Canon powershot g5 x vs canon powershot g5 x mark ii?

The two cameras share the same 1-inch sensor and f/1.8-2.8 lens, so the difference comes down to reach and the viewfinder. The Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II stretches its zoom to 8.8-44mm, which frames like 24-119mm on full frame. The original Canon PowerShot G5 X stops at 8.8-37mm, or about 24-99mm equivalent. The Mark II is the one I'd pick for travel and general use, since that extra reach matters more than anything else here. The original's built-in viewfinder is the SLR-style touch you may prefer, though.

If you want a shorter zoom in a slimmer body, look at the Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II. For a bright zoom close to the G5 X's, the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II is the one to check.
