Canon PowerShot G7x II, more power with the DIGIC 7

Canon announces the new compact PowerShot G7x Mark II, an evolution of the previous model that offers the same 1.0 CMOS sensor "and 20.1 megapixels of the Mark I, however, improving ergonomics and performance thanks to the new image processor DIGIC 7.


The vast computing power increases the focusing speed (improved recognition of the scene) and to manage a burst of 24 frames at 8 fps rate in RAW format in One Shot mode H (5.4 fps in Servo mode H) - a marked improvement over the 6.5 to 1.2 fps of the previous model.

Moreover, thanks to the greater computing power, the RAW is now 14-bit instead of 12, and the native ISO range (125 to 12,800) can be expanded to 25,600.

Also significantly refined ergonomics, which now benefits a handle more pronounced in non-slip material, a front bezel that can be stepless or "jerky" and a rear display support mechanism for them to tilt even 45 ° downwards, over that of 180 ° upward.

The goal is the same 4.2x zoom equivalent to 24-100mm f / 1.8-2.8 already seen on the previous model and the new G5 X. It is stabilized, integrates a 9-blade diaphragm and focus from 5cm.
The video recording is always full HD, but also video functions have been improved with the introduction of time-lapse function. Finally, improved control in-camera image, with a new dedicated to color, contrast and sharpness, and autonomy, which rises from 210 to 265 shots with the same battery.
PowerShot G7 X Mark II will be available from May at suggested retail price of 699.99 euros.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
