Canon G7 X MK III is everyone right?

[@TechGearTalk]

⭐️ Best price for the Canon G7 X Mark III: geni.us/VBf7O (affiliate) What's up everyone?! I hope this review of the Canon G7 X Mark III was helpful. Did you like it? When I heard the specs, I was super excited to try this camera out, but some of the implementation and limitations were super disappointing. What did you think? Was there too much detail? Not enough? What did you like, and also, what did you not like? What would you like to see more of? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏

@@TechGearTalk My biggest issue with the MKIII was the autofocus, but this seems to be sorted with a firmware update. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to more reviews.

[@KINNZ94]

With firmware 1.3 the AF is quite ok. I purchased this camera for my Dad, and now I want this one for myself. Low light images are surprisingly good and so is the dynamic range and image quality in general. Perfect for kids events-indoor gig, prize giving, graduation, etc. If you think about it, what is an alternative that has a built-in ND filter, stabilisation, 24-100 f1.8-2.4? All of that in a truly portable package. :)

[@thenikhilray99]

I recently bought a used G7X II for $200 for my wife. I was planning to get a ZV-1 for myself as I do videos alot. But I was so impressed by G7X II that I got a G7X III for myself. 😂

[@drrkleut]

The Sony is nice when it works. I’ve had RX100iii, Rx100iv, and RX100V. No, I got them not because I’m rich and bought a newer model when it came out. I got a newer model because the old one started having problems. Always the flash was the first to stop working because it’s thin and fragile power supply lines broke. Then the autofocus followed. I always set the image quality fairly high, about 10M for each photo on average. The result was excellent even when the images were blown up to fill a 65” TV. Now all the photos I take look good on the camera but grainy on a 17” notebook, looking more like 2M photos. I checked the property of these photos and they all still occupied an average of 10M space each. I really like the overall performance of RX100 series over Canon cameras although I always prefer the color of the Canon. Now I realize that I have to start to argue why I have to buy a new Sony in less than two years. I’m going to get a Canon this time and see if it lasts longer. BTW check out Joe Rogan experience #1245.

[@stevegotwalt9386]

I had the first version of the G7X and loved it. I purchased the Mark III just for the mic input. I'm using Roland binaural mics and am very pleased with the sound. I agree with you on the focus issue. It takes a few seconds to adjust and I don't like that part. I have to pan super slow. Thanks for reviewing it.

I bought this camera and had to return it. 4K overheating. Super slow autofocus. Powering the camera for Livestream doesn’t work with a standard USB C. Didn’t perform as advertised. Really unfortunate, I was so excited to get this camera.

[@duket1449]

Thanks for the great review. I was one of those who anxiously waited for this camera release. Upon learning that there is no dual-pixel AF, I switched my interest to the M100 as a compact camera for travel. Granted, this is not as compact as the G7X, but it gets close to point-and-shoot size with the 22mm pancake lens. And if needed, I can use another lens since it's an ILC. So I traded off the size for the AF and APS-C sensor. There's no EVF on M100 but that is the same with G7X. The buttons and dials are kept to a minimum, but Canon's interface is so intuitive that it's extremely simple to change aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and exposure compensation. All on the touch screen. Even with the recent M200 release with the eye AF and 4K features, I'm still happy with my M100 for what it brings, which I bought used since it's been out for a while now. That's another bonus in terms of price.

I think I answered this somewhere else. i was referencing the overheating, I recorded for 30 minutes (it stopped) started recording again for 30 minutes (stopped again) started recording again (this was an overheating test). If you have an external recorder, you can record for much longer because the camera isn't really "recording" just passing the signal.

