G1X MIII is still a fantastic camera. But could do with a replacement - updated sensor, better resolution VF, updated lens, and some tweaks on the menus.

I mean, obviously it's not "OLED TV in a dark room" kind of viewing experience. But as long as I can see it well enough to determine composition and focus point, that's quite enough, and I've never had problems with either aspect. With a "primitive" optical viewfinder like in the G15 you can't tell poop about focus and even the framing is inaccurate. A good EVF is of course a different thing, in turn.This is one of my life's mysteries. How can photographers use (and are happy to do so) the rear LCD? And even focus in sunlight?
PS: I don't even need glasses, but still...
Skux laid it out pretty well. For me the biggest advantage is the lens, as the G7X's would be much more suited to what and how I shoot. Not that I'm buying one given the dated AF, but that's why I'd love an updated model.

Do we know at what pixel density DPAF becomes impractical (or even non-functional)? This would be by far the highest pixel density DPAF sensor around with an actual 40 MP in a type 1 format. Do we know how the phase detect works on the later model RX 10/RX 100 cameras work? Does Sony use split pixels or somehow use two adjacent pixels for phase detect?

I agree with you.
One thing that people want/like is a built in flash. The G7xmkIII has a variable aperture f1.8-2.8, while the v1 is f2.8-4.5, making the G7x mkIII stronger on the wide end, whereas the v1 has better aperture performance on the telephoto side. The v1's ISO is also superior due to its larger sensor. Still, people like the weight and compact size of the G7x mkIII. I'd rather have a v1 myself between the two. I went with the R50v due to its interchangeable lens options.
It's possible Canon is working on a new G series, but for now if you don't want a v1/R50v, the G7x mkIII should sell well for the point and shoot crowd.

Life mystery lol haha
I got used to it as a owner of the M1 ...I took that camera everywhere, including snowstorms. Yes I had to lie on the ground quite a few time for my low level wide shots, but that's no difference than with the old 5d3 and 6d, etc. TBH if these screens were so tough to use in the sun, then they wouldn't make them.
I didn't have a flippy screen until the M50, whichis still in use . And now I have an s9 with flippy.
PS - anything is possiblllleeee (gif)

On the B&H website, there are 19 reviews dated 9/25/2025, so B&H must have received a new allocation from Canon.
