Unfortunately, it’s not all positive- as there are a few key areas where the camera is dramatically underperforming.
Throughout these video tests with the Canon G7x Mark iii, I share my thoughts on its strengths and shortcomings. This will include the mic input, the 120 fps slow motion, the auto-focus, digital image stabilization, 4k, and more.
I’m still sorting things out and running experiments with this camera so please remember that this video is the VERY first day of hands-on use. I do think there is room for improvement and potential workarounds to some of the issues so if you’d like to learn more about how to BEST work with the Canon G7x mk iii, be sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell for updates.

Thanks for reviewed....agreed for some AFocus hope Canon will see this and get more update coming.
We need reviews like this to identify the issues and know what to expect. And hopefully Canon will fix it. Appreciate your honest feedback and helpful info. 👍
Hi Alicia, been enjoying your videos for a few months. :). Thanks for sharing your Mk III thoughts. We recently started our YT journey and decided to go with a Mk II refurb, and now I am so glad!
Maybe once they push a couple firmware updates we'll revisit, but for me, that lack of 24fps is a real killer. I love shooting at 24fps!
Thank you so much for your videos! You have such a pleasant presence to watch. :). Take care!
Thanks for your comment and for enjoying the videos! The Mk II sounds like a good decision for now. Hopefully, Canon will find a way to resolve this and add back in the 24fps. Good luck with your YT journey!
Well produced! Your daughter is precious and adorable! I’m more of a global business traveler, so I opted for the G5x Mark ii. Love it for photography. Longer zoom and EVF were my deciding factors. Keep up the fine work!
Thanks so much! Yes the G5x is a good one. It's all about what is right for exactly what you're doing 😃Happy global business traveling!
Thank you so much for the honest review! I love your channel!
Aww thanks so much for your comment! 😄
We returned 2 canon mark 3s due to the auto focus. We thought the first one we bought was just a faulty one but the second one did the same. The camera shop tested both and couldn’t believe how bad the auto focus was. We ended up swapping it for another mark2.
uwooow G7X Mark III already on hand! I'm still waiting for it to come to Indonesia
please see also my video
thankyou
Wowww thank you for sharing. I watch many reviews about this camera and l was very exciting about 4k. l didn’t realize how difficult about auto-focus will be like this...now l’m 50-50%
Your daughter is adorable 🥰
Hi Alicia, My wife is a starter in vlogging and I am conviniently handed over to chose a vlogging camera for her with good sound quality. Was checking out g7x mk2 and it fits all but an external focus mic connector. Was thinking of mk3 and looks like it should fit the needs if the af programming feature is patch provided down the line. Did you happen to hear back on your query from Canon. Loved your review by the way. It's a no nonsense, crisp and direct view. Value of time
Omg! Your daughter is so adorable! Thanks for your honest review! I was ready to buy this camera but now I'm reconsidering it!
Awww thank you! She's going to start vlogging when the G7x Mark V is released 😊
Very informative.
Thanks dear.
Wow I was watched many videos about G7x Mark3, but I like your video so much.👍❤️. Humm and it is really not easy to buy the good one... 😊. Thanks for the information and nice to meet you hier.
Today I have joined you..you r sooo polite..& finally I am going to purchase canon g7 mark 3..& your daughter is super cute
Great vid! Since this video, they've come out with an update for the autofocus, plus later on, they will add 24p recording.
Yep, I made a video about the firmware update th-cam.com/video/bDo3EAGOMgU/w-d-xo.html
Wow..here it is. My initial tests and THOUGHTS about the Canon G7x Mark iii. Let me know what you think!
Great review, I'll stick to the Mark ii. Like you said as a back up camera you don't want issues with 4K & Auto focus. Maybe if they update the firmware soon but until then the Mark ii is the best choice. Thanks for the upload!
Great review on Mark III and thanks for the honest opinions on the pluses and minuses about the camera. I was thinking about buying it but I may hold on for now and improve my skills on Mark II and M50 :-)
Great review! Question. What is the max iso you can shoot video at? The mark ii would go to 3200 iso in 60fps but switching to 24fps would allow you to shoot at iso 6400. Not that 24p is removed, I'm very curious if the iso can go that high or not
Awesome job
Thank you for sharing!
Video Test Canon G7x Mark iii is wonderful. I intend to buy a suitable camera for my vlogs. Thank for your information!
Sure thing! So glad it was helpful 😄
Well I lucked up on your channel today, the first shot of you talking about the canon g7x mark iii your colors where amazing what camera were you using? You and your daughter together are adorable
Thanks Shazamm! 😃I color grade all of my footage using my own custom LUTS, you can grab them here amae.tv/shop/
Wow awesome video 😎
Thanks for the video, Alysha. I feel the same way you do. I'm very conflicted.
The mic input is a game changer. Yes, onboard mic isn't bad but not being able to have clean audio from a distance means I have to travel with another camera.
