I live at the beach, so catching stunning sunsets is a regular occurance. The G7 X Mark III gives a nice true to life touch when it comes to colors, much more so than my Huawei P30 Pro Leica setup.
The new V1.1.0 firmware update gives it a better C-AF now, though it's still not perfect. With a 24p firmware update coming as well, the G7 X Mark III is nicely on its way to redeem its PowerShot G-series vlogging cult status the original 2 managed to establish.
Do wish the G7 X Mark III would've gotten the G5 X Mark II's new lens (with an extra 20mm on the tele end, yet offering the same f/1.8-2.8 sensitivity, opposed to Sony RX100 Mark VI and VII that traded in sensitivity (now f/2.8-4.5 quickly falling off from wide) for range). I'm used to my P30 Pro now which has a wide angle, super wide angle, 5x optical and 10x hybrid which is remarkably flexible for such a small device. Tried zooming in to see a three-master sailing yacht more up close and the G7 X Mark III wasn't able to give me a more detailed look than my eyes provided, whilst my P30 Pro managed to give me more to go on for me to identify it as the 'Black Pearl' which apparently is regarded the largest sailing boat and won this year's 'sailing yacht of the year' award (so, wishing the G7 X Mark III had a bit more range, it's great for a vlogger who documents things from his/her perspective; just... I expected a little more flexibility to make it more suitable for a bit of filmmaking/photography). Makes you think if compact cameras perhaps need to follow the smartphone ways. Surely we've seen the Light L16 going about it in a similar fashion, but that was more a (2015 proof of) concept, than a device actual ready for mass market; but it started an importent trend and approach that's now ready for primetime. Though, multiple 1" sensors might be a bit of a fuss on a compact camera. Maybe it can have a revolver-style swap mechanism for the lenses and make the sensor stabilized opposed to the optics. Anyways...
