Canon Powershot G9X mark II discontinued
2

I’m a big fan of the G9X II and since I already shot more than 10.000 photo’s with mine and since I have no idea when it will stop working I was considering buying a spare G9X II.

So I regularly check prices of the G9X II for a good deal. Unfortunately the last time I checked there was only one store left that had only one unit left. So I checked several sellers but all of them had already removed the G9X II (black version) from there sites. So I contacted Canon here in the Netherlands. After some mails they admitted that the G9X II is discontinued…

I also asked if they were going to release a G9X III but they could not answer that.

A shame if true. My wife uses a G9 II and has captured countess beautiful images!

* Small

* good image quality

* long battery life (4oo photos on a charge).

* What's not to like?

It's got a very short zoom range and slower lens.  Many phones are coming with larger and larger sensors and fast lenses, and extra telephoto lens modules that may exceed what the G9X can offer.  I am not sure it has much of a market anymore.

Indeed a great little camera.

But 400 shots out of one battery charge? I usually get about 225 shots oud of one charge.

I kid you not, my wife has often gotten ~ 400 photos on a charge. Just this weekend we went backpacking and she took 383 photos. She could have taken even more.

The big battery user is turning on and off and extending and retracting the zoom and sensor power for the camera being on and active. If you turn on camera and take 20 pictures or 2 pictures in 5 minutes, the battery usage will be roughly the same. If you power on, 1 shot, power off and repeat 100x, you might only get 100 shots per battery

it’s like I know a guy who gets 1000+ shots on his mirrorless where I get 300. It’s because he does birds and shoots everything in 10fps burst. A burst of 20 in 2 secs takes about the same as me taking 1 shot in single shot.
