Photokina 2014: Canon Taps Selfie Addicts with the G7 X
Wednesday, September 17, 2014
Photokina is now in full swing. So of course the biggest names in the camera industry have started taking the wraps off its newest imaging products. Canon is definitely one of them. In fact, its recently announced EOS 7D Mark II was one of the biggest announcements at the event.
And although the 7D has got a lot of people excited, it’s not a product that appeals to a broad audience. Consumers who are looking for a more compact and a more user-friendly camera without compromising performance will be excited with the announcement of the G7 X.
In the looks department, the G7 X is really simple and unassuming. It has a 1-inch 20.2MP BSI CMOS sensor which when partnered with a Digic 6 image processor and a 24-100mm equivalent f/1.8-2.8 lens allows the camera to produce sharp and high-quality images.
At the back of the camera is a 1.04M-dot 3-inch touchscreen panel that flips up to 180 degrees making it perfect for selfies. The G7 X also has a 31-point AF system that gives it the ability to shoot continuously at 6.5fps.
Other notable features of the G7 X include Full HD video recording at 60fps, a built-in ND filter, Wi-Fi, NFC and a pop-up flash. Canon will be offering the G7 X starting next month at $700.
