The Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II is an advanced compact camera featuring a large sensor, fast processing, and a flexible zoom lens. The 20.1MP 1" CMOS sensor uses a stacked design, which couples with the DIGIC 8 image processor to realize fast autofocus performance, quick full resolution shooting up to 20 fps, and UHD 4K30p video recording. Complementing the sensor and processor is a 5x zoom lens, which covers a 24-120mm equivalent focal length range for wide-angle to short-telephoto fields of view. An f/1.8-2.8 maximum aperture range suits working in difficult lighting conditions as does an Optical Image Stabilizer, which compensates for the effects of camera shake. 

A large 20.1MP 1" stacked CMOS sensor, along with a DIGIC 8 image processor and imaging performance characterized by high speed and low noise. Sensor design with the DIGIC 8 processor, affords especially quick focusing speeds, up to 20-fps continuous shooting, a 30-fps Raw Burst mode, and UHD 4K30p and Full HD 120p video recording. The versatile 5x optical zoom lens covers a wide-angle to short telephoto 24-120mm equivalent focal length range. Rear 3.0" 1.04m-dot touchscreen offers a large means for live view monitoring, reviewing imagery, and navigating the menu. Pop-up electronic viewfinder features a 2.36m-dot resolution for sharp and clear eye-level viewing. In-camera battery charging, from a power bank, outlet, or computer, is possible via the USB port. Star Shooting modes can be used to capture photos and videos of the nighttime sky with enhanced brilliance and clarity. Panorama mode lets you pan about the scene to automatically produce stitched panoramic images.
