PowerShot G9 X Camera

20.2 megapixel digital camera with a touch-screen display features a fast f/2.0-4.9 lens to help capture inspiring images, even in low light, with detail and color to match. Its slim design allows it to be easily portable whether it's carried in your hand, a bag or inside a pocket to quickly be in your grasp when opportunity knocks. 1" image sensor captures a greater range of light, so bright areas of the image, like clouds on a sunny day, can be more detailed and less likely to be washed or blown out. ISO range of 125-12800 lets you use fast shutter speeds to help keep photos sharp and virtually unaffected by camera shake. Subjects in the distance become closer with a 3X optical zoom lens to help you take wide shots like a big party scene or a gorgeous landscape. With a convenient control ring for quick adjustments on the fly, built-in Wi-Fi and NFC for simple sharing and its appealing portability, this camera is always ready when you are, where you are.
