Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III

Canon’s most video-focused PowerShot camera yet

- Matt Golowczynski

Enthusiast compact cameras have come some way since Canon’s PowerShot G7 X was launched back in 2014. That model, together with its G7 X Mark II successor, was initially aimed at photographers looking to travel light without compromising on image quality, although both cameras came to be well regarded by amateur videographers too.

Capitalising on this, the G7 X Mark III gets a handful of video-centric technologies, although there have been plenty of other changes elsewhere. Highlights include a new 20.1MP 1-inch stacked sensor, together with a DIGIC 8 processing engine. The lens has been carried over from the G7 X Mark II, with a range of 24-100mm in 35mm terms, and a maximum aperture of f/1.8-2.8.
