**In-Depth Review of the Canon G7 X Mark II Camera**

As I began to explore the features and capabilities of the Canon G7 X Mark II camera, I was excited to see how it would perform in various lighting conditions. The first thing that caught my attention was its compact design and lightweight build, making it easy to carry around and use for extended periods.

I had the opportunity to shoot some footage and take pictures with this camera, even in low-light indoor conditions, which came out surprisingly good. I was able to capture high-quality videos and photos using artificial lighting and audio from its internal microphone. The camera's video functionality is one of its standout features, allowing users to record stunning footage without the need for external equipment.

The static pictures that I took with this camera also turned out very well, with excellent color reproduction and a decent zoom range of 4.2X. While the zoom range may not be ideal for all users, it's still a respectable feature in a compact camera like the G7 X Mark II. The camera's ability to capture good quality pictures and videos in various lighting conditions makes it an excellent choice for casual vlogging or travel photography.

One of the notable features of this camera is its direct microUSB port, which allows users to charge the device directly without needing an additional power bank. This feature proved to be extremely useful during my testing, as I found myself constantly running out of battery and having to recharge it on the go. The fact that I could simply plug in the charger and get back to shooting made a huge difference.

However, there are some limitations to consider when using this camera. One of the main drawbacks is its inability to shoot 4K video at high frame rates, which may be a deal-breaker for some users who require this feature. Additionally, I found that the focusing could be slightly inconsistent at times, particularly in crowded environments or when moving quickly. However, overall, the focusing was still quite good and reliable.

The battery life of the camera is another area where it falls short. While it's not terrible, it's not ideal either. If you're planning to use this camera extensively, you may find that the battery runs out sooner rather than later. However, this can be mitigated by carrying a portable power bank or using it in conjunction with other devices.

Another feature worth noting is the lack of an external microphone input on the camera. This means that audio quality will be limited to what's picked up by the internal microphone, which can be prone to wind noise and other issues when shooting outdoors. While the internal microphone does a decent job in quiet environments, it's not ideal for capturing high-quality audio.

Finally, I want to mention a small quibble that I had with the camera - the tripod mount is located very close to the battery bay, which means that accessing the microSD card slot requires unscrewing the tripod. This may seem like a minor issue, but it did cause me some inconvenience during my testing.

**Conclusion**

Overall, I'm extremely happy with the Canon G7 X Mark II camera for its intended purpose of casual vlogging and travel photography. Its compact design, excellent video quality, and decent zoom range make it an excellent choice for users who want a reliable and user-friendly camera without breaking the bank. While there are some limitations to consider, such as the lack of 4K support and inconsistent focusing, these issues do not detract from its overall performance.

