Hi everyone! Thanks for watching my review of the Canon G7 X Mark II. I hope that I covered the major point that will help you decide if it's the right camera for you. Let me know what you think about it. Does it have the features you're looking for? If not, let me know what you wish it had. Thank you in advance for your time!
Hello Tech Gear Talk, would you still recommend this Canon camera for beginners? I'm concerned about battery life since I heard you mentioned it. I'm looking at this and or Panasonic Lumix. Thank you.
No....you look more like Eli Roth, he's a badass so that's definitely a good thing lol 😎🤘 Great review btw, just ordered a G7X MII online today and can't wait to start using it!!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I love the performance for the size. You can always just put it in your pocket and go. What do you use it for mostly?
A solid review, covers the camera well. Sets out some opportunities and challenges. It’s a great all round point and shoot. Only real issue is its a one stop shop - you cant really expand and extend its functionality due to not being able to swap out lenses or adding a separate mic. ( the later can be overcome by recording separately and synching in post editing ). Love to see a peer product review to show the options at the price point. Keep up the great work
Thank you again for all the feedback. I agree with your points. It's a matter of how much you plan on pushing the creative process. It's also nice to sometimes step back from all the "options" and push yourself to create content with a more "limited" platform. It's a fun creative process and is challenging exercise.
I had such a fun time transitioning from iPhone to canon. iPhone told me “storage full” all the time and it ruins my streaming. I so love the camera and it’s the best!!!! It’s so much fun vlogging now.
@@TechGearTalk I observed most of the people doing reviews lacks of basics which you enlighten awesomely. Can you guide me if I can start with Canon G7x Mark ii for vlogging travel trips. For noise cancelation I'm thinking to use wind muff I hope it will capture my voice from arm distance. Secondly, do you've any official information of canon is planning to release G7x mark iii?
@@TechGearTalk can you also guide what things to check if I'm buying used Canon G7x Mark II? What features/components should be checked before buying? Is there any feature to check shutter counts or no. If times /hours camera used? Thanking in anticipations 📸😇
That I am not sure of. Technically, shutter count is something people look at. I don't usually buy used cameras so I don't have a ton of experience 🙃 I would probably just make sure it looks like it's in good condition.
One thing I like on this review is that he is holding the camera all the time in the video. So I can see how the camera actually looks like size wise. A camera usually looks quite different from their show case when you actually holding it.
You are one of the best tech reviewers on the internet my friend. There is absolutely none better! Thank you so much for your thorough and engaging work 😊
A very thorough review. He covers the pros and cons and gives good alternatives to help with them. All in all I found this the BEST TH-cam review on the Canon G7 X Mark II to help me come to my decision! Thanks Tech Gear Talk!
Wow Colleen... I'm so grateful for this kind comment and very glad that the video was helpful. It's a great camera and so powerful for just how small it is. Thank you so much for watching! I would super appreciate you supporting the channel by using the links in the description (if possible). Again, I'm so happy that the video is useful.
At 8:05 I found the answer to my question about potential macro photography, but I needed to be sure I could focus on something extremely close up. I really appreciate all the little details and examples you put into this video. It made my decision making easier :) Thank you so much!!!
Great review, thanks! This camera would be perfect for me, if only it could make long videos... I'm looking for a camera that can make videos longer than 30 minutes, for indoors shooting video with low light (I am an illustrator and I film myself while drawing). Unfortunately I found nothing suitable for my budget, about $1000. Maybe can you recommend something to me? Thank you very much! (sorry my bad english...)
