The Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II sets itself apart from the competition thanks to its dinky proportions, but this does mean there are a few small sacrifices to be made. However, if you're looking for a neat compact camera that delivers vastly superior images to your smartphone, has some decent connectivity options and simple-to-use-controls, the G9 X Mark II is an excellent choice.

The Canon G9 X Mark II is speedy and takes great pictures for its small size, but other compact cameras offer more features for around the same price.

The Canon Powershot G9X Mark II is a slim, pocketable compact camera with a 20MP 1-inch sensor and 28-84mm equivalent lens. It combines enthusiast-friendly manual control with heavily touchscreen-driven operation, and costs £449.

The G9X Mark II utilises on-chip contrast detection for autofocus, and on the whole it’s fast, quiet and accurate. The desired focus point can be selected by tapping the touchscreen, or alternatively you can use face detection or defer focus area selection to the camera. Manual focus is also available, controlled using onscreen touch buttons. But I found it to be a slow and unsatisfactory experience, and stuck with auto instead.
