Canon Introduce PowerShot G9 X Mark II

Canon has freshened the PowerShot G-series with the pocketable PowerShot G9 X Mark II featuring continuous shooting speeds of up to 8.2 fps, a large 1.0 type 20.1-megapixel sensor and Canon’s DIGIC 7 processor, updating the Canon Powershot G9 X. 

With a DIGIC 7, and CMOS sensor, the PowerShot G9 X Mark II offers significantly improved performance and the dual sensing image stabilisation offers 3.5-stop correction using parallel stabilisation processing. For spontaneous moments, continuous shooting at 8.2 frames per second, coupled with 0.14-second auto-focus ensures you’re always ready and have a camera that keeps up. The PowerShot G9 X Mark II also features a 3x optical zoom and 28mm wide angle lens.

The new Auto ND filter restricts light reaching the shutter, letting you use longer shutter speeds without over-exposure and Canon’s Dynamic Image Stabilisation automatically corrects camera shake.

Full HD movies can be captured along with Time-Lapse footage and the LCD touchscreen gives the user access to these settings, removing the need for bulky buttons to be added to the camera. The Lens Control Ring also gives access to aperture, shutter speed and zoom and as expected with modern-day compacts, Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth are built in. 

The PowerShot G9 X Mark II features a minimalist, retro design and is 25 percent thinner than the G7 X Mark II. The PowerShot G9X Mark II will be available from February 2017 with an RRP of £449.99.
