![]() Producing stunning 5.7K video or 18MP photo. It shoots, as the name suggests, 360 degree video. To add to the variety of camera shots for my bike travel videos. This is a exciting camera that I am thinking about getting. You need to make sure if you get this camera that only some SD cards will work with the 4K.īut overall it is tough camera and works great a bicycle tour, my bike travelling friend had one and he used it for daily vlogging in Japan, and it held up very well. Which the G7X does not but they both do have the pop up flash. This camera does have a pop up electronic view finder. You can film with up to 920 fps which is way to slow, and you would be better of using the setting down for nice slow motion shots. The auto focus on this camera is very fast and takes photos quickly when you click the button, which always helps when you need to capture those moments quickly while riding. And I don’t mind the 1080 HD it looks nice enough for my YouTube videos. ![]() For me personally 4K would be a mess for my current Macbook air 2013 that I use to edit my videos on, as it takes a whole lot longer to render videos and 4K would slow it down considerably. If you are one for shooting some very crisp video footage this might be a better option then the G7X. The main difference with this camera is that it has 4K video capabilities. This Sony camera as you can probably tell is very similar to the G7X as they are competitive cameras. They ability o whip out the camera from your pocket and capture that moment without delay is critical for me and many other when bike touring. Overall for the size of the camera and my experience with the G7X it is a great option if you want great quality, almost similar to a DLSR but without the bulky body. But it is comforting to know that Canon have a update which is said to fix this problem. This resulted in terrible reviews, I was considering not getting it because of such the poor auto focus out of the box. ![]() There have been some recent problems with the Mark III and its auto focus but Canon did release a firmware update that fixes this problem. The Mark II and Mark III have a body update compare to the first G7X with a finger grip design compared to the flat face of the first G7X. It also has the ability to live stream straight to YouTube too. However, the updated sensor for fast shooting and uncropped 4k video are some updates. Much of the Mark III body and lens if very similar to the previous Mark II. Audio is everything when it comes to filming videos, now that we have the ability to connect a external mic directly to the camera is a great touch. Which for those who create videos is amazing. One of the new updates with the Mark III is that Canon have introduced a Mic port. As it has the flip facing screen which allows you to see yourself in frame and in focus so your are not filming blind. This camera is great if you want to use it for vlogging and shooting video of yourself talking and giving ‘talking head’, narration. Since then Canon have made a Mark II and they just released the new G7X Mark III which I cannot wait to get my hands on. The camera I have is the G7X first edition. The G7X camera line is a powerhouse group of compact cameras, that produce some quality images and video. But my personal favourite and the camera I use at the moment for recording my adventures to put on YouTube is the Canon G7X. I feel I have some idea as to which are better for bike adventures compared to others. I have used many different camera for my bike touring and bikepacking adventures. And easily retrieved for when you need to capture that moment quickly while pedalling. My filter if you like, for choosing the cameras for this list, had to be that they were compact or small enough in body size, so that they are able to be stowed away in your pocket or handlebar bag. These are the cameras that other bike travellers use and recommend. Many of these cameras in this post will be more then enough for those needs. Maybe you don’t need a camera to vlog everyday of your life and are just looking for something that is going to capture some video and photos of your pictures, so you can capture those memories. For me I need a camera that stands up to the daily abuse I put it under when touring. As I often use my camera everyday it gets a lot of use. And it is my dream to continue travelling the world by bicycle and sharing my adventures. I love sharing my bike adventures with my audience on YouTube on my channel. But which camera you get does depend on what your requirements are. Having a compact camera that provides great quality is ideal when it comes to using a camera on a bikepacking or bike touring trip.
