Yes, PowerShot cameras still exist, though it's an area Canon does appear to be as serious about anymore for obvious reasons. We're getting a lot of small updates in the rare new G models.
The Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark III will be no different as far as how big of an update it will be over its predecessor.
Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark III Specifications:
- 20.1mp
- DIGIC 8
- 4x zoom
- 4K @ 30p
- FHD @ 120p
Does it feel familiar? It should, this is basically the PowerShot G7 X Mark III with a slower lens and a slightly smaller form factor.

Nope! :p
Plot twist: this is the 1D X Mark III sensor!
However, G9X being the lowest end of these cameras it is no surprise there isn't anything new.
I don't expect to much of this rumored one O.o!
WTF!?!? It sounds like the camera is coming in 5yrs.
What? :rolleyes: Your comment makes zero sense.
...The G9X 'being the lowest end of these cameras' may be true, but only because it is the smallest and lightest of the bunch.
If the price was right I would buy one...it is truly pocketable.
I have not had any problems, autofocus or otherwise, with my G5X II, nor did I with the G7X II before it.
Alternatively, he is thinking of buying a Lumix model that is readily available. The pros and cons of it relative to the Canon lie in the lens. It has a 15X superzoom, but is over two stops slower (depending upon focal length). I know that would be a bad choice for me, since for my travel pictures I need the speed and don't need telephoto beyond the Canon's 120mm. But I don't know that is true of him. I told him that whatever he decides, I'll be glad to help him before he travels. Obviously, I will be more help with a camera with which I have taken thousands of pictures than with one I have never seen before. And if he rents, he can always come over and we can use my camera for a photo outing (on campus or on the lake or just gardens and parks in my neighborhood, or all of the above.
