Canon PowerShot G7X Mark II

The Canon PowerShot G7X Mark II is a premium 1-inch compact camera built for content creators, vloggers, and travel photographers who want excellent image quality in a genuinely pocketable body. Its 20.1MP BSI CMOS sensor pairs with a fast 24-100mm f/1.8-2.8 lens — delivering bright, sharp images in challenging light. A flip-up 3.0" touchscreen is perfectly positioned for selfies and vlogging, and Micro USB charging makes it easy to top up on the go. The G7X Mark II lacks 4K video and a built-in EVF — limitations the G7X Mark III addressed — but it remains one of the most popular compact cameras ever made, and an exceptional used-market value for anyone who wants 1-inch quality in a coat pocket.

GearFrame's Take

The G7X Mark II is one of the most popular compact cameras ever made — and for good reason. A fast f/1.8-2.8 lens, 20MP 1-inch sensor, flip-up selfie screen, and Micro USB charging combine in one of the most vlog-friendly compact cameras available. No 4K and no EVF are the main compromises, but the G7X II remains outstanding value on the used market.