If you're in the market for a compact camera that can capture high-quality video and photos, I would definitely recommend the Canon G7 X Mark II. Just be aware of its limitations and plan accordingly. And if you've seen my previous videos using this camera, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it - please leave a comment below with your feedback!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso guys we did some shopping in Dubai I purchased this camera this is a sort of a portable camera and guys sorry for the footage I'm just recording it with the honor it proves a rear facing camera so we don't have a camera and so this is a point-and-shoot type of camera but this is great for vlogging and though it's just a 1080p camera as you can see the name is far short g7x this is the mark 2 there's also one more variant the early variant was known as the mark 1 I purchased this from Dubai we would shopping actually I met wanted some other cameras or event and this is also available in India but the thing is that from fast one and a half months I'm not able to get any stocks of this in India the pricing is not a big difference in India I think so in India this is retails for about 41,000 here I garden Dubai after exchange and stuff for about 37 and as you can see it has the digit 7 processor that is from Canon and it has a one inch a sensor 20 point of one megapixel and video it records up to 1080p no 4k guys and it has optical zoom up to 4.2 except so and the lens is a good one f4 1.8 to 2.8 variable and it also has Wi-Fi and NFC so I'd be planning to whenever I'm traveling I don't know to carry the huge gear that I have the bigger cameras it's always a hassle so I'm hoping I can get better footage when I travel and shoot from this one so let's quickly open this up now so some paperwork and staff a booklet also that you get and printers and stuff this is what we get such a big plug and what else let me just remove all this we get this is a strap that you can attach this is the battery that we are getting on this one it's a small battery so should we take okay for normal shoots but if you plan to shoot a lot it's advisable to get one more battery but the good thing is that you can sort of charge this camera from a power bank it has a USB port so this is the charger that you are getting so it's nice charger that you get you can plug this end like this let's forget all that and let's look at the camera itself and this is the camera itself that you can see it has some weight to it so it's dance as you can see and has the dials again you can obviously take photographs with this one and this also has a tilt each screen which is important if you are blogging and doing some things it goes like this and also it can go all the way like this so it's ideal if you are logging you can see what you are doing that's the biggest thing about this one and here it also has a HDMI port and that USB port as I was telling you micro USB port is there so you can directly charge this one from your power bank so that's a nice thing we have a Wi-Fi button and NFC also about one thing to notice that it does not have a port to add a microphone directly so that is again one thing you have to note so the microphone you have to rely on these so that is one thing and it has that pop-up flash like this you can tilt this also to take photographs if you want so what I'll do is I'll boot this up I'll set this up and in the later part of the video the footage that you would see would be from this canon g7x mark ii so we are just heading out and you're going to boot now watch let's see and it's actually really hot now so let's see how it does so we were just going to watch we were sitting in a taxi so just took this footage to give you an idea so we are at this vulture and if this is the background apart from bush also we have a lot of high-rises and so let's see so this was the entrance to birch I also actually shot a couple of pictures with the camera to give you a rough idea how's the camera performance this is again a sample footage that I shot from the 123rd floor of the birch it gives a great actually view of Dubai so again yeah again I shot this one at 1080p again guys I'm shooting all this footage and he'll there's nothing like a gimbal or anything that I'm using just waiting for a pickup and just waiting the sort of two levels pretty hard in the way it's almost 7 right what's the temperature right now 7 7 PR it feels like it's pretty hot what I liked about this footage is that it was evening the Sun has said it was very low lighting it looks a lot brighter in this image but it was not that bright the Sun had set so even in very low lighting conditions as you can see the focusing can be a hit or miss and low lighting conditions but overall the picture quality was actually good even in low lighting I also shot some pictures in this low lighting conditions and the image quality as you can see even in low lighting was actually good this I shot from the Apple store in Dubai Mall and the thing is that you can even zoom in and out while you are doing the video recording as you can see so what do I feel about this camera this is not an in-depth review but my quick impressions you could say quick review after three days of using this camera and here are some of the pros and cons let's start with the pros the first thing I liked about the camera is the input stabilization and even when I was just holding this camera handheld and walking around for example you do that a lot with vlogging the footage was not that what do you say shaky at felt actually really good so I liked the embodied stabilization so it's great for people who just hold the camera and start walking and vlogging even if you do that the footage come out good I also like that fact that we have this great screen you can just for example after credit right now I can see myself and then blog it's great for bloggers so I like that but I mean it can be a little bit distracting because the thing is that because of the screen it's just being three days I've been using I unconsciously it's just I am looking at the screen but after looking at this lens after a couple of days you get used to it but yeah great that the screen completely turds and the quality is actually really good of the screen next thing I like the fact that even when we shot some of the footage and even pictures were what I shot in low lighting and indoor lighting conditions came out actually very good so even in indoor lighting and low lighting conditions of shoot videos they come out to be really good with this camera so great again for vlogging and in fact I'm shooting this video as of now in my office and my typical of the setup that is with artificial lighting and audio is also being captured by its internal microphone I'll talk about the microphone in the later part of the video and apart from the video functionality the static pictures that we took also came out actually very good the zoom range is not that much about 4.2 X but again as a compact camera it takes good quality pictures and even the color reproduction was actually very good I also like the fact that this this is specific to the gcn Mach 2 version that I was using it has a microUSB port and you can directly charge this camera that and that was actually very helpful when I was in the boy morning onwards we were taking a lot of pictures videos and stuff and out on the evening time the battery came became very low it was dead I just plugged it type of from a power bank and it was charging and within half an hour again I was able to use the camera so I like the fact that you can directly charge it from the micro USB port and now going to the cons these are the things that I actually did not like about this camera again in terms of video it can shoot video only up to 1080p Max is 1080p 60fps so there is no 4k support so if you want 4k support this is not the camera for you also moving to the focusing for the most part the focusing was good when you start shooting a video about two three seconds to focus but after it focuses it's fine for example I'm using auto focus right now and I can move around a little bit but sometimes I would say it tends to lose the focus if a lot of people are around this happened just a couple of times so again if you're just walking alone it won't be a problem but I feel a lot of people are there sometimes it can lose the focus so you have to be aware but overall I would say the focusing was good I would say 95% of the time it gets them focusing right now I'm going to the battery the battery life I would say is in the middle it's not create it's not bad but I feel it could have been better it will last for if you are sort of heavy user lasts till the evening but you might have to top it up if you're shooting a lot of footage so I mean yeah the battery life for this camera could have been slightly better now moving to one thing this camera simply does not have any input for external microphone so the audio that you are going to get will be from this internal microphone right now so the audio that you hearing yes from an internal microphone in a closed environment like this this is fine the microphone pickup is actually good but in outdoor conditions it has a tendency to pick up quite a bit of wind so you have to be careful and the sad part is that you can't clip a extra microphone so you have to be aware of that and lastly this is sort of nitpicking I again if you saw the unboxing video earlier I got that gorilla what do you say part with this - just hold it like this and the tripod mountain is actually very close to the battery bay where you actually insert a micro SD card also so I have to always actually unscrew the tripod to access that so the tripod mount is very close to that Turing is so again I have to constantly if I have to change the battery or the SD card I have to unmount it and then only I can open the battery bay so that was small inconvenience so these are my quick impressions regarding the scan and g7x mark - overall I would say I'm happy with the camera for my purpose I feel that this is a good camera for doing casual vlogging or van I don't want to take my candy here and for that purpose it does a great job but the con is that because can I feel is that it simply does not shoot any 4k video so if you need 4k video this is not for you so do let me know in the comment section what do you feel about this canon g7x mark ii and you have seen the footage everything was recorded with this canon g7x so do let me know in the comment section what do you think about the quality and so guys this is that's it for now for this video and if you are still not subscribed to my youtube channel hit that subscribe button thanks for watching this is Ron G that I hope to see you in my next videoso guys we did