@@TechGearTalk thank you very much for the advice! I gave it a glance, yep this would be good for me! It exceeds my budget, but... well, I'll save more money, I think it's worth it. Thanks again! :D
U know what, this is a nice camera. I love it for what it is for the size that it is. But, so many big name tech reviewers when reviewing this camera, imo, are not using this camera long enough to notice and point out the one big flaw of this camera (or maybe they don't want to). Like, I bought this camera after watching many reviews (which i realized after using does not point out this issue) and then from actually using it i notice one thing and this is not even because its ME, its an unavoidable problem unless you decides to keep your g7x in a glass case to admire only... Dust behind the camera lens. A really killer flaw. And you absolutely have no way to get the dust out unless you do some potentially destructive DIY hack to clean the lens (google it) or, be like me, just keep bothering your local Canon Support to clean them even though my warranty T&C clearly stated it doesn't covers DUST issues. No matter how careful you are, even with a magfilter to deliberately cover the lens to minimize the dust, (yes) you gonna get some dust behind the lens. Especially if you live in a dusty country/city...w/e I like my G7xII, and if they actually do something about the dust issue on this retractable lens in future models, I would still buy it... but I gave up on it atm. I'm actually buying M50 next week.
Hi Sharon, thank you so much for sharing your insight and real-life experience. I have heard from several people about this issue so I really hope Canon addresses it. I just go an M50, so I'll be reviewing it in the next week or so!!
I think a lot of people depends on reviews on youtube these days to make a decision on a purchase. So talking about the pros are good, but the cons needs to be addressed too in an in depth so we can make a conscious choice. Honestly, had i known the G7xmii (as great as it is) has the dust issue, i would have saved more for rx100v (where i live, rx100v is like 1000+ more than g7xmii...sony is just insanely expensive here) I bought my m50 yesterday, didn't get it yet, cause i wanted it in black and they don't have stock, so gotta order it. I'll be picking it up in 2 days time. Going to Japan right after that for 2 weeks. Good time to test this camera extensively
I think you bring up a very good point. I will continue to focus on providing honest reviews. I did not have the dust issues but I have heard about online so you're definitely not the only one. Stop by and let me know what you think about the M50. Have fun in Japan!!
What an awesome Review!! Thank you so much for your detailed, clearly expressed, and fully understandable presentation. I found it very useful for my own understanding of how to effectively use the camera in different situations. I appreciate your knowledgeable talent. Looking forward to hearing more from you!
Excellent and thorough review especially that I was able to learn some aspects of the camera no other reviewer I've come across has delved into. This is especially beneficial to me since I have mobility issues and a compact zoom is crucial to me and others I know who have challenges and I'm just putting my situation out there because I have seen quite a few photographers in wheelchairs, on crutches, and support canes shopping at B&H and I know if I often feel as if I'm part of a marginalized part of the photography world they must feel the same. Thanks.
You do not need an external mic input. A good portable (stand alone) mic is the superior option for sound quality. The sound processors in cameras are not that good anyway even with a plug in mic.
An external recorder is definitely a fantastic option when you're ok with carrying another piece of equipment with you. Thank you for bringing that up!
Hi. You need to change your drive mode. Click Q on the screen for the quick menu, then look on the left (I think it's the third icon down). Then select the option at the bottom that has multiple photos in it. Hope this helps.
Thank you for this amazing content you have put out! You deserve so many more subscribers and I appreciate how in depth you go with your reviews! Have a blessed day❤️
I appreciate you speaking some on the camera also vs all the video footage because I am going to use this mostly for my photography needs. Most of the videos I've seen speak mostly about video and you spoke some on the camera so I appreciate that but would love to see more about the camera in general (settings etc) ❤.. No one has given much detail on the camera in general because I think people assume it will be mostly for vlogging. Not everyone is vloggers. Lol. I needed a small camera because of a rotator cuff injury and can't lug around my BIG guy. I do video sometimes also so of course that's an added bonus. I know you need distance for bokeh with this camera that's the only disappointment for me but I can work with it. I'm also left handed but have been using my right a lot since the injury. I"ve read lots of reviews and videos and I think this will work for me. I paid $599 but I think you can get it even cheaper some places. Thanks for the review! :)
Hi MayAnne. Thanks for watching. I'll have to cover that in a video to make it easy. What are you struggling with specifically? What don't you like about what you're getting now?
