The Canon PowerShot G1X Mark II is the highly anticipated successor to the popular G1X that is feature-packed and will satisfy the avid photographer. Featuring a large 1.5-type (18.7 x 14mm) Canon CMOS sensor with multi-aspect shooting and 5x optical zoom, this second generation G1X MkII can effortlessly capture superb 12.8 Megapixel images (3:2) and Full HD video with DSLR-like quality.

 

Image processing is supremely fast and responsive with reduced noise thanks to Canon’s inclusion of the DIGIC 6 Image Processor. Its bright maximum aperture of f/2 combined with its HS System and a maximum ISO12800 delivers unparalleled performance in low-light situations ranging from a romantic candlelit dinner to live venue performances. A built-in intelligent Image Stabilisation (IS) mode further compensates to minimise unwanted blur due to handheld camera shake by up to 3.5 stops in order to produce truly memorable photos worth keeping.

 

A highly accurate 31-point AiAF autofocus system ensures that fleeting moments are captured with sharpness and clarity. Alternatively, manual focusing with manual focus peaking is readily available for those who wish to fine tune or elevate their creativity to the next level.

 

Customisable Dual Control Rings deliver convenience with the knowledge that the user’s most commonly used settings may be programmed and recalled with logical ease when required. An intuitive 3.0-inch tilt-able PureColour II Touchscreen LCD monitor features 5 adjustable brightness levels to deliver a truly enjoyable user experience at all angles.

 

Built-in WiFi and Image Sync enables convenient image sharing and backup with family, friends and social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to name a few. Furthermore, connecting the G1X MkII to a compatible smartphone or tabletoffers remote shooting which is useful in many real-world scenarios.

 

For photographers seeking DSLR-like quality and versatility without the added bulk often associated with DSLR cameras, the Canon PowerShot G1X II is a force to be reckoned with in day or night.
