This compact digital camera combines an ultra-slim design with the latest technology to achieve professional image quality. It will satisfy all advanced photographers needs, particularly those who are looking for "something smaller" than a large and heavy DSLR for everyday photography. With the G9 X Mark II, you can capture stunning sunsets, the city at night, portraits and unforgettable moments with family and friends, as well as spectacular landscape views without ever having to worry about carrying a camera bag full of extra equipment. The powerful DIGIC 7 image processor delivers innovation in a variety of areas. It is better at reducing noise at high ISO settings and is far more powerful, resulting in faster start-up times, operating time and continuous shooting (up to 8.2 fps). Enhanced tracking and detection capabilities help lock onto your subject throughout the action, from improved face tracking to help keep your subject in focus, to Dual Sensing IS which helps minimize image blur caused by camera shake and body movement. This results in clear, precise pictures even at slow shutter speeds. The camera is equipped with a one-inch CMOS sensor to capture high-quality images and videos in less than ideal conditions. Its wide dynamic range helps ensure that both light and dark areas are fully captured, for example, shadows on a bright sunny day or street lights on a dark night. In addition, the high 20.1Mpx resolution provides greater flexibility for editing, printing and displaying large images. An advantage of the camera is its universal lens with a flexible focusing range. Its wide aperture plays a significant role in properly capturing light into the camera to ensure superb shots in any situation. Combined with intelligent IS image stabilisation, the wide aperture helps to ensure virtually shake-free and sharp images. In addition, the fast aperture goes as low as f/2.0, meaning it's possible to see the subject and take clear photos in low light.
