Photography Blog posted their complete Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II review. They gave the PowerShot G9 X Mark II a score of 4.5 out of 5.

In the conclusion they write:

Although owners of the original Canon PowerShot G9 X aren’t going to be too excited by the improvements on offer, the new Mark II does represent a minor step forward for Canon’s most pocket-friendly compact camera, particularly in its operational speed.

Continuous shooting rates, auto-focusing speed and general all-round performance have been boosted by the impressive Digic 7 processor, while image quality at high ISOs is subsequently slightly better too. Improved image stabilisation and slightly longer battery life are also desirable features, while the new always-on Bluetooth connection is a welcome addition.

About the PowerShot G9 X II 1.0-inch, 20.1 MP High-sensitivity CMOS Sensor:

The PowerShot G9 X II camera features a large 1.0-inch, 20.1 Megapixel* CMOS sensor that helps capture high-quality images and videos. Its wide dynamic range helps ensure both bright and dark parts are fully captured, like the shadowy side of a building on a bright sunny day, or streetlights on a dark night. 20.1 Megapixels provide high-resolution photos for printing, viewing and additional flexibility during editing. Paired with the new DIGIC 7 Image Processor, it benefits from a fast shutter speed that helps reduce the chance of blur and combines with a high ISO for great low-light results – helping you capture clear, beautiful photos and videos in virtually any situation.
