The PowerShot G7 X Mark II serves as an upgrade to 2014’s originalĀ G7 X. The new model sticks with the same resolution at 20.1MP from a 1″ type sensor and a 24-100mm f/1.8-2.8 equivalent lens, featuring image stabilization and a 9-blade iris. It gets a speed upgrade with the DIGIC 7 image processor (for faster startup and RAW shooting speed) and adds a grip for the right hand on the front of the camera body.
