Canon got their New Year started off with a bang with the announcement of the PowerShot G9 X Mark II premium point-and-shoot camera and three updated versions of their Vixia series of personal camcorders.
The Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II features a 1.0- inch 20.2 Megapixel sensor and packs a lot of punch for such a small package.
The G9 X Mark II features Canon’s latest image processor, DIGIC 7 (also found on the G7X Mark II & EOS M5), giving users improved subject tracking, scene detection and more.
Are you a Social Media junkie? The PowerShot G9 X Mark II is the first Canon PowerShot digital camera to be equipped with Bluetooth®, making photo sharing across your social media networks when connected to a compatible smartphone or tablet a snap!
The G9 X Mark II also features several “pro-like” features such as in-camera RAW conversion feature, improved Time-Lapse Movie Mode and continuous shooting speeds of up to 8.2fps.

Canon Powershot G9X Mark II – Silver
The PowerShot G9 X Mark II camera combines an ultra-slim design with high-performing features such as the DIGIC 7 Image Processor and built-in Bluetooth Technology.
In addition to the G9X Mark II, Canon also announced updates to their consumer camcorder line with the Vixia HF R82, R80, and R800 models.
All three models carry essentially the same features with the main difference being internal storage capacity, with the R82 offering 32 GB, enough to store up to 12 hours of footage and the R80 offering 16 GB or around 6 hours of footage.
Both models also have a SD card slot available for extra storage capacity.
The R800 doesn’t feature any internal memory capability, but instead has an SD card slot on which to store your footage on.
The other big difference is that the R800 also lacks the Wi-Fi connectivity of the other two more expensive models.
Those differences aside, each new model is equipped with a 57x Advanced Zoom and SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer, a 3.28 Megapixel Full HD CMOS Canon Image Sensor, the DIGIC DV4 Image Processor and a 3.0-inch capacitive touch panel LCD.
Other new features common to all three models include Flexible Slow and Fast motion recording, backlight correction when in Highlight Priority mode and support for the Canon Camera Connect App 3.
