The second generation of compact "inch" pocket form factor in a completely new guise. The camera is absolutely unlike its predecessor model, however, it has retained its position in the line of digital compacts with an eye on amateur photographers. The model uses a 20 MP BSI CMOS inch size (13.2x8.8 mm). The DIGIC 8 processor is responsible for image processing, which provides the camera with overclocking in continuous shooting mode up to 30 fps (when recording RAW files with focus on the first frame). The on-board autofocus system of the Canon PowerShot G5X Mark II combines 31 focus points under the wing. The camera provides the ability to select the focus point by tapping on the touch screen and the face recognition function. OLED-viewfinder "leaves" from the "carcass" of the camera "on...call". In terms of wireless communications, the compact is equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication modules. “Tasty” in the end — a fast zoom lens with an equivalent set of focal lengths of 24-120 mm and a floating maximum aperture of f / 1.8-2.8.

Video reviews

Above the second edition of the compact camera Canon PowerShot G5X did a great job. As a result, she radically changed her appearance, learned how to shoot 4K video and increased the coverage of focal lengths. But first things first.

Minimalism

The camera is "built" on a high-strength metal chassis and is made in a minimalist form factor. For the sake of saving precious space in it, they reduced the protrusion under the right hand grip and hid the viewfinder in the upper end of the case. Now he travels "at the request" of the photographer. The “eye” of the viewfinder is an OLED screen with 100% field coverage of the future frame and a resolution of 2.36 million pixels. In addition, the camera has acquired a 3-inch tilting display on the “back”.

Performant hardware

“At the helm” of the Canon PowerShot G5X Mark II, an “inch” matrix (with physical dimensions of 1 inch) was installed, and a powerful DIGIC 8 processor is responsible for in-camera image processing. In the reportage genre of photography, the camera develops a continuous shooting rate of up to 30 fps ( focus on the first frame and recording RAW files). 4K video is recorded on it from the entire plane of the matrix with a maximum frequency of 30 fps. The duration of video shooting in UltraHD has a "threshold" of 10 minutes.

fast lens

The compact looks at the world through fast lens optics covering 24-120mm equivalent focal lengths and f/1.8-2.8 variable maximum aperture. To complete the picture, it is necessary to note the on-board stabilization system, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules, as well as the ability to charge the battery from USB-C with PowerDelivery. The latter will definitely come in handy, since on a single battery charge the camera is able to “click” just a little more than 230 frames. The final motto of the camera: "Compactness and low weight — above all!".