I would like to thank you for showing us the functions of this camera. I make transport videos and currently I use a Sony WX200 digital camera for onboard rides of trains and buses etc as it is very compact and I have used this one since 2014. However I am looking to upgrade to newer technology that will allow me to make even better videos as I plan to do some plane rides as well as my usual train and bus rides. Do you think that the 60fps offered on the Canon G7 X would make the quality of the video better? As my current Sony WX200 is limited to just 25fps and is limited to only 720p which I have to upscale in my video editor to make it 1080p. Not sure if you have used the Sony WX200 yourself in the past, but I am willing to pay the price for the Canon G7 X if that means that my videos will be better quality in return for my investment. All the best.
Thank you so much for watching. Not having to upscale the video is an automatic bonus for sure. No questions asked (unless you're upgrading to a completely terrible sensor just for the resolution (which obviously you're not). Going from 25 -> 60 might be really nice for you, especially because you are shooting very fast moving objects. Do you record audio separately?
Hi again. I use the built in mics (this WX200 has two on the top) for the sound. But when I use my Canon Legria Mini X (its known as the Legria range here in Northern Ireland) for filming trains lineside. I now use the Rode VideoMic Pro for my audio which makes the quality a lot better sound wise. But in the summer. I am planning to get this G7 X for the internal videos like my bus, plane and train rides and I am looking at getting the Canon Legria HF G40 that will replace my Canon Legria Mini X for external outdoor filming when the weather is good.
That makes sense. If you don't need an external mic input, the G7X MKII is an absolutely awesome vlogging-type camera. It's so tiny and get's great results. Not sure if you've seen this, but I did a comparison with 2 other Canon cameras here: th-cam.com/video/U5YQ0H3IGN0/w-d-xo.html
I will take a look at the video now buddy. Thanks for your advice on this Canon G7 X. I will be getting one soon which should satisfy my viewers when the new videos come onto my channel this year :). All the best buddy.
Hi Vanessa. Here is a video comparison that includes those 2: th-cam.com/video/U5YQ0H3IGN0/w-d-xo.html (should help you decide). I also want to throw this camera into the mix: th-cam.com/video/luYV0dTxoWE/w-d-xo.html Let me know if you have any questions.
Tech Gear Talk I love to travel lightly so I will use it mainly for travel photography tho, it's still a good choice, isn't it? I cannot with carrying extra lenses or mirrorless camera.
Yes, it's still a good choice. Super stable, small and light. I'm not sure what you were saying about extra lenses or a mirrorless camera. If you have questions, can you try to explain?
Tech Gear Talk ah okay! What I mean is I was confused which one to purchase, this compact camera or sony mirrorless camera a5100 or other mirrorless camera out there.. Now that I know canon g7x ii is superb, I already decide I want to purchase this :)
I use Adobe Premiere Pro and pay for it monthly with the rest of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite (but I use it for work). Check out Filmora which is a lot less expensive. Also, Divinci Resolve has a free version and is extremely powerful.
hi ,iwant to ask you that if i want to take a selfie with my friend and i am the one who closer to the camera,how can i put every one in focus,because the camera keeps putting just me,i will be soo gratefull if you answer me, thanks
Thank you very helpful! Great overall review of the camera, I was able to pick up on many various topics. You spoke slowly and clearly, which was extremely helpful as some of the you tube videos I have trouble following. Thanks again! Just received my camera and can't wait to use it very soon.
Very honest & solid review! The Canon G7X M II is definitely my next purchase for TH-cam videos. Just sold my Canon 70D DSLR and have been looking for a more compact unit with a good resolution & this is my weapon of choice! Thanks for sharing! #Subscribed
It was a great review. Even if I have this camera for only a week I took many photos and I love it. I use DSLRs (Nikon D5100 and D7100) for 7 years now. This is my second Canon Powershot camera after 4-year use of Canon G7. I strongly recommend this camera. It has many good features like F/1.8 for night shots and background blur, Articulating screen for shooting in different angles (poor boy does not support in portrait mode), Two rings + EV Comp for full manual usage ability, Wifi connection for sharing instantly, 5cm Macro mode. Actually, I really think to replace this camera as my main camera.
