Canon PowerShot G9X Mark II gets DIGIC 7 upgrade
The PowerShot G9X Mark II packs a 20.1MP 1-inch CMOS-type sensor.
The new generation DIGIC 7 image processor delivers high precision tracking performance, and also allows for touch detection of subjects. It can automatically detect and track the face of a designated person. Likewise, animals and even objects that are no highly discernible in low colour-saturation background.
Additionally, the processor enables continuous shooting of 8.1fps possible. Also, the 3x large aperture zoom lens (28-84mm, 25mm equivalent) assures high image clarity, even in low-light conditions.
The DIGIC 7 also maintains excellent resolution and image clarity at high ISO. Edge noise at 1600 is suppressed to ISO 800 levels.
Also, dual-sensing image stabilisation provides 3.5 stops of image stabilisation when shooting still images, and reduces camera shake effectively when shooting in low-light or at night.
The newly developed dual-sensing stabilisation uses a gyro sensor to detect physical vibration, and a new algorithm that uses information from the image sensor to compensate for image blur.
For the first time ever, Bluetooth LE technology is introduced to the PowerShot G Series line in the Canon PowerShot G9X Mark II.
This enables seamless and automatic Wi-Fi connection between camera and mobile devices. Additionally, it allows for the use of mobile phones as a remote control or playback of images.
The PowerShot G9X Mark II can be charged up via micro-USB cable.
DIGIC 4+ compact trio
The Canon PowerShot SX430 IS, Canon IXUS 90 and Canon IXUS 185 share some common underpinning. The 1 2/3-inch 20MP CCD mage sensor and DIGIC 4+ image processor.
The PowerShot SX430 IS zooms up to 45x optical zoom, or 90x with ZoomPlus; the IXUS 190 has 10x zoom (20x with ZoomPlus); and the IXUS 185 offers 8x zoom (16x with ZoomPlus).
The IS moniker, familiar in Canon’s DSLR lens range, is exactly what you’re expecting – image stabilisation, especially for those long zooms. This is available on the PowerShot SX430 IS and IXUS 190.
The PowerShot SX430 IS and IXUS 90 also comes with Wi-Fi and NFC capabilities.
