Unlike the Sony RX100 which relies on 4K for an optimal definition of the image, the Canon G7 Mark II does not rise higher than the Full HD, amply enough for a vlog on Youtube. It offers a grain of image similar to that which can be found on SLR cameras, which may interest videographers in search of a less "smooth" rendering. The lens of this camera has an optical zoom equivalent to a 24-100mm f / 1.8-2.8 stabilized, allowing for varied plane values, from wide angle to very narrow zoom. Some weaknesses in the accuracy of the image at the periphery and at the edge of the image are to be noted, from an aperture at f / 5.6 to 24 mm as at 100mm.

In terms of ergonomics and robustness, the Canon G7X Mark II has some interesting assets as a pleasant grip thanks to the handle on the case, a touch screen tilting upwards to 180 ° and down to 45 ° to control the picture quality even when shooting in low-angle, as well as an adjustment ring around the disengageable lens in video and manual mode. You will be able to make adjustments in full filming, in the most absolute silence.

On the sound side, this camera offers stereo sound recording, thanks to two sensors on the top of the camera. However, again, no output for headphones or for an external microphone. Attention therefore to the shots in a sound environment not maitrisable!

Finally, Wifi and NFC allow you to take control of your camera remotely once it paired with your smartphone, or store your data directly on your computer, without cable!
