Review on Photo camera Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II, black by Agata Bachanek ᠌

A good compact camera for advanced beginners. DSLRs and interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras are more capable, but they are also larger, heavier, and generally more expensive. The camera fits into the pockets of trousers or shirts, although it sticks out at the same time. As with many cameras, the quality of pictures in standard modes is not always stable. Problems, if they occur, are not in detail (under normal lighting, graininess appears only at high magnification), but in the transfer of light and color. They are not critical, but to avoid them completely, you can either work with manual settings, which requires experience and intuition, or master the "professional" RAW mode (as a rule, entry-level cameras do not have it). The second way takes a lot of time when processing photos, but you can not worry about the quality of the pictures at the time of shooting (a very important feature for compact cameras "snatched and clicked"). A rather large matrix creates a reserve for image processing - you can restore an overexposed sky or turn a thick shadow into a light penumbra while maintaining small details. The camera has only one fatal minus - the zoom is only 3x (compactness costs). However, the photos have a margin of quality, so even small fragments cut out of the picture look good. But sometimes a larger increase is still not enough. Lack of GPS can only be a problem for those who care. The price is one of the lowest among similar models. For shooting in RAW mode, you must definitely buy a large SD card (32 GB or more), because one RAW file takes ~ 30 megabytes. The battery life would be estimated at 300-400 shots, although 235-250 usually appeared in the descriptions.