[@anthonysmith5979]

A bit late but I just bought one, I have a few cameras including drone cameras, disappointed that the volume isn't shown on the screen when recording 4K and my M50 is the same, you just don't know if your wireless system is actually working until you play back. Also the playback volume is quiet and there is no volume control over that. $1,100 here in Australia with a spare battery. The oem charger took 2 hrs to charge one battery and when charged it was quite hot, not a good idea to use till it's cooled down. haven't properly used yet, I like the focus rings ability to change camera perimeters as well with out fiddling with the touch screen. have ordered a screen protector and bag that clips on your belt. Somewhere for my Saramonic transmitter to clip on would be good with out extra attachments, In all it looks to be great. Regards Tony From Australia

[@RogerZoul]

No DPAF and overheating are the real negatives. 24p missing is so big deal. Anyone who says it is is just a pretender. No DPAF is a show stopper for me...I don't like the overheating because that could destroy the camera, but I don't have a problem keeping the recording time under 12 minutes. I only do short segments of video at one time anyway. Thanks for the review because you helped me avoid a camera that should be able to do better (but not having 24p is a non-issue).

[@TechGearTalk]

Agree with you, lack of DPAF is the real issue. Good link that you sent - I was aware of the history and the standards (sorry, links get blocked). I still prefer the look and added motion blur of 24 when I want that "look". I shoot my videos at 30 so it doesn't matter to me for youtube. I just didn't understand the reason for removing it. Overheating was also not a "real" issue for me because like you, I don't record clips that are so long (with this camera). Super appreciate the knowledge and insight you bring to the community 🙏

[@abuanwp]

People should stop mentioning the dual-px-AF by sony because that technology existed in rx100m7, A6400 and A9. Therefore every camera you have used aside from those sony cameras did not use the dual pixel AF and what difference did you miss or noticed? I have the rx100m3 without the dualAF yet it was fast and responsive, I have the A6400 now but the dualAF is not really a big deal and not really a leap forward for my daily use. By the way, G7xm2 has better jpeg out of cam vs my RX100m3, so this G7xm3 must be way better but the images from rx100m3 are still very good to use even after 5yrs in my PC.

[@laurenstrand4227]

@TechGearTalk have you retested this camera since the latest firmware updates? I would be curious of your feedback of the improvements. I think they at least added 24fps mode?

[@1dir951]

@Tech Gear Talk Glad to see another manufacturer phasing out 24-fps. I can't imagine why a professional would use a circa 1927 frame rate chosen to support audio recording on celluloid film. Presumably "experts" should know that "cinematic quality" has little to do with framerate and is a combination of lighting, framing, angle, sound quality, editing, story-flow, setting, surroundings, exposure, color-science, and other non-framerate factors related to the final goal of the clip. Also, an expert should know that KZbin does not employ Telecine 3:2 pulldown as streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Disney, et-al. provide for smoothing out 24-fps movies. Shouldn't you know that outside of a 24-fps or 120-fps monitor, standard 30/60-fps monitors (I use a 60-fps gaming monitor) have a math problem with 24-fps? Sadly, your 24-fps videos will have jitter/judder.

[@TechGearTalk]

I shoot at 30 so this doesn't matter to me. Many others prefer to shoot at 24 because they like the softer look. Some of my friends shoot at 60 because they like that look. None of this really matters because it's a matter of preference. What matters (or what would matter to me if I was Canon) is the number of clients you'll lose for removing a feature some people want (from your entry-level cameras only - mind you) with no explanation or up side.

[@TechGearTalk]

Appreciate you sharing Jay!

[@panzerschreckpete]

10 minute video limit, no 24/25 fps mode, no dual point AF - may as well get a decent SL2/200d kit with additional ND filters for the same or better price - plus as a content creator and streamer - the LCD screen on the SL2 is far more practical. So many negatives that outweigh many if not all of the pros - and really I can probably get sufficient 4K capability from my osmo pocket anyway - as I don't need 4K much right now

[@TechGearTalk]

Good points. There is 25fps by the way and it has a clean HDMI out which would allow you to record for a very long time. I do like the fully articulating screen on the SL2. The SL3 would be a good match because it has similar frame rates (except for 120fps) and a clean hdmi out. I'm not sure where this camera fits in.

