It is a common problem for most cameras to under-perform for night settings. The only exception is the Canon PowerShot G7 X. Curious to know why?
Most cameras are ideal for day photography. Be it early morning or late afternoon, most cameras perform a fine job in the day. It is night shooting that separates the cream from the crop. One such camera I found that can achieve ideal shooting in both times of the day is the Canon PowerShot G7 X.
Challenge the night
With the newly introduced beautiful bokeh effect, it is no wonder this camera sees night photos as no challenge. Most of us tend to like visiting places of great heights – Taipei 101 or Shanghai Tower anyone? Instead of taking the same old skyline shots like everyone else, why not challenge yourself to do one with the dazzling bokeh effect? It certainly will differentiate your photos from the rest!
Preview before photographing
This has to be the newest, most necessary function now. Never risk a bad selfie again with the 180 degrees tilt touchscreen LCD. You can even check yourself in the preview screen before clicking the shutter. You can also place yourself strategically for fun shots with the background objects or for gorgeous views with the scenery. Better photos await!
Ideal for advanced photographers
For advanced photographers who find DSLRs too troublesome to carry around but who want more than an entry Digital Compact Camera to use for travel/ causal shooting, this would be an excellent choice. The functions are similar to that of a DSLR so there will be little trouble adjusting to it.
Additionally the 31-point AF, prevalent in most DSLRs but rarely in Digital Compact Cameras, will give amateur photographers an opportunity to explore the function and adapt to an upgraded camera for higher quality photos.
Photo tips
DO make sure that whenever possible, the camera is on a stable surface before trying the bokeh effect if not it may cause a clumsy long exposure effect
