What Will Replace the PowerShot G7 X Mark III

[Canon Rumors]

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III has seen a massive resurgence in sales and interest over the last year. Canon restarted production a few months ago and has yet to reach consumer demand. The camera is consistently out of stock at major retailers in the US and abroad. The G7X III is still a […]

We’re certainly in great need of a compact GP-E2 replacement for the new hot shoe. Preferably powered by the camera and the size of the SpeedLite Transmitter ST-E10, which is tiny. Making it compatible with a “G7X Mark IV” would lead to a higher volume of sales, and hopefully a cheaper price.

The V1 was a total fail and selling poorly. It was one of the few products that didn't even sell out on their Black Friday sales for $650 (almost everything else did). I hope Canon learned from this and doesn't put another poor lens into the upcoming camera. 24-120mm f/2.0-3.9, like the G1X II has, would be something.

I love my Powershot V1 and I use it for almost all of my travel videos and social media as a primary or secondary camera. Even if it is a sales flop, the focal length is perfect and the compromises don’t bother me too much. It pretty much replaced my R6 for travel videos and social media.

However, it would really be complemented by a photo focused compact, such as a follow up to the G7 X III. I hope they retain the 100mm F/2.8 reach or bring it further to 120mm at F/2.8. With the larger sensor it seems hard to do that without a size compromise, but the wide aperture and long reach make it suitable for concert photos where larger cameras are not allowed.

I think 2 versions, with 2 different lens options are in order. The "24-70 f/2" equivalent would be well liked by many, but for me, I'd want a larger zoom range, say, 24-240 or something of that nature. Which would necessitate a variable aperture, say f/2 to f/4.5 or something like that. Of course, that would be a different market, but a reasonably fast 10X zoom with a decent aperture would really be nice for a vacation camera.

"I expect to see an EVF..."

I don't, because the G7 X doesn't have one.

Yes, I'm with you on the 10x option... my G3X is limping on, but desperately in need of retiring and replacing.