[@panzerschreckpete]

@@TechGearTalk for me, the SL3 gets eliminated because of local pricing - it's almost AUD$300 more than getting an SL2 - I can live with the noisy HDMI of the SL2 - my overlays in OBS cover up 95% of the extraneous info, Because the Osmo pocket is actually a huge asset for my needs, that allows me to focus on gainingexperience with an entry level DSLR again

Hello, Thanks for this great and detailed review… precise, informative as usual… I would like to share my opinion on Digital Compact Cameras with you. 1.- Line of products: Camera companies should review their line of products to stop so much options, ... Why a G7X III and a G5XII? One with a viewfinder, the other one ... not. Keep one with all relevant features (EVF, Headphones and Mic Jacks) and discontinue the other one. The goal of a compact is to offer all in one body. 2.- Sensor size: Probably it is time to drop the 1/2.3”, unless you are Nikon with the very specialized bridges: #P950, #P1000, means you are stuck with: Sensor Size, Optics and massive focal range vs reasonable body size. I had a lot of fun with my old 1/2.3” canon bridge, I did photography stuffs I could not do my Galaxy. The minimum of sensor size for compact should be 1”. 1” sensor should shut down the false debate "Smartphones are better than Compact cameras". 2.- Minimum of features: Cameras companies should learn from this smartphone trend as well in term of accessibility, liberties. Like all digital camera, especially compact should have a touchscreen. Why the last P950 don’t have touchscreen? All compact should have a minimum of features to make them relevant today. You have a lot in one body plus the optics, somewhere smartphones can’t go. Some compacts (point and shoot, advanced compact- sensor >= 1”) could miss one or two options (hot shoe,…) or have less Focal length range. The purpose of a Bridge camera is to really offer DSLR and Mirrorless features in a body with fixed lens. If I have to buy a bridge… I will expect to have a crazy hybrid camera giving me a bunch of features for stills and videos. Touchscreen (articulated or tilting, but a real touchscreen for focusing, menu), hot shoe, Flash, 24/25 400/500/600 of FL (a bit of wide and a bit of telephoto), EVF, Focus Peaking/Stacking/Bracketing - Post Focus, JPG and RAW, 4K video, 4K photo / Raw Burst mode, Headphones and Mic jacks, Card slot on the side, Mode + Comp + Drive dials, Switch Video/Photo to features set separately, no more 1/2.3” but a 1” with 20 MP,… App for edit photo in cameras, Wi-fi, Bluetooth,… Photography is more than selfie-graphy. Camera companies should offer products that could attract smartphone photography amateurs as well. But those people love their smartphones, compacts should be able to offer those “liberties” as well. One thing for sure, some consumers will realize they need specialized devices dedicated to photography (Digital cameras) if they want to do photography beyond what their smartphones can offer them.

good review thanks.

[@theirishoutdoorcook1207]

Hi could you help me out. What are the best settings for outdoor and wood settings?

[@hyuriaustria4616]

Hi! Do you think this is a good cheaper alternative for m6 mii in terms of travel photography (particularly because of the built-in lens)? Or is the m6 mii still a better camera? I don’t own any dslr & wish better photo than my iPhone.

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi. Well, the m6mkii is a better camera all around, but the g7xmkiii is SO SMALL that it's really easy to take it with you. If you want the best quality -> m6mkII, most portable->g7xmkiii I hope this makes sense.

[@herve-vadimlani9583]

Great video man, thanks! I am still hesitating between the mark ii and mark iii though, as I am mainly interested in having a good pocket camera that I could have with me all the time to shoot pictures and videos. However, I am not interested in recording myself as I don't do vlog. In that case, is the AF such on issue? Is the mark ii enough? Thanks

[@TechGearTalk]

The mark ii has been "enough" for years. The mark iii auto focus was fixed with the last upgrades, but if you are sure you won't want to record better audio, and don't need the latest processor and features, grab a mark ii. What's the price difference?

[@grahamthompson6154]

Brilliant presentation, thank you. I’ve now decided that this camera is on my shopping list. Am I right in saying that Canon have overcome the auto focus problem by installing new software on up to date G7 X MK lll cameras?

I should have mentioned that I am more interested in “stills “ than I am in “ video”.

