[Canon Rumors]

It’s finally happening, the Canon PowerShot  G7 X Mark III has appeared on dealer order sheets and will likely be announced alongside the PowerShot G5 X Mark II.
There have been no reliable specifications for the long rumoured and most popular G series PowerShot camera.

Not sure what they could offer that would tempt mark 2 owners to upgrade.

I am certain that one upgrade is a very nice III in place of a mediocre II for the current camera!

Dual Pixel autofocus.

 

[blackcoffee17]

From the leaks it looks like the same camera, same lens, still no EVF. Probably they will add 4K and some software tweaks and will be good for another 3 years.

Dual Pixel autofocus.

I think they use a Sony sensor and they have to put a Canon sensor for Dual Pixel Autofocus.

Maybe they could add GPS for those landscape photos but still this would impose a burden to its battery. But at least there would be a choice.

DPAF
BLE
CCAPI
GPS
4K
Microphone port

At this point I won't believe until it's released.

My comment was in hope that they use their own one inch sensor with Dual Pixel AF

What is CCAPI?

Only a mic input will make me sell my RX100 VI for it. Kind of salty with how they've been dragging their feet on so many things, but happy with my jump to other manufacturers and now feel less tied to any one camera maker as a result.

 

[Pascal Parvex]

Either they had massive problems in developing a Mark III, or the Mark II was a strong seller for all these years. I mean, the Mark II is really old for a compact camera.

DPAF it must have.

4x zoom w/ constant f/1.8

What is CCAPI?

Camera Control API. On-camera HTTP server with a well-defined publicly-available RESTful API.

Already implemented on EOS RP, Rebel SL3 and PowerShot SX70 HS.

(Not sure about SL3, though; haven't seen the offical announcement)

 

[blackcoffee17]

4x zoom w/ constant f/1.8

That would be too bold from Canon. The leaks show exactly the same lens.

 

[Kit.]

4x zoom w/ constant f/1.8

Unlikely to fit into my pocket, so no.

 

[OremLK]

Seems likely that the best case is for them to tweak the lens design and make it a little sharper, like Ricoh did with the GR III. Most likely though it's the same exact lens.

I would like to see a ruggedized G7X Mark III like the Olympus Tough TG-6 and pretty much the feature set of that Olympus + DPAF. Unfortunately the TG-6 has only a tiny sensor. TG-6 with 1" sensor would be really nice (doesn't necessarily need to have 20MPix, 12 MPix are fine).

What makes you think it's a leaked shot? Many times the current version is used as the image for a rumor.
