The Canon
PowerShot G1X Mark
II
is great for those who want the
performance and operability of a
DSLR without the bulk normally
associated with one. The cam-
era boasts an autofocus speed
that is far faster than a regular
compact camera and an excellent
large-aperture lens in a footprint
that’s smaller than most books.
Together with its high pixel count of
12.8-megapixel, 9 blade aperture lens
and 5X zoom lens, photographers will
be able to capture immensely beautiful
imagery and create stunning bokeh effects, all
with the convenience a compact camera affords.
The PowerShot G1X Mark II can also be tilted up to
180 degrees and downwards to 45 degrees – great for
taking selfies with dad!