Hi, I just ordered a Canon - PowerShot G7 X Mark II 20.1-Megapixel Digital Camera at Walmart. I would like to know if it's the same thing as Canon - PowerShot G7 X Mark II 20.1-Megapixel Digital Video Camera. Will I be able to use it for vlogging?
I really like the way you explain and explain quite deeply...thumbs up from my side..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I also have seen many other reviews of Cams...and i loved them...keep it up...
I am Glad. I just a beginner and have no idea about Cams and dslr's... even I am not prety sure about mirror less and mirror ones🤪. But I am a learner.. and i am learning through your videos...
So I took many low light photos at a wedding using the AUTO ode. Manyof my shots did not focus What did I do wrong. Disappoining auto focus performance or bad settings ? Thanks
thank you so much for making this video! I am new to TH-cam and currently still using my iPhone to create content but I am on the hunt for a great camera to use! Ive heard so many amazing things about this camera. I literally know NOTHING about cameras, lol. Im not very tech savy when it comes to them so I wanted to know more about this camera from someone who does know about these things and can explain it in a way I would understand. You did exactly that! And I very much appreciate it!
Hi there. No, this camera has no mic input so you can not use any external mic. You would have to record to a recorder and then sync the audio and video if you want better sound. Or pick up a camera like the SL2 or M50. Hope this helps. Thanks for being part of the channel.
Definitely not. Cameras that shoot at that resolution are about $10,000+ I’m assuming you need it to print something. You can just upscaleit in photoshop.
If it were me, I would go the the G7X MKII. I just like the Canon ergonomics and the autofocus for video is great. The LS 10 has 4K, but I don't need 4K out of this type of camera. What do you think?
Do you already own the Lumix LS 10? Meaning, are you trying to figure out if it's worth buying a new camera? Or do you not have either and trying to figure out which to buy?
Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate your input on this camera. I have a 6D but I want a smaller camera to use when out on walks or hiking. I think this will work well for me based on your description. That touchscreen autofocus feature looks incredible. I'm going to be so spoiled!
Makes since. It will probably help a lot with your workflow then. Plus it will be better image quality than your phone. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck! Thanks for watching (and hopefully subscribing)
Hi! Thank you for this great review. However, most of it is dedicated to filming. I am looking for a device that can do both. How would you rate this camera's photography?
This was my first camera review and I was mostly using it for video. Check out the mark iii review where I discuss both: th-cam.com/video/Hd68_SvjL60/w-d-xo.html
Tech Gear Talk thanks! I just wanted to see if that would make sense. Moving up from an iPhone with rode mic which gives nice audio, but the video could be better and I don’t want to be attached to my phone all the time. 👍🏼
Hi Dee, thanks for watching. I just got the M50 and will be doing a review of it shortly. I am also planning to do a live stream this weekend about if you're available so please make sure you subscribe so you're notified. Both will be great options but it's a matter of what you want to do with it. Take a look at this video: th-cam.com/video/l--LXQJ-yh4/w-d-xo.html The M50 will be similar to the M6 (with 4k)
Hi everyone! Thanks for watching my review of the Canon G7 X Mark II. I hope that I covered the major point that will help you decide if it's the right camera for you. Let me know what you think about it. Does it have the features you're looking for? If not, let me know what you wish it had. Thank you in advance for your time!
Hi Kenzie, thanks for watching. Yes, I can put something like that together. What do you plan on using it for?
Hi, Is it possible for you to share a tutorial of video shoot setting etc.?
Hello Tech Gear Talk, would you still recommend this Canon camera for beginners? I'm concerned about battery life since I heard you mentioned it. I'm looking at this and or Panasonic Lumix. Thank you.
hey, can you let me know what camera you use to shoot this video?
