Equipped with a 0.39-inch EVF (electronic viewfinder) that employs an approximately 2.36 million dot high-resolution OLED panel, the PowerShot G5 X Mark II makes possible comfortable viewfinder shooting. Furthermore, when the camera’s pop-up EVF is stowed away, it achieves a compact, portable size measuring approximately 110.9 mm (w) x 60.9 mm (h) x 46 mm (d).

Combining a DIGIC 8 image processor with a 1.0-inch 20.1-million effective-pixel1 stacked CMOS sensor, the first employed by Canon, the PowerShot G5 X Mark II realizes enhanced video functions and high-speed continuous shooting. Making possible 4K video shooting2 from the full width of the sensor for the first time in a Canon digital compact camera, users can take full advantage of the lens’s angle of view to utilize such composition elements as landscapes when shooting wide-angle video. What’s more, the camera makes possible high-speed continuous shooting of up to approximately 30 frames per second3, enabling the shooter to capture the precious moments they are after.

Featuring a newly designed, fast 24–120 mm (35 mm film equivalent) 5x zoom lens with a large f/1.8–f/2.8 aperture, the PowerShot G5 X Mark II achieves high image quality with little blur and noise, even in low-light shooting scenarios. Additionally, featuring improved spherical aberration correction at the wide-angle end, the lens achieves excellent resolution for macro shooting.

1 Actual pixel count: approximately 20.9 million pixels.
2 When shooting 4K (30p/25p) with Auto Level and image stabilization turned off. High framerate video (120p/100p) is available when shooting Full HD.
3 When using RAW Burst mode with AF Lock, the camera makes possible continuous shooting of up to 70 frames (including pre-shooting).
