Canon G9X Mark II sensor review: 1-inch format compact camera for enthusiasts

Announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January, the PowerShot G9 X Mark II is the successor to the original model of the same name introduced in October 2015. Although marketed as a premium model, the G9 X is in fact the entry-level variant in the company’s lineup of cameras using the 1-inch type CMOS sensor. While the G7 X, G5 X, and G3 X models also use the 1-inch type sensor, they are more expensive and they’re also larger: the G9 X is still the most pocket-friendly model available of its type.
