Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III - Vlogging Camera Review

Buy Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III Camera review — The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III Camera reviewed

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III is a compact point-and-shoot camera suitable for vlogging. It can capture good quality shots that remain mostly free of noticeable visual noise.

So your images shouldn’t appear very grainy, and you can also use this camera to live stream directly to YouTube, though we don’t currently test this.

It has a touch-sensitive screen that can get bright enough that you can still see it under direct sunlight. You can also use it to navigate its menu or flip it upwards to face you when the camera is pointed at you.

Unfortunately, its battery performance is poor and can frequently interrupt your shooting sessions by overheating the camera and shutting it down.

Our Verdict: Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III Camera

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III is satisfactory for sport and wildlife photography. It has an outstandingly high continuous shooting speed.

Which is good if you’re snapping shots of fast-moving subjects, and also has a handy silent shooting mode that can be helpful when snapping shots of easily spooked wildlife.

That said, it takes a while to clear its buffer, which doesn’t make it suitable for taking long bursts back-to-back. It may also struggle to keep moving subjects in focus, which can be disappointing.
