What camera should I buy instead of the canon powershot g5 x mark ii?

If you like the G5 X Mark II's pocket size and 1-inch sensor but want something different, two other Canon compacts in the catalogue are worth a look:

• Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II: a 1-inch compact with a bright 24-100mm-equivalent zoom, announced in 2016. It's the one to pick if the zoom range matters more to you than the pop-up viewfinder.
• Canon PowerShot G5 X: a 1-inch compact from 2015 with an SLR-styled body and a built-in viewfinder. Choose it if you want something that feels more like a camera in your hands.

Both are older than the G5 X Mark II, so check their current prices and condition before you buy. If you'd rather not stay with Canon, the first camera guide explains what a 1-inch compact is good for and how it compares with a mirrorless camera.
