Canon just announced their new top compact digital camera, the Powershot G7 X Mark II. The $700 camera pairs a 1.0-inch, 20.1-megapixel CMOS sensor with Canon’s new DIGIC 7 Image Processor to help reduce noise. The Mark II camera improves upon Canon’s PowerShot G7 X, by adding a fast startup and improved RAW continuous shooting speed of up to 8 fps (frames per second) with short intervals between shots.
The Mark II is also the first Canon camera to feature the company’s new high-speed DIGIC 7 Image Processor, which claims to improve auto focus tracking, enhance IS, and improve image clarity even when shooting with a high ISO. For increased flexibility, the Mark II can record Full HD 1080p/60 video and has built-in Wi-Fi and NFC for sharing, and in-camera RAW conversion.
Additional features include:
- Bright f/1.8 (W) – f/2.8 (T), 4.2x (24–100mm equivalent) optical zoom lens with Canon’s Intelligent Image Stabilizer (IS) and a 9-blade iris diaphragm;
- Multi-angle 3.0-inch capacitive touch panel LCD with a screen resolution of 1.04 million dots and tilt options of 180° up and 45° down;

- Built-in Wi-Fi and Near Field Communications (NFC) capability with a dedicated Wi-Fi button for easy sharing and transferring of images and videos;
- Picture Style function that offers superb command of in-camera color, contrast, and sharpness;
- In-camera RAW conversion, making it possible to preview customized image processing modifications on the camera, without the use of a computer;
- Convenient control ring lever that enables users to quickly switch between stepped and continuous ring movement;
- Time-Lapse Movie feature to help capture images at preset intervals and combine them to create a short movie clip;
