Are you a content creator in need of
new kit? If you're searching for a
compact camera for content creation
on the go, you've come to the right
place.
Hi, I'm Tahiti here with MPB, and
today we're going to take a closer
look at the Canon Powershot G7
X II.
From first reactions to the pros and
cons, we'll break down everything
you need to know about the camera.
But first, we're going to take it
off for a test drive around New York
City.
The G7 X II is a pocket
sized camera that packs a punch.
This installment from Canon offers
both performance and portability
by pairing a one inch CMOS sensor
with a slim body. It grants
full HD 1080
video at up to 60 frames per second,
and the features don't stop there.
Its DIGIC seven image processor
offers exceptional tracking to keep
subjects in focus and sharpness
intact.
The camera is also equipped with a
4.2x zoom lens
that yields a 24-100mm
focal length range.
If you're working in low light
conditions,
Its f/1.8-2.8
Canon lens allows you to capture
stunning video when the sun's not
shining.
You
can go crazy with your angles
because of this screen.
And you can get your selfie mode so
perfect.
Let's just hit record on that.
YouTube
career coming soon.
Once you realize what
each functionality on the screen
is for, you realize just
how convenient and seamless
everything is with the camera.
We're going to do 60 frames.
I kind of like that, you know,
every sort of
feature or setting
that you could possibly need to
change, you have access like
on screen.
What's typically expected when
you're dealing with sort of a point
and shoot and having that
zoom lens is that there's
some distortion that comes about
once you max out your
magnification with the camera.
But there's still so much in
between before you even max it out
that you would rarely
find yourself doing it.
When you go full magnification,
it gets a little more bumpy, but
for the most part, like the
sharpness stays intact and the
focus.
To be honest, it looks even
better with the aperture a little
close down.
A super sleek design can
literally fit in your pocket,
in your bag, in a tote bag.
So lightweight.
And the fact that it just powers off
with one click isn't
too much functionality to it.
I like
how they stacked two dials
so that it keeps this super low
profile, super
sleek design.
ND filter basically reduces light in
any shot.
So you can see
how significant an
ND filter is when
filming.
So here we are.
Being that it has the
the tracking on it, it does
a great job of like staying
in focus once you set it.
The battery life, when
you're focusing solely on video
isn't too strong.
You have maybe
two and a half, 3 hours of
continuous usage before you
find yourself needing to swap your
battery or charge it.
So additional batteries are
definitely like mandatory.
This is a perfect addition for for
anybody who's either a full time
content creator.
If you're a photographer who also
prioritizes
builds when you don't want to carry
around a DSLR or
a medium format camera,
you know, there's so much packed
inside of the small package.
I think this would be the perfect
just general
camera for all content creators.
It really doesn't even matter
what you do just because
there's features that are
incorporated that I feel
like any content creator could
benefit from.
