Canon didn't need to deliver a major overhaul of its excellent G7 X, and the upgrades in the G7 X II build on the original camera's reputation, particularly the performance-boosting DIGIC 7 processor. The only disappointment is the continued absence of a viewfinder.

A compact that's only a few features short of greatness

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. ...

...Neben einem integrierten ND-Filter und einer Full-HD-Videofunktion (60B/s) ist WLAN und NFC für den kabellosen Datentransfer integriert.

Die Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II überzeugt im Test als handlich-leichte Kreativkamera mit starker Bildqualität und lichtstarkem Zoom. Die Neuerungen lassen sich allerdings an einer Hand abzählen. Wer das Vorgängermodell bereits besitzt, für den dürfte sich daher eine Neuanschaffung kaum lohnen.

As I said at the start, the Canon PowerShot G7X Mark is a very attractive compact for enthusiasts, delivering excellent quality and control in a body that'll squeeze into most pockets. Canon's various enhancements over the original model make for a much more compelling camera overall, and if the feature-set still doesn't perfectly suit, there's three other options in the range to fit the bill.

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II is a well-designed enthusiast compact that's a pleasure to use. It offers a versatile focal range, very good image quality, a large buffer for continuous shooting and 1080/60p video capture. Sharpening and noise reduction in JPEGs are heavy-handed, and battery life still needs work, but aside from those Canon has done an impressive job with the second iteration of the G7 X.

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II is a pricey pocket camera with image quality that goes toe-to-toe with much larger models.

The absence of a built-in viewfinder will always be a deal-breaker for us so we're inclined to recommend the PowerShot G5X, which has a high-resolution EVF built-in, over the PowerShot G7X Mark II. Particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, where skies are often clear, any kind of viewfinder, no matter how basic, is better than none at all. ...

I’m a massive fan of this type of camera. It’s ideal for holidays and expeditions where a big camera is impractical, and especially for nights out where most compact cameras really struggle in low light. [...]

The Canon Powershot G7 X Mark II is a good update to the G7 X with the same 4.2x optical zoom lens, which features a bright f/1.8-2.8 aperture, and the Mark II offers improved noise performance, and excellent image quality, along with handling improvements, thanks to additional grip, and a more flexible tilting screen that can tilt down as well as up. The camera is also quicker, shooting at 8fps, with a good buffer size to allow for more shots before slowdown. ...

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II has impressed us more than we had anticipated. Its scale and feature set might not be class-leading, but what looks like little more than a nip and tuck compared to the original model turns out to be a turbocharging in the performance stakes. ...

If it sounds like there's not a whole lot to gripe about, you'd be absolutely right. We really liked the original G7 X, and this camera takes everything we loved about that model and makes it a little better. There's plenty of competition in this space—especially with Nikon's recent announcement of the DL-series compacts—but Canon has made the right upgrades to keep its pocket champ relevant for another year or two. ...
