According to our compact camera expert
With the Canon G7 Mark II Black - Vlog Kit, you can get started with vlogging right away. Thanks to the Joby GorillaPod, this set is suitable for novice vloggers who also film on location. Save all your footage on the 32GB memory card.
User-friendly cameraThanks to its 180-degrees tiltable touchscreen and its light weight, the camera is very suitable for vlogging. You focus, take photos, swipe through your files, and adjust the camera settings with the touchscreen. Via NFC, you can easily send the recorded footage to your smartphone, tablet, or printer. With this camera, you take photos in RAW file format. This way, you have a lot of freedom when you're editing the images. And because the G7 X II captures 8 images per second, you can capture fast actions sharply.
Flexible tripodWith the GorillaPod 500, you get a versatile, flexible tripod for cameras up to 500 grams. The flexible legs can be bended and adjusted, so you can place it on any type of uneven surface. Create even more recording freedom by wrapping the legs around pipes or cylinders. You can also fold the legs together into a selfie stick, for more movement in your vlogs. The included ball head can be tilted up to 90 degrees, even when the tripod is mounted on a pipe.

The G7Xm2 feels very sturdy and well built thanks to the metal housing, and the grip is a very big plus over the m1. Please note, in terms of size and weight, the cam is not the camera that you can easily slide into your jeans (that's what the G9X is for), but in a vest pocket. But I still recommend a suitable bag to avoid accidents (such as dust in the lens and accidentally crushing the lens cover)
The G7Xm2 also has a tilt or bounce flash (like RX100 series), unlike the m1. The LCD is clearly visible, even on sunny days. You can light up the LCD yourself by pressing the info button. Or tilt the screen. The LCD screen of the G7Xm2 can not only be tilted 90° upwards (selfie position), but also 45° downwards. The touchscreen is very easy for when you want to focus on something off-center, and well built in if it is. Fortunately, the touch shutter is only adjustable via the menu.
The image quality of the G7Xm2 is very good to excellent, with the well-known canon colors, personally I think the JPGs are a bit better themselves or the m1, even at higher ISO, although there is always a bit more softness in the corners at 24mm ( if you are going to pixel pee or take a special look), through the 24-100mm lens (as opposed to RX100m3 and m4 where the lens is only 24-70mm).
The camera is very fast in startup, focusing and shot-to-shot time in normal lighting conditions. With little light or little contrast in the scene, it takes a little longer (big word), then you can always reduce the focus square, or use spot focus. The burst function is also much improved compared to its predecessor (8 frames per second in theory, about 5 to 6 in practice for Jpg + Raw)
In short, there are numerous settings in the menus and functions that you can set to your personal choice and assign them to certain buttons. This is of course not a camera to simply use in a car (as a point and shoot), but this camera has a serious learning curve to learn to use all functions optimally.
Because of the 14bit Raw (very large files) you will soon need a 32Gb or more SDHC/XS card if you plan to make a lot of Raw recordings, or film a lot.
What I personally am less pleased with is the fact that with a non-original Canon battery (any other brand), the camera gives a message in the form of. Is this an original Canon battery, yes or no. When answering "yes" you get the message, error in battery and the cam shuts down. If you answer "no" you will get the message, use only at your own risk and no warranty, but the cam works but without a battery indicator. So it is best that you always have a spare battery with you. By the way, that's the same message with G9X and G5X. That's a stupid move by Canon, especially since the original Canon batteries are so expensive.

It is a solid and professional camera that anyone can use. I am a layman myself but understand the settings well and it is way user friendly.

A great camera for point and shoot. Very high quality of photos and film. Despite a few minor flaws, this camera gets the highest score from me. It would only be nice if accessories such as batteries and cables became more price-friendly. You really pay a premium for that. I know that there are now plenty of replacement products from third parties, but if I already spend a lot of money for a camera, I still go for the original accessories, despite the sometimes ridiculously high prices.
