Compared to the previous model, the camera has become somewhat smaller. For this but had to give way and the display is no longer the small optical viewfinder schwenbar example.
In general, the Mark II can be considered a successful development of the G1X. Because sensor, lens, image processor Autofocus and of course the housing
were revised and improved the performance.
Manual Focus Peaking function with and image magnifying glass is also available. In practice, the manual focus works very well.
The objective is now lichtstätker, the focal range is greater and the autofocus faster. WLAN and Bluetooth round out the TOP equipment.
HDR mode and ND filter are Off course in this price range.
The camera is what the processing concerns beyond Jegen doubt.
The metal - body feels very good to all knobs and buttons are easy to reach and also the ergonomics overall is very good.
The rubber grip provides excellent stability and grip.
The most important parameters (eg ISO, WB, program shift, aperture, time, AE / AF lock exposure, etc.) can be operated directly.
Very handy are the two lens dials, which also functions can still be assigned.
The Mode Dial allows in addition to a fully automatic, the common modes P, S, A, M 2 Custon places and also a series of scene modes and creative programs.
The video mode has its own switch position.
A bluish white focus assist light is also fitted with the cone of light is bundled quite sharp and can thus focus even when a little further
distant objects (about 5m) support. The focus is thus accurate and relatively fast even in low light.
About the App Canon CameraWindow out the photos from the camera to the iPad read transfer. The pictures are then considered and, if necessary, on the pad or
Smartphone are stored. Very successful is also the possibility to remotely control the camera using the app. The following functions are possible: zoom, flash modes, self-timer 2/10 sec
and of course the shooting of photos per app. With the Iphone, Ipad it works really well.
A word on the lens. A abolut everyday use zoom range, excellent optical performance, coupled with light intensity and a very good OIS
make the camera a Allroundtalalent.
These facilities and the performance can be Canon but also pay very well 850 are 'a lot of wood. Since there ever a system camera with zoom lens
and even a fixed focal length so.

o continuous shooting speed (4.9 frames / s
o shop is possible only about 3 hours in the charging cradle
- Relatively difficult
- Optical viewfinder only optional 300
- Low battery replacement quite expensive 70
- Manual only online (briefing paper included)
Really I have to complain about the weak Accu who does not quite fit with 240 photos capacity to the camera.
A spare battery is expensive but also a must
Overall, a good camera that knows how to convince with very few weaknesses.
Despite the weak battery and the relatively high price 5 stars