Hello! I was wondering what camera did you use to record this video?
It’s 2023 and I’m just purchasing the Canon G7 Mk.II. Your video just confirmed that I made the correct decision for my needs. Thank you.
You look like Ross in friends tv show by the waaay! Liked your review it helped me a lot though , thank youu
Is that good?

That I am not sure of. Technically, shutter count is something people look at. I don't usually buy used cameras so I don't have a ton of experience 🙃

I needed a small camera because of a rotator cuff injury and can't lug around my BIG guy. I do video sometimes also so of course that's an added bonus. I know you need distance for bokeh with this camera that's the only disappointment for me but I can work with it. I'm also left handed but have been using my right a lot since the injury. I"ve read lots of reviews and videos and I think this will work for me. I paid $599 but I think you can get it even cheaper some places. Thanks for the review! :)
CONGRATS on the new camera!
Awesome review ! You’re great. Thank you 🙏🏻
thank you Kayleigh 🙏, glad it was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.
Awesome as always 😊👍.. Greeting from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺.
Thanks Sam! Appreciate all the support 🙏
what type of camera did you use to shoot this? Also you showed it briefly but do you have any additional footage sing the canon g 7
Awesome review dude. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Glad it was helpful.
A wonderful and concise review! Thank you brother..i just got this camera too and I'm loving it☺
Thank you so much for the feedback!
I'm so psyched that you love it. Are you going to use it for your channel?
@@TechGearTalk yea..the new videos will be shot by the G7xMK2! Can't wait☺
Awesome! What do you do for audio? Record separately?
I used to use the camera's mic..but am considering using one of my many mics...well..Audio is important! :)
Yup... The only thing about the G7XMKII is that there is no external mic input. I would record separately and sync.
Wow, very thorough review.
Thank you very much Linda :)
Love this camera. It's what we use. Great vlog too
It's really good for being so small. Thanks so much for the kind words and support!
@@TechGearTalk They did.
Extremely helpful, very informative. Well done!
I'm super glad it was helpful Hans. Thank you so much for watching and leaving feedback.
What would you use this camera for?
What setting would you use for vlogging?? Because mine sucks right now btw I just got the g7x mark ii two days ago and need big help with the setting
Hi MayAnne. Thanks for watching. I'll have to cover that in a video to make it easy. What are you struggling with specifically? What don't you like about what you're getting now?
I would like to thank you for showing us the functions of this camera. I make transport videos and currently I use a Sony WX200 digital camera for onboard rides of trains and buses etc as it is very compact and I have used this one since 2014. However I am looking to upgrade to newer technology that will allow me to make even better videos as I plan to do some plane rides as well as my usual train and bus rides.
Do you think that the 60fps offered on the Canon G7 X would make the quality of the video better? As my current Sony WX200 is limited to just 25fps and is limited to only 720p which I have to upscale in my video editor to make it 1080p. Not sure if you have used the Sony WX200 yourself in the past, but I am willing to pay the price for the Canon G7 X if that means that my videos will be better quality in return for my investment.
All the best.
Thank you so much for watching. Not having to upscale the video is an automatic bonus for sure. No questions asked (unless you're upgrading to a completely terrible sensor just for the resolution (which obviously you're not).
Going from 25 -> 60 might be really nice for you, especially because you are shooting very fast moving objects.
Do you record audio separately?
Hi again. I use the built in mics (this WX200 has two on the top) for the sound. But when I use my Canon Legria Mini X (its known as the Legria range here in Northern Ireland) for filming trains lineside. I now use the Rode VideoMic Pro for my audio which makes the quality a lot better sound wise.
But in the summer. I am planning to get this G7 X for the internal videos like my bus, plane and train rides and I am looking at getting the Canon Legria HF G40 that will replace my Canon Legria Mini X for external outdoor filming when the weather is good.