What an amazing review. Thank you so much for this detailed review!! I had no idea that there was another video option instead of 4k. I am debating on getting this camera or the Sony zv-1 for a lot of traveling and special events I plan to attend this year. Thank you for such a wonderful video and your honesty!

[@RaySuesTravelChannel]

Nice informative video. Thanks. I've seen so many disappointments with the camera e.g. limited 4k video length, overheating, poor auto focus and only a flip screen. Canon have missed a trick with this camera. Nothing I've seen changes my mind about buying the M50. One question I have is are we likely to see a newer version of the M50 anytime soon at or around the M50 price point? Any inside scoop on that? Cheers. Ray and Sue's Travel Channel.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you for the feedback. We are likely to see an updated m50 (no insight though). I need to check out the m6 mark ii also. The m50 is such a good value.

Hi would you buy the mark 2 over this camera?

Hi Doug. That would depend on the price difference and my needs. Unlikely though, because I always want an audio jack. If you’re taking pics only, this will give you better quality.

Hi,out of all the people that I asked questions too your are only the second person to answer. Thanks for the help. I am going with the mark 2 because of the cost and this is my first camera in 12 years and it is a good step up to learn how to shoot with manual mode unless you have another one that you can suggest. I am taking photos and I want to do some video and I am trying to stay around $1000.00 all in.

Depends on what you mean by “continuous video recording” both cameras have a 30 minute internal recording limit. Here is what I do about the battery kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioDTpHqVn9F4mLc g7xiii has a clean hdmi out so technically you could use an external recorder

If you are buying a vlogging camera in 2019/2020, which one will you gonna grab? Canon G7X markii or Canon G7X markiii and why? I want to buy a good vlogging camera but I’m literally confused. 😓 Need help..

[@TechGearTalk]

Good question. What’s the price difference where you live?

[@cabloria9101]

Tech Gear Talk around $160.. I’m in Dubai..

[@TechGearTalk]

So for me, if I was picking between these two, I would get the mkiii because I have better image quality and the option to use an external microphone for a relatively small increase in cost.

[@cabloria9101]

Tech Gear Talk Thanks for your immediate response. I really appreciate it. 😘 This is the reason why I am confused. I want the external mic input and the 4K but I also heard that markiii overheats, have a slow auto focus and not as good as markii in low light.. 😬

[@TechGearTalk]

If you actually want 4k, I wouldn't get this camera (but that also means you can't get the mkII). Is that really a requirement? If so, I would probably go with something like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWnTqHSwotl4h5I or this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIevlmx8hbqJbdU let me know what you think

[@BreTTCZ]

Hello, great review, thanks. I'm interested in buying this camera for travelling and occasional street photography. So my question is - in the aperture mode, can you adjust the minimum shutter speed limit while using the AUTO ISO mode? I own two Canon R6 and these cameras are capable of doing so (of course they are). Thanks for the answer.

[@MegaMilez]

Great video. Quick couple of questions when comparing this to the Sony RX100 VII. Which can produce better shallow bokeh? Which would be your pick for vlogging (gaming/travel/cooking)? Thanks!

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks! The Sony RX100VII is the most powerful compact camera I've ever used. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppq5mq2wr66ge7c It's almost twice the price, so if that's not an issue, and you want a compact camera, that's the one to use. Better auto focus, better 4k, slow motion with autofocus, better in low light. Hope this helps. Welcome to the channel!

Does it overheat while recording 1080p too? Can I use it as web cam recorder constantly if I provide it with constant power charger?

Hi there. If when you says "Web Cam Recorder" you mean web cam, then yes, because the camera isn't really recording, it's just passing the signal. Hope that helps. Also check out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3_VnpJuj7enhtE

Great review! I'm quite new to this area but have been looking into the g5x mark ii vs the g7x mark iii. My gf and I are looking to both use it, but our needs are a bit different. She will be using it more for still photography of scenes, food, and general means (but not of herself/people so much). Meanwhile I'm more into video along with using it as a stream cam as well. Would you recommend one over the other? Or another option altogether in the compact area? The sony rx100 vii is amazing too but a bit too pricey..
