Canon have updated their popular G9X compact camera with a couple of new additions. While it remains largely unchanged from its Mark I predecessor, it does feature a couple of pretty significant changes. The two biggest two being the massive speed increase from a 1fps Raw “burst” to 8.2fps as well as a new dual IS system utilising both the sensor and lens.

Although compact cameras seem to be slowly dying off due to the advancements of cameras in smartphones, it isn’t stopping some companies. Some people just prefer the versatility of a zoom lens and better ergonomics. The G9X Mark II is also the first Canon PowerShot to feature Bluetooth as well as Wi-Fi and NFC, as well as improved AF tracking.

Canon Announces (un)New PowerShot G5 X, G9 X and Mirrorless EOS M10

While the rumor mill on Canon’s new flagship is starting engines, the older lines are getting an upgrade. Canon announced today their new PowerShot G5 X, PowerShot G9 X and a new Mirrorles EOS M10 (preorder links).

Just before hitting the specs and the announcement info, I have one thing to say: Canon, Get your mirrorless game together. Mirorrless is not there yet, but it will be soon, and if you don’t step up your game with a decent 4/3 or full frame mirrorless sensor you are going to slowly lose the market. And while we are on the subject of new cameras, do point and shoot like the G9 X even make sense anymore? Between smartphone cameras getting better and the small form factor that comes with mirrorless, I fail to see the need for a phone-form-factor point and shoot. So Canon, please amaze us with something new and relevant! Spec, photos and availability after the jump.
