quality with small camera size and weight.

Disadvantages: Suddenly it turned out that when the power bank is connected, the camera does not want to shoot. Those. even if you have a charge in your pocket, you will not be able to take pictures indefinitely: either shooting or charging

Comment: No, of course, this is not a replacement SLR. The quality of photos is the highest, if we talk about a soap box, but it does not reach the “mirror” one. Actually, it is difficult to incur if you have a matrix 4 times smaller in area than the crop.
But this baby really takes decent pictures in rooms without a flash, and a set of digital nishtyakov adds joy. And, most importantly, it is always with you and does not delay the pocket.

Advantages: weighs a little
Large matrix for its size
Good lens
The presence of an optical stabilizer

Disadvantages: not very capacious battery
a little awkward in the hand because of its small size

Comment: For my money I took a wonderful machine.

Advantages: + BSI-sensor (with back light) 20 Mp
+ sensor size 1 "
+ touch screen
+ small size and weight
+ shoots in RAW
+ there is memory to save user mode
+ long battery life
+ you can buy a native case Kenon - mega-convenient

Disadvantages: - not enough wide angle (min EGF 28mm)
- not the most high-aperture lens (F2-4.9)
- not the most convenient control (in comparison with DSLR)
- to find a protective film on the screen is difficult - will have to cut

Comment: At the time of purchase, it was the most compact device with a 1 "sensor. BSI technology offers a significant advantage in photosensitivity, which is especially important for such small sizes. Up to ISO 800 reliably removes. A small graininess is present in RAW, but the detail does not suffer. For optimal sharpness It is necessary to add 1 stop to the diaphragm. In macro mode you can get very good results even from a wide angle. The control is not very convenient compared to DSLR (you could add buttons and buttons to the desired effects), but Having built the time and saved it to the user settings mode, you can always quickly prepare the camera for shooting and use it right away. I considered the older G7X2 model, but because of the folding screen it is thicker and more expensive, so I didn’t choose it. The same model in Kenonovsky’s native the case fits comfortably in a standard A5 bag, or in a jacket pocket, without too much bulging and bulging out. I use the device whenever I do not have a large camera on hand. Having such a camera, it is always possible to capture the moment many times better than the phone can. The quality is at the level of the standard APS-C camera, and the size is pocket!

Advantages: Compactness, weight, quality of pictures is not worse than DSLRs. Customizable control ring. Retractable flash. Inside the hardware heap of settings. Indeed, a pocket camera, with a confirmed application for a premium camera. Fresh year of release, the latest processor. Shoots high-quality video.

Disadvantages: Inconvenient to photograph with one hand. Decorative plastic lining (do they need) or rather inexpensive plastic. I would think about the lens cover, it is not. When transferring files from the device to the PC via Wi-fi, a high consumption of AB. I photographed for two hours, then I began to transfer the photo to my PC via Wi-fi and the battery went to zero. Again, with wireless transmission, video files are not transferred to a PC, video files can be transferred via a cord.

Comment: I have a Canon EOS 600D (heavy for traveling without a car) and a Canon Pwershot A420 (outdated). I replaced them and bought the PowerShot G9 X Mark II.
When I opened the box the first impression was disappointing. It is small, tiny, will fit into a shirt pocket and does not delay. But when I took them off and looked at the photos, delight and joy. About him you can say: "Mal zolotnik, yes roads, okay tailored, tightly stitched." Definitely recommend to use.

Advantages: Small, light. convenient to take pictures with one hand, the quality of the pictures is excellent, fast focuses, USB charging. Just nice to take in hand!

Disadvantages: Now that disappointed; you can not take panoramic photos, although there is a panorama mode, only useless. Like the Fireworks, Fisheye, Stars still go here, I really never shot a star, but maybe someone ... But there is no need, for example, a shot by gesture, smile. Conveniently!
Next, consider the GPS no, the bluetooth is only suitable for lowering the camera, so the self-timer for this! Still Shooting at night with hands, in the Auto mode it removes better, on the contrary it should be like. or I haven't figured it out yet

Comment: I have this first camera, maybe what I wrote in flaws is normal for a camera. I would add more functions from the cameras of smartphones. By the way, the focus is fast, but in Galaxy s7, lightning is easy!
I summarize: in general, I am satisfied with the purchase, but if I unwind it back, I took the same Galaxy 7. Good shopping for everyone!

Advantages: Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II bought for travel to replace the Canon EOS 600D, which is corny tired of carrying on itself. Who is ready for the high price and the very high quality of the images - take it, you will not regret it!
The main advantage for me is the small size and almost full-fledged replacement for a large DSLR when traveling.
Also from the very useful - the possibility of recharging from USB power banks (which almost everyone already carries with them to recharge smartphones and tablets). I do not even plan to buy a spare battery.
The luminosity is really impressive - the night photos from the hand are beyond praise.
There is a cool horizontal mark on the screen - it’s immediately obvious that the horizon is not overwhelmed. After the trip and a series of 400 shots, only 3 - 4 wanted to correct the horizon.

Disadvantages: The horizontal mark, which is made green from red, is not always visible when shooting on a bright sunny day. Developers !, it would be nice if she didn’t just change color to green, but became 2 times thicker, for example.

Comment: Here are my photos as an example of filming with this camera (all photos without any processing as it is):

Advantages: Small, very smart! Filmed when walking, just holding the camera in his hand.
Not a single blur, everything is clear and sharp. Focuses instantly. Someone wrote that soaping around the edges, did not notice this. The picture is just super sharp and juicy. The aperture of the lens is enough for any shooting conditions, the ISO above 1600 never raised. And of course WiFi with the ability to control from your smartphone!

Disadvantages: No 4k video ... and nobody needs it anymore)))

Comment: At first I was upset that the pictures were soapy at 100% magnification. But when I switched to RAW, I was surprised how much everything had changed! JPEG is not the best, it presses too much.
And when he takes pictures off his smartphone, he squeezes them a little more (you can remove them in the settings). So shoot in RAW and you will be happy!
