I definitely like the size and weight of this camera which was a pre-requisite.

I like the small size, makes it easy to carry or put in my pocket.

Would have liked the LCD to be able to flip up - but I am willing to trade that convenience for the super-compact size of this camera.

Case I got to go with it (perfect size, not too big or too small)

In daylight it is very hard to get a precise idea of the finished shot with just a display.

The better idea is to set the ISO to the lowest possible setting to reduce noise on a bright day for the best clarity.

The touch screen responsive such a great idea where once I was limited to pressing buttons - and, it supports gestures like pinch to zoom and touch to focus.

For such a great travel camera, it really should have a 24mm

this was featured on a bunch of sites for a great travel camera. looking forward to putting it to the test.

(Elph it replaces zoom is no longer working).Really excellent touchscreen LCD viewer as well

The camera is small (it can literally fit in my front pocket) and the large 3” touchscreen is relatively intuitive (the camera has a limited amount of buttons)

1st is the touchscreen works really well & smoothly, making touch focusing easy and changing settings fast

markII, Pro's: smallest size & weight with a 1" sensor, smooth & useful touchscreen, $429 (as of June 2017)Con's: useless bluetooth

Automatic White Balance was fine outdoors but indoors under LED lighting it had a difficult time.

This camera by spec Is a lesser model to these competitors (all have 1 inch sensors which I wanted for superior low light shots), but they also cost 150 to 400 dollars more

It takes great pictures for a compact camera and does well in high contrast scenes as well as low light

My full DSLR kit weight makes me want to carry a lighter DSLR kit, still having a camera bag makes me want to carry this pocketable camera, the weight and bulk in my pocket makes me want to just use my phone's camera, and my phone's camera lacks enough low light and zoom performance to make me miss the capabilities of my full DSLR kit.

This camera is awesome, really takes fantastic pictures and easy to operate.

The G9 has been taking good pictures, particularly in low light which is a pretty common requirement.

I keep this in my purse as a backup but it takes such good pictures that it's not really just my backup anymore.

I use photo tools to add the date/time stamp and reduce the picture size by 40-45% without loosing any picture quality

The photos and video created by this camera really are fantastic--almost the quality of my old 60D, which was 10x the size

But if you are looking for a high quality camera that blows any smartphone camera out of the water, this was my favorite purchase from 2017

I use photo tools to add the date/time stamp and reduce the picture size by 40-45% without loosing any picture quality

I can transfer the excellent quality pictures to my phone while I'm at the beach rather than waiting until I have access to a computer!

It's awesome the quality of pictures this little camera can produce

Its touch screens work well (and after 5 years of dealing with Nikon, Lumix, and especially Olympus menus, it was a relief to return to Canon's always intuitive menus

But as with other cameras, the touch screen works great so this might not be as big of a deal as it seems

Really don't like the touch screen

Touch screen is pretty intuitive, I sometimes found myself accidentally changing the image size I wanted without realizing it, but I recently found you can lock the touch screen panel to avoid that

The touch screen responsive such a great idea where once I was limited to pressing buttons - and, it supports gestures like pinch to zoom and touch to focus.

The Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II is the updated version of Canon’s G9 X “entry level” premium compact camera

Once again, Canon cripples this functionality to force you to obtain an on-line account, transfer the images to Canon's website after forcing you to agree to all kinds of stipulations about your photographs and agreeing to let them delete photographs they don't like.

The most useful software Canon provides is the RAW developing to bypass a lot of the dysfunctional automatic camera settings.

I'll gladly upgrade this review if the seller or Amazon sends me the correct Canon battery and the camera turns out to work well.

The Canon is very easy to stow and go, always handy when I want to shoot something

The faster lens would be better for sports or low light performance.

My multi-lens DSLR kit was heavy, so I pared it down to a compact DSLR and a spare lens, but then it became a nuisance to me to still have a bag of any size to contend with all day,

The lens would not fully retract when the power button was pressed again.

This is the slower lens, with the G7X Mark II being the faster lens.

(4.2X), tiltable screen, 3X brighter lens at zoomed range (same at wide range)Con's: same as G9X camera, also $250

So far so good lacks a few features but took some amazing photos on my last trip to Zion National Park.

One of the great features is combination AF+MF which allows you to autofocus then tweak in for perfect sharp focus.

This small camera is full of great features, many of which I still haven't fully explored.

You loose this feature if you shoot at full resolution or save your RAW files.

This camera has lots of great features, but many of them are not fully implemented
