- Local Adventures with the PowerShot G5X Mark II
-
Travelling is about experiencing new and often unexpected moments. As photographers, we want to be able to capture these experiences in the best way we can, despite changing conditions and a range of different subjects. In preparation for this, it is easy to want to drag round bulky cameras and a range of lenses and accessories.
While there are circumstances when these cameras are the right tool for the job, having a small setup means you can forget about the gear and focus on the experiences themselves. This is where the PowerShot G5X Mark II excels.
The PowerShot G5X Mark II is a compact camera that weighs only 340 grams and is small enough to slip into your pocket! Despite its size, it packs so many features – some that even put the pro level cameras to shame! The 8.8 - 40mm (24 - 120mm Equivalent) lens gives you have the ability to capture subjects through a range of focal lengths, while creating beautiful depth with its F1.8 - F2.8 aperture. The camera's one-inch sensor creates up to 20Mp RAW images, which allows you to edit your beautiful travel photos without losing any quality.
I often find myself shooting at sunset, or under the light of the stars, so I wanted to put the low-light capabilities of the G5X Mark II to the test. It is safe to say it exceeded my expectations in that regard. The in-body stabilisation allowed me to capture sharp photos even in low light, and its manual controls meant that I could have a slow enough shutter-speed to capture the milky-way at night.
The PowerShot G5X Mark II is an incredible solution to lightweight travel, without compromising on quality. It is the perfect choice for those looking for an on-the-go setup to create beautiful photos and videos.
