$(document). ready(function() { SampleGalleryV2({"containerId":"embeddedSampleGallery_1925743708","galleryId":"1925743708","isEmbeddedWidget":true,"selectedImageIndex":0,"isMobile":false}) }); Canon has introduced its PowerShot G7 X Mark III, an enthusiast compact with a neat trick up its sleeve: live video streaming.
The Mark II has long been a favorite of vloggers, thanks to its compact size and tilting LCD, and now they can stream live video over YouTube at the push of a button.
The physical design of the Mark III is the same as its predecessor, though it's a bit lighter. While the lens remains the same as before (24-100mm equiv. F1. 8-2. 8), the camera has an all-new sensor: a 1" 20MP Stacked CMOS, which up until now was a Sony exclusive. Powered by Canon's Digic 8 processor, the G7 X Mark III can shoot Raws at a blazing 30 fps with AE/AF locked, though the burst rate drops down to 8. 3 fps if you want continuous AF.
The G7 X Mark III can capture 4K/30p video with no crop, and 1080 video at up to 120p
As before, the G7 X Mark III has a 3" touchscreen that tilts all the way up for selfies or vlogging. Canon has added an on-screen movie record button, in another nod to vloggers. The camera can capture 4K/30p video with no crop, and 1080 video at up to 120p. The Mark III can record vertical videos, though not for live streaming purposes. The camera has an external mic input, but no headphone socket. The customizable control dial around the lens is 'clicky', which you probably won't want to use when capturing video.
Battery life is modest, with a CIPA-rated number of 235 shots per charge: and that's without live streaming. The camera can be powered by a portable battery pack via USB-C though, which might make that low number less of an issue.
The PowerShot G7 X Mark III will be available in August for $749, with a choice of black or silver bodies.
