Canon PowerShot Digital Camera [G7 X Mark II] with Wi-Fi & NFC, LCD Screen, and 1-inch Sensor - Black, 100-1066C001
- First let me admit that I am an older photographer who grew up shooting Nikon F analog cameras. Today’s cameras offer a great deal of advanced features but do we really need them to take great photos. I purchased this camera for my girlfriend who has taken an interest in underwater photography. After using it in a high quality Nauticam housing my preference would be for a camera that had a few more operations performed by individual controls rather than having to select a controls function using a menu. For instance, the lens has a rotating collar that like older cameras, controlled aperture size and focus. But rather than having a separate ring for each function, this camera requires me to go through the menu and change the function allowing me to use only one at a time. I guess it costs less to use a computer chip to perform various function selections rather than separate controls but it just seems to take longer to set up for a shot than the old way. Guess you just can’t teach an old dog new tricks. But as evidenced by the large number of great shots I’ve seen online that were taken with the G7 series, it can obviously do a good job.
- Literally came in a day. So far so good. Haven’t played with the camera too much yet. But it’s so compact and cute, I can not wait to use it
- I love the digital quality of this camera.
- Just received the camera today, so these are really just first impressions:1. The photos are beautiful, bright, crisp and sharp; 5-stars for photo quality.2. Windows 10 cannot display the RAW files (it can\'t do the 7D2 RAW files, either).3. Adobe RAW 9.5 cannot convert the G7X2 RAW files (it can do the 7D2 files). The Canon software I have can\'t do it either. How long before an Adobe update?4. There is no setting that I can find to shoot RAW + JPEG.UPDATE: You can set RAW + JPEG, but it\'s not intuitive.5. On its own, the camera doesn\'t play well with Windows 10. Download the Camera Window software from Canon. This will give you complete control for transferring images to the computer. UPDATED 6/12/20166. The manual implies that the Camera Window software is for WiFi transfer of images to a computer. That\'s true, but it is also used for downloading via direct USB connection which is lightning fast, and in my opinion, preferable. Once the download is complete, the USB battery charging function will commence. UPDATED 6/12/20167. As usual, the User\'s Manual is sketchy and not very useful. It\'s difficult to find something specific in it. There is a more complete .pdf version that can be downloaded from the Canon website. UPDATED 6/12/2016Again, these are just first impressions. I\'ll update this review was I get more experience with it.UPDATE 6/10/2016:After a morning on the internet, I have solved the RAW file problem. In order to use PS or LR, Adobe Camera RAW v. 9.6 is required. Earlier versions won\'t work with the G7X2. You can download the zip file and install it from the Adobe website. Then, depending on which editing software you are using, CC, PSE or LR, it may not install in the correct folder. You\'ll have to move it. In the Adobe community forum, search on G7X Mark II and you will find a post with instructions on how to do that. I would have posted the links here, but I think Amazon strips them out.Now, I can actually use the images from the camera in my normal workflow. That\'s huge, and for that I am adding two more stars.I am pleased with the photos it takes. I have posted two images I took last night at sunset. I wanted to see how it performed in low light. I did no color editing at all. I only adjusted exposure and lighting, added a little bit of sharpening and resized them. There is some noise in the shots, but the finished images are not bad. There is also some lens distortion, apparent when there are straight verticals near the edges. It\'s correctable in editing, but since that crops the image, you will want to add a little extra in the framing.UPDATE 6/12/2016:Now that I have the camera/computer environment functioning, I took it downtown with me this morning on a real shakedown cruise. I have added several photos from the Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes, Washington. I usually shoot aperture priority, but all of these were taken on \"Auto\" to see how it would do. I am tickled to death with the photos the camera is producing. There is one thing I am noticing. My 7D2 (I think it uses dual Digic 6 processors) tends to over-saturate reds and magentas. This camera is not doing that. On Auto, it is also balancing the highlights and shadows very nicely without blowing out the skies. Again I got some lens distortion, but it was easily corrected in editing. Someone here asked about focus speed. I have no complaints in that regard. One thing that is a little slow is the recovery time after shooting compared to the 7D2. With that camera, I can take several shots in rapid succession. Shooting Raw + JPEG with the G7X2, there is a noticeable lag before it can fire again which is sometimes annoying. For a pocket camera, however, that\'s really not a big deal. Overall, I am delighted with this camera. I debated between getting the Sony or waiting for this one. I chose this one primarily for the longer tele range and because I am already in the Canon ecosystem. Now that I have actually used it, and seen the photos it produces, I am glad I did.
- Perfect picture taking
