1.0-inch, 20.1 Megapixel High-sensitivity CMOS Sensor.
The PowerShot G9 X Mark 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.
DIGIC 7 Image Processor.
The DIGIC 7 Image Processor takes the PowerShot G9 X Mark II camera to the next level with fast operation and high image quality, even in low light. It helps speed up start-up time, operation time and continuous shooting, while providing noise reduction even at high ISO settings to help capture sharp, detailed images in virtually any lighting situation. Enhanced tracking and detection capabilities help lock onto your subject throughout the action, from improved face tracking to help keep your subject in focus, to Dual Sensing IS which helps minimize blur caused by camera shake and body movement. This results in clear, precise pictures even at slow shutter speeds. Providing high detail, low noise and fast, accurate tracking, the DIGIC 7 Image Processor helps deliver high-quality photos and videos.
Ultra-slim, Lightweight and Pocket-size Camera.
At only 7.3 ounces (206g), the PowerShot G9 X Mark II is a compact camera that can easily fit into a pocket or purse. Packing a large, high-quality image sensor and bright f/2.0 lens, it helps create high-quality photos, even in low light.
