Canon EOS 7D vs Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II

I know it’s not a top tier camera but it was in my budget and I felt like I would actually use it. I’m not sure if technically it outperforms the 7D… but it seems like it does! Anyways… I would love to invest in a lens here soon. I would love a sigma lens but it’s a little pricey so I’m wondering if a Canon 50mm would be worth it?

While the raw files have excellent dynamic range, the tonality in the JPEG versions look a little more compressed than I'm happy with, and more than can be explained away by a difference in bit depth (the same raw image opened as 16-bit in Photoshop and then downconverted to 8-bit retains better contrast). As for the video, it looks very good, though to me not nearly as sharp or saturated as a midrange Canon HD camcorder (the trade-off, here, of course, is interchangeable lenses for a reasonable price). The biggest draw for current Canon users thinking of stepping up from the 50D (or that class of camera) to the 7D is the improved autofocus and better photo quality at higher ISO sensitivities; it's significantly better than the 50D in those respects, and well worth the price differential. Things aren't quite as clear when compared with the 5D Mark II

This is the cameras highlight! The camera produces images quickly and without any sort of lag, no matter how hard you push it. Use a high-end SD card as well to marry that processor to the speed of a quality SD card. The optical zoom is a 5X. Fair enough

It makes it much quicker and easier as before. You can move this little white frame in the middle of the screen to an area of interest and have a clos...

The digital zoom goes out to 20x, and I was really surprised by how good the image quality is - it produces very usable images at that range. Prior to this I always looked at digital zoom as useless unless you are photographing aliens getting out of a flying saucer and have to stay out of range of their ray guns. Of course it is not perfect. I wish it focused a little faster in still photo modes, but it's fine in most situations

Canon "claimed" to have sent me a email link where I could send them my pictures. Funny thing is, to date I have not received a email link, over three weeks. Update, tonight, after following a Canon 7D users following "tips"; Verify the AF in aperture priority and shutter priority using a single AF point and multiple AF points. It is also important to remember to set the proper Custom Function III

The $1,699 (list, body only) 18-megapixel Canon EOS 7D takes beautiful pictures—in a wide variety of lighting situations. But the true lure of the Canon 7D is that it's the only sub-$2,000 D-SLR that offers a multitude of high-definition video-capture options. If versatile HD video isn't a priority for you, however, you can get the same still-image results from other Canon and Nikon D-SLRs that are much less expensive, like the $800 (with lens) Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i or the $900 (body only) Nikon D90.

The video toolkit here is pretty basic. The G5 X can record at 4K at 30fps—a firmware update is coming to add 24fps by the end of the year. It also supports 1080p at up to 120fps, so slow-motion playback is an option.

Battery life? Haven't had an issue but bought another one for back-up purposes. I was a bit ticked at having to buy another baterry at $80 since I already have two with my 40D and it seems like a waste - but I'm sure there's a reason. Right Canon? You probably want to get at least a 16 GB card with 60 MB/s. I've used my old 4GB and 8GB without issues but it nice to have the extra space and speed to shoot JPEG and RAW at a high FPS

Depending on your choice of settings and usage patterns, it also has short battery life.
