Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III - a digital camera with quasi-system camera features

If you don't take the fixed lens into account, you won't notice much difference between the Canon PowerShot G5 X III and a system camera in the same price range. Of course, compact size is the difference (and for many, the advantage) of a digital camera, but in terms of technology, the PowerShot G7 X III is very impressive. The G7 X III is a very handy travel camera when small size is a priority.

The camera is equipped with a universal 8.8-36.8mm lens with 4.2x zoom. The focal length in cinema size is equivalent to 24-100 mm. The lens has a surprisingly good aperture of f/1.8-2.8. The G7 X compact camera uses a 1-inch, 20.1-megapixel CMOS sensor as the sensor. It also features a four-step Intelligent Optical Image Stabilizer for ultra-sharp images and stable video capture at hand.

The Canon PowerShot G7 X III is also ideal for the more demanding photographer, with full manual controls and RAW file format shooting. With Canon's fast and reliable autofocus system and up to 30fps Raw burst mode, even the most demanding situations can be captured. A variety of automatic and semi-automatic settings make the camera a pleasure to use, even for beginners.

As is typical for Canon, the PowerShot G7 X performs admirably not only in stills but also in video. The camera is capable of 4K resolution at up to 30 frames per second. In addition, FullHD resolution allows for 120fps slow-motion video. With video capabilities and a front-facing screen, the camera is also well suited for social media content creation. The camera's Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity makes wireless transfer of images and videos to mobile devices fast and effortless.