That makes sense. If you don't need an external mic input, the G7X MKII is an absolutely awesome vlogging-type camera. It's so tiny and get's great results. Not sure if you've seen this, but I did a comparison with 2 other Canon cameras here: th-cam.com/video/U5YQ0H3IGN0/w-d-xo.html
I will take a look at the video now buddy. Thanks for your advice on this Canon G7 X. I will be getting one soon which should satisfy my viewers when the new videos come onto my channel this year :).
All the best buddy.
That's awesome. Super pumped for you to be getting this new camera!
What’s better for vlogging? This camera or the m6?
Hi Vanessa. Here is a video comparison that includes those 2: th-cam.com/video/U5YQ0H3IGN0/w-d-xo.html (should help you decide).
I also want to throw this camera into the mix: th-cam.com/video/luYV0dTxoWE/w-d-xo.html
Let me know if you have any questions.
This video really helped me out thank you
That’s great to hear Isobel 🙏🏻
Complete in-depth review deserving more likes!
Thank you so much! I really hope it was helpful. As long as I earned your Like, that's good enough for me.
What will you use this camera for?
Tech Gear Talk I love to travel lightly so I will use it mainly for travel photography tho, it's still a good choice, isn't it? I cannot with carrying extra lenses or mirrorless camera.
Yes, it's still a good choice. Super stable, small and light.
I'm not sure what you were saying about extra lenses or a mirrorless camera. If you have questions, can you try to explain?
Tech Gear Talk ah okay! What I mean is I was confused which one to purchase, this compact camera or sony mirrorless camera a5100 or other mirrorless camera out there.. Now that I know canon g7x ii is superb, I already decide I want to purchase this :)
Awesome. I'm excited for you. Good luck!!
Got this camera yesterday,and I love it!
That's awesome Mikayla!! I'm super happy for you. Congrats!
@@TechGearTalk Thanks!It was you're review that persuaded me to get it😂
So glad that you love it. Enjoy 🙏🏻
Video editing software for pc? 👍
Free or paid?
Paid
I use Adobe Premiere Pro and pay for it monthly with the rest of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite (but I use it for work).
Check out Filmora which is a lot less expensive. Also, Divinci Resolve has a free version and is extremely powerful.
Do you recommend this for simply food photography??
It will work. You can also check out the M50
Very helpful review, I plan to purchase to use in lieu of my DSLR when needed!
Glad it was helpful Keisha! You can also look at the new one (now that they fixed the auto focus issue) th-cam.com/video/Hd68_SvjL60/w-d-xo.html
hi ,iwant to ask you that if i want to take a selfie with my friend and i am the one who closer to the camera,how can i put every one in focus,because the camera keeps putting just me,i will be soo gratefull if you answer me, thanks
I just got one & unboxed today only. Hopefully it’s gonna be a super good one👍.
Congrats!!! Let me know how it works out!
Sure, I will share how it works:). Can I ask if it’s easy to transfer the videos & photo to Ipad & Iphone? Thanks.
You can do it wirelessly if you want. If it were me, I would get a lightening SD card reader like this one: amzn.to/2ZrRkH7
Great video! Very helpful.
Super glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and for leaving feedback
What a great review. Thank you.
I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
Can I use the Canon remote (BR-E1) with this camera?
Thank you very helpful! Great overall review of the camera, I was able to pick up on many various topics. You spoke slowly and clearly, which was extremely helpful as some of the you tube videos I have trouble following. Thanks again! Just received my camera and can't wait to use it very soon.
Thank you so much for the kind words Diana!!
I'm so happy that the video was helpful and easy to follow.
Let me know how it works out for you.
Thank you for reviewing New camera g7x nice for Vloging eupment camera 📸📷
Very honest & solid review! The Canon G7X M II is definitely my next purchase for TH-cam videos. Just sold my Canon 70D DSLR and have been looking for a more compact unit with a good resolution & this is my weapon of choice! Thanks for sharing! #Subscribed
Thank you so much, I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you as well for the support!
