    Hi everyone! Thanks for watching my review of the Canon G7 X Mark II. I hope that I covered the major point that will help you decide if it's the right camera for you. Let me know what you think about it. Does it have the features you're looking for? If not, let me know what you wish it had. Thank you in advance for your time!

      Hello Tech Gear Talk, would you still recommend this Canon camera for beginners? I'm concerned about battery life since I heard you mentioned it. I'm looking at this and or Panasonic Lumix. Thank you.

    A solid review, covers the camera well. Sets out some opportunities and challenges. It’s a great all round point and shoot. Only real issue is its a one stop shop - you cant really expand and extend its functionality due to not being able to swap out lenses or adding a separate mic. ( the later can be overcome by recording separately and synching in post editing ). Love to see a peer product review to show the options at the price point. Keep up the great work

    • @TechGearTalk
      @TechGearTalk  6 років тому

      Thank you again for all the feedback. I agree with your points. It's a matter of how much you plan on pushing the creative process. It's also nice to sometimes step back from all the "options" and push yourself to create content with a more "limited" platform.
      It's a fun creative process and is challenging exercise.

      Can you guide me if I can start with Canon G7x Mark ii for vlogging travel trips. For noise cancelation I'm thinking to use wind muff I hope it will capture my voice from arm distance.
      Secondly, do you've any official information of canon is planning to release G7x mark iii?

      That I am not sure of. Technically, shutter count is something people look at. I don't usually buy used cameras so I don't have a ton of experience 🙃
      I would probably just make sure it looks like it's in good condition.

    Excellent and thorough review especially that I was able to learn some aspects of the camera no other reviewer I've come across has delved into.
    This is especially beneficial to me since I have mobility issues and a compact zoom is crucial to me and others I know who have challenges and I'm just putting my situation out there because I have seen quite a few photographers in wheelchairs, on crutches, and support canes shopping at B&H and I know if I often feel as if I'm part of a marginalized part of the photography world they must feel the same.
    Thanks.

    It was a great review. Even if I have this camera for only a week I took many photos and I love it. I use DSLRs (Nikon D5100 and D7100) for 7 years now. This is my second Canon Powershot camera after 4-year use of Canon G7. I strongly recommend this camera. It has many good features like F/1.8 for night shots and background blur, Articulating screen for shooting in different angles (poor boy does not support in portrait mode), Two rings + EV Comp for full manual usage ability, Wifi connection for sharing instantly, 5cm Macro mode. Actually, I really think to replace this camera as my main camera.

    I appreciate you speaking some on the camera also vs all the video footage because I am going to use this mostly for my photography needs. Most of the videos I've seen speak mostly about video and you spoke some on the camera so I appreciate that but would love to see more about the camera in general (settings etc) ❤.. No one has given much detail on the camera in general because I think people assume it will be mostly for vlogging. Not everyone is vloggers. Lol. I needed a small camera because of a rotator cuff injury and can't lug around my BIG guy. I do video sometimes also so of course that's an added bonus. I know you need distance for bokeh with this camera that's the only disappointment for me but I can work with it. I'm also left handed but have been using my right a lot since the injury. I"ve read lots of reviews and videos and I think this will work for me. I paid $599 but I think you can get it even cheaper some places. Thanks for the review! :)

    This was such an awesome, in depth review.

      Julie, you made my night! I'm so glad the video was helpful.
      I don't know if the audio can be turned "off" (maybe it can, I haven't tried because it's so easy to remove in post). However, you can probably just turn the gain all the way down to zero so that it doesn't record audio.
      If it were me, I would still remove that track because I don't need a blank track.
      Does that help?
      Thanks for the sub!

You are using much larger lenses with M50 which explains why you like the images from M50 better. Anyways, i will still go for G7x mark 2 because of its small pocket size. Easy to take anywhere you want. It all depends on the way you wanna use a camera. Thanks for your review.

      Who said that M50 is not good for photography? People say plenty of nonsense. If you stay in the kit lens there is no significant difference unless you beep at the corners. They are a weak point on compact cameras. M50 has a larger sensor but this has a faster lens. On the other hand the M50 has much better expandability. You can get ultra-wides, tele lenses, fast primes etc.
      Even if you would later but an ILC the G7 X is a good secondary camera.

    so what I mainly want is a basic but good camera/photo quality, low-light and audio. but I really don’t think I’ll ever feel the need to use an external mic. I like keeping it simple and just using the built in one. Sooo would this one be good?
    The only major problem I’ve been seeing with the g7x mark 2 is with the buzzing almost staticky noise when it’s on video recording. It’s a little hard to ignore sometimes. Did you notice that too?
    I’m still not quite sure if I should get this exact camera yet?? there’s so many options and I wanna buy a camera for that’ll be good a few years down the road 😁😊

    I would like to thank you for showing us the functions of this camera. I make transport videos and currently I use a Sony WX200 digital camera for onboard rides of trains and buses etc as it is very compact and I have used this one since 2014. However I am looking to upgrade to newer technology that will allow me to make even better videos as I plan to do some plane rides as well as my usual train and bus rides.
    Do you think that the 60fps offered on the Canon G7 X would make the quality of the video better? As my current Sony WX200 is limited to just 25fps and is limited to only 720p which I have to upscale in my video editor to make it 1080p. Not sure if you have used the Sony WX200 yourself in the past, but I am willing to pay the price for the Canon G7 X if that means that my videos will be better quality in return for my investment.
    All the best.

But when I use my Canon Legria Mini X (its known as the Legria range here in Northern Ireland) for filming trains lineside. I now use the Rode VideoMic Pro for my audio which makes the quality a lot better sound wise.
      But in the summer. I am planning to get this G7 X for the internal videos like my bus, plane and train rides and I am looking at getting the Canon Legria HF G40 that will replace my Canon Legria Mini X for external outdoor filming when the weather is good.

      For better audio, you're going to want a camera that has a mic input so that you can:
      1. Use a shotgun microphone which is pointed at the subject
      2. Be able to move the microphone off camera if it's still too close.
      If it's not so bad on the G7XMKII, you can add some background music to hide it. Otherwise there isn't much you can do other than locking focus.

      The advantage of the m200 is that you can use difference lenses. Something like the Sigma 16mm would be a good option: ua-cam.com/video/uORT1dfeS0M/v-deo.html

    I would really appreciate any input you can suggest to me, I have been researching for weeks but I'm having a hard time deciding. I will have a trip next week to a wedding of a friend. I am not in any way professional but quite advance in photography in my own little way. I own a sony nex5r, a decent nikon dlsr. I am in a hunt for a point and shoot compact camera. I never own a Canon, but I have been looking between the g9x mark ii vs the g7x mark ii. right now, the g9x ii is on $399 and the g7x ii is $650. So with the price difference I'm leaning towards the g9x ii, can you tell me if its a good one.?

      Let me check out the g9x and I’ll let you know what I think

    Hi, how to use picture style functions. I am not even finding it !! Is t a part of in-camera editing ? Does it only work with RAW files ? Not clear from any Canon manual...Thanks

      Hi Jit. Picture Style works when you're shooting jpegs. Look at page 84 of the menu. You can access this feature from the Quick Menu or the Main Menu

      Hi. I don't believe you can do that with the mark II. The mark III can do it: ua-cam.com/video/Hd68_SvjL60/v-deo.html
