G7X Mark II
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- If you care more about traveling light and staying stress-free, the G7X Mark II is the smarter choice. It’s not the same quality, but it’s plenty good for street and travel shots.
- pros: versatile zoom lens, lightweight, able to be used for video and photo, less likely to be a target of pickpocketing
- I bought this camera about three years ago straight from Canon and I’m absolutely devastated because someone stole it out of my purse in August and I didn’t have enough money at the time to repurchase. For what it’s worth this camera was...
Cons
- At the end of the day it's almost a 10 year old camera now and like....personally not worth it imo.
- My first street photography cam was a G7X mark II years ago and it's a good camera don't get me wrong, but for 700 you can get newer compacts with better features like a Sony ZV1 mark 1 or 2 imo.
- I mean $700 is cheap for G7X Mark II. It tends to be more like $1000 due to the Tik Tok hype. But personally I feel $700 is still too much for a digital compact that is now 10 years old.
- I hear that it lags when you try to take consecutive photos, which is a concern.
- Here are the current contenders: Canon M50 Mark II (mirrorless), Sony RX100 III ,Canon 200D II / Rebel SL3, SONY ZV-E10 / Z30, G7X Mark II.

I've been wanting to buy a compact camera for photography but I don't think the insane prices of the G7X mark II or III are worth it right now for such old cameras.
If you care more about traveling light and staying stress-free, the G7X Mark II is the smarter choice. It’s not the same quality, but it’s plenty good for street and travel shots.
pros: versatile zoom lens, lightweight, able to be used for video and photo, less likely to be a target of pickpocketing
cons: smaller sensor, worse in low light (not a huge deal), less AF points, overall lower in quality, not sure if it’s the best for portraits but could be okay for landscape/street photography??
How are they going for so much, w/ 1080P video only too