All are complaining mic quality is not good i mean voice quality is not good in camera
You’ve just earned a new subscriber
I hope the video was helpful. Appreciate the support!
Can you make a video of your manual settings for taking sunrise/sunset images with this cam pls? Im just starting to learn
It was a great review. Even if I have this camera for only a week I took many photos and I love it. I use DSLRs (Nikon D5100 and D7100) for 7 years now. This is my second Canon Powershot camera after 4-year use of Canon G7. I strongly recommend this camera. It has many good features like F/1.8 for night shots and background blur, Articulating screen for shooting in different angles (poor boy does not support in portrait mode), Two rings + EV Comp for full manual usage ability, Wifi connection for sharing instantly, 5cm Macro mode. Actually, I really think to replace this camera as my main camera.
Thanks so much for the kind words and for all the insight! 🙏
Canon G7 Mark III is rumoured to be out in the market sometime in September 2019 ?
I'm super excited! I wonder if they will add a mic input or if they will keep that for the mirrorless and dslr lineup
Great Review - covered all the features that I will use to make a purchase. Thank You
That's great to hear Ed. I'm glad it was helpful. Appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback 🙏
Hi, I just ordered a Canon - PowerShot G7 X Mark II 20.1-Megapixel Digital Camera at Walmart. I would like to know if it's the same thing as Canon - PowerShot G7 X Mark II 20.1-Megapixel Digital Video Camera. Will I be able to use it for vlogging?
yes and yes. congrats
Thanks nice VLOG & by the way I noticed the audio quality is not that good with the windy weather
You're very welcome. Yes, the wind is an issue. Google "micromuff" and get one.
@@TechGearTalk thanks alot
you're very welcome
I really like the way you explain and explain quite deeply...thumbs up from my side..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I also have seen many other reviews of Cams...and i loved them...keep it up...
Glad the video was helpful. Appreciate you being part of the community!
I am Glad. I just a beginner and have no idea about Cams and dslr's... even I am not prety sure about mirror less and mirror ones🤪. But I am a learner.. and i am learning through your videos...
Glad you're getting into the hobby.
I sure am... Cause i do have to cover some small functions. As i have an old handycam of canon and now i really really need to upgrade...
makes sense
Good reviews
So I took many low light photos at a wedding using the AUTO ode. Manyof my shots did not focus What did I do wrong. Disappoining auto focus performance or bad settings ? Thanks
thank you so much for making this video! I am new to TH-cam and currently still using my iPhone to create content but I am on the hunt for a great camera to use! Ive heard so many amazing things about this camera. I literally know NOTHING about cameras, lol. Im not very tech savy when it comes to them so I wanted to know more about this camera from someone who does know about these things and can explain it in a way I would understand. You did exactly that! And I very much appreciate it!
I'm super glad it was helpful. Also check out this camera: th-cam.com/video/kmy4Oq3YbMU/w-d-xo.html
Great review! Awesome details! What camera did you use to shoot this video?
Thanks! I used a couple of C100mkii
Thank you, I just bought my today, battery still in charged so I watching you to learn more,, thank you and I appreciate ...
CONGRATS!!! Hope you like your new camera. Thanks for joining the community!
Should I buy the canon 90d in 2021??
Great video! Quick question...if you have a bluetooth mic, is that an option with this camera? This is my first buy so I have no clue. Thank you!
Hi there. No, this camera has no mic input so you can not use any external mic. You would have to record to a recorder and then sync the audio and video if you want better sound. Or pick up a camera like the SL2 or M50. Hope this helps. Thanks for being part of the channel.
Thank you. A question, about the quality of pictures I need to have 300 megapixel. So does it take image with this quality?
Definitely not. Cameras that shoot at that resolution are about $10,000+
I’m assuming you need it to print something. You can just upscaleit in photoshop.
