A few patents showing optical formula for lenses with 1″ sensors have come to light. We expect to see some PowerShot cameras announced ahead of CES 2017 in January.</p>
<p>We haven’t received word on which PowerShot cameras will see a replacement announced, but we think at least one “G” camera will see an update.</p>
<p>The patents are after the break.</p>

So does this mean a G7x III is not likely for CES 2017 (if at all)?

Since the G7X series, and G3X/G5X series (for that matter) are based on Sony sensors, and they're using the RX100 II/III series sensor now, which those fabs are fully functional last I read, but the newer fabs, think new 1" sensors are having problems post earthquake, there may be a delay on update for the G7X/G3X/G5X, unless, Canon goes away from Sony 1"'ers, which they could.

That is true I forgot about the sony sensor in this.
No rx100 V yet and constant delaying of the DL cameras might be some indication yes.
