$(document). ready(function() { SampleGalleryV2({"containerId":"embeddedSampleGallery_9106950029","galleryId":"9106950029","isEmbeddedWidget":true,"selectedImageIndex":0,"isMobile":false}) }); The nearly four-year-old PowerShot G5 X has received a complete overhaul in the form of the G5 X Mark II.
Nearly everything has changed, including the design, which is very similar to the G7 X Mark III which was also announced today. And, unless you'll miss the SLR-style of the original model, that's probably a good thing.
At the heart of the camera is a 1"-type, 20MP Stacked CMOS sensor, which up until now has been exclusive to Sony cameras, along with Canon's latest Digic 8 processor. The lens is one of the most ambitious in its class, with an equivalent focal range of 24-120mm and max aperture of F1. 8-2. 8. As with the G7 X III, there's a 'clicky', customizable control dial around the lens.
The Mark II's party trick is its pop-up OLED electronic viewfinder, which should look very familiar to anyone who's seen a Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III and newer. With your eye to the finder you can move the focus point via the touchscreen LCD, which can tilt upwards by 180°.
Like the G7 X III, the G5 X II can shoot Raw bursts at 30 fps with a 0. 5 sec pre-buffer using its electronic shutter. If you want continuous AF, the burst speed drops to 8 fps. Video can be captured at 4K/30p (but not 24p) without a crop, with Full HD recording at up to 120p.
Other features of note include an improved UI, similar to that of EOS cameras, new 'Star modes' and 'simpler' Wi-Fi setup.
Battery life is not the camera's strong point, with a CIPA-rated 230 shots per charge using the LCD and 180 shots with the EVF. The camera does support power delivery over its USB-C socket, though.
The PowerShot G5 X Mark II will be available in August for $899.