Which is better for video work
Canon g7x or Panasonic Lumix Is 10
??
If it were me, I would go the the G7X MKII. I just like the Canon ergonomics and the autofocus for video is great. The LS 10 has 4K, but I don't need 4K out of this type of camera. What do you think?
Tech Gear Talk I want to create movies from sports exercises. Do you think that will make the films better or no difference between them?
Do you already own the Lumix LS 10? Meaning, are you trying to figure out if it's worth buying a new camera? Or do you not have either and trying to figure out which to buy?
Tech Gear Talk I do not have a camera right now but I want to buy one and I do not know which is better so I'm asking you
They will both do a similar job. What is the price difference where you live?
Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate your input on this camera. I have a 6D but I want a smaller camera to use when out on walks or hiking. I think this will work well for me based on your description. That touchscreen autofocus feature looks incredible. I'm going to be so spoiled!
That auto focus feature is great. There’s also a newer model now if you’re interested: th-cam.com/video/Hd68_SvjL60/w-d-xo.html
I sold this right away.. didnt like that it didnt have microphone input... good quality of video /photo though
Thank you! I was super glad they fixed it with the Mark III th-cam.com/video/Hd68_SvjL60/w-d-xo.html
very helpful. Thank you so much!
I'm so happy that it was helpful. Did I cover everything you wanted? Do you still have any questions?
How abt blurry background with this camera???
Super helpful!Thanks for the review!
You are very welcome MiKayla. Are you thinking of using it for vlogging?
Yes,sir.I already have a couple videos up,but the phone I used is almost impossible to plug into my computer.So I'm saving for this camera.
Makes since. It will probably help a lot with your workflow then. Plus it will be better image quality than your phone. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck!
Thanks for watching (and hopefully subscribing)
Your welcome!I definitely subscribed😊
Super grateful 🙏🏻
What handheld tripod are you using for this camera btw? 😁❤
For a tripod, I use a Joby.
Also, thank you for joining the community 🙏🏻
Great video!!!!!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Appreciate you being part of the channel!
what camera are you using to record? the quality is impeccable!
Thank you for the compliment!
I am using 2 Canon C100MKii for my videos.
Why is the image upside down when the screen is flipped up , only when it’s not in movie mode
Hi! Thank you for this great review. However, most of it is dedicated to filming. I am looking for a device that can do both. How would you rate this camera's photography?
This was my first camera review and I was mostly using it for video. Check out the mark iii review where I discuss both: th-cam.com/video/Hd68_SvjL60/w-d-xo.html
For vlogging, what about external sound recording with an external recorder and lavalier mic?
That’s the best option if you want professional audio with the g7xmkii
Tech Gear Talk thanks! I just wanted to see if that would make sense. Moving up from an iPhone with rode mic which gives nice audio, but the video could be better and I don’t want to be attached to my phone all the time. 👍🏼
Why not go with M50 or SL2? th-cam.com/video/JIb30UZKmkY/w-d-xo.html
I'm confused whether to get canon m50 or this camera you're talking about. Just a quick question, Which one is great for vlogging? Thanks 😉👍
Hi Dee, thanks for watching. I just got the M50 and will be doing a review of it shortly. I am also planning to do a live stream this weekend about if you're available so please make sure you subscribe so you're notified.
Both will be great options but it's a matter of what you want to do with it. Take a look at this video: th-cam.com/video/l--LXQJ-yh4/w-d-xo.html
The M50 will be similar to the M6 (with 4k)
Great vid!!!
Thank you for watching and for the feedback. Appreciate your time.
This is a great review. I rarely last to the end of these reviews but you had me riveted to the screen, well done and thank you.
Thanks so much Andrew. Glad I was able to keep you interested. Hope it was helpful.
Tech Gear Talk in fact so helpful you convinced me to buy it now, which I just did, and not wait for the MKIII. Many thanks for a great review
Glad I was able to help you make a decision. Appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback.