Mine gave me the overheat sign in 4k at 3 minutes. That sucks. But honestly that doesn't make it worse than the mark 2...and least with this one I can get 3 minutes of 4k clips. Not enough but more than nothing which is what the mark 2 had.
Regarding the 120, I played with it last night for about 30 minutes. Now I know what to expect, I actually like the implementation alot better than the gh5. At least with the canon, you have AF to set up the shot (if not while recording.) So you tap, press the shutter to focus (which when not recording is blazing fast), and hit record. With the gh5, you have no AF at all so you have to manually focus which takes forever (it also disables IBIS and audio.) The gh5 is sharper in 120 but it's also a much bigger camera and doesn't have the canon colors.
I also like little things better like it will record for 30 minutes at 1080/60 vs 17 minutes with the Mark 2.
It's honestly a pretty incredible, powerful camera and everyone is dumping on it (rightfully) because the continuous AF is so slow. Such a stupid mistake to make. Sony isn't a solution for me because the lens isn't fast enough for shooting indoors and the menu's confuse the crap out of me.
Honestly, sometimes I wonder if these camera companies just aren't interested in winning this game. I do not understand all these self inflicted limitations.
Thank you for a great video. Your kid is adorable.
This is THE BEST hands-on review of the G7X MIII I have seen (and I've seen alot lol)! This camera is such a disappointment. It sounded so amazing on paper but once everyone got their hands on it and found out Canon crippled alot of the "upgrades" it really opened my eyes to how truly "perfect" the MARK II really was, at least for my video needs. I'm going to stick with my Mark II and for any slow-mo shots I'll just whip out my GOPRO (it's so tiny I don't mind carrying it around in my pocket for backup & B-Roll).
Btw, your daughter is super adorable and so polite!! ☺
Haha polite yes! We taught her that 😊Thanks for the compliments and I'm glad you enjoyed the review! It really is a disappointment. I think the G7x II is a good thing to stick with and yes the GoPro is great for supplemental slow mo shots!
Mark ii is great! I started mental health vlogging with it and no issues so far
Good Feeling to watch
*I think I may have found a solution to the focus issues. Set the camera to macro mode and leave it there, even if you aren't shooting a macro. It will still be able to focus far away and normally, but seems to pop to focus to my face easier. Give it a try. It seems to be working for me but hopefullly Canon updates the firmware soon to fix the issue*
Mediahound works for me
Interesting!! Thanks for sharing. I will definitely try this 🙏🏼
thanks for specs. amazing
Hey!! I would love to see a video G7X Mark 3 vs Canon M50. Which is better? I have the M50 but miss my G7X due to size 😩
Think Media recommends the M50.
HI! I do have a two-part series on the G7x ii vs the M50.. and I can safely say that due to the focus the M50 is better than the Mk iii. The Mk ii does have its benefits though! You can check it out here 😄th-cam.com/video/Ifbki4VSQZQ/w-d-xo.html
Your daughter is absolutely gorgeous! Her eyes....wow! 🤩 Anyway I cannot decide between the Mark ii and the Mark iii. I guess it all depends if I can take a photo while shooting video as that’s what I tend to do whilst travelling.
Cool colour
Nice video I was thinking about getting the same camera but it is to expensive
nice vids!!
I thought cannon has option for "unlimited focus" that primarily built for shooting landscape, so I think its also good for shooting slow motion as everything will be on focus, I know this will sacrifice bit of quality but makes the video looks better than blurry on the right moment.
the audio idea for filming the family is a wonderful idea, thanks for sharing...... and for costing me 200 pounds in rode gear lol! I was also looking to pick this camera up, but after all the videos talking about its faults, I think I'll stick with my mk 2 and use external audio recorders when needed. I also shoot travel vlogs with my family, great video!
Haha I'm glad I inspired you! I think 200 pounds is fully worth it to clearly document the adorable voices of our little ones 😊Sticking with the Mk II is probably a good idea for now.
No estoy intentando comprar camara ni tengo un canal en TH-cam. Pero su belleza me hipnotizó y me hizo darle click al video y verlo completico. Me enamoré!!
Same problem with the autofocus and it did overheated a view times at 4K
Great review. Mine overheated at 7:30 minute mark and wouldn’t let me start another 4K video for 10 minutes. Another this I noticed is I shot an entire clip in vertical mode with out even knowing. No indication on the camera that it was in vertical mode.....odd
I really hope that firmware updates can rectify these problems especially the AF. I really do want to get this, but I'll be holding off until any changes arises.
Hmmm I’m feeling like I should just save my money and get the Mark II at the new lower price 🤷🏻♀️ thanks for sharing!
Ordered my Mark II already after countless reviews saying the autofocus is pure trash lol (money saved!)
Weirdly the Mark II focus was better
@@HayArday Smart 👍🏼
It's really not a bad idea!! I'm thinking about getting a fresh Mark II (just because mine is beat up) It's really still a great camera!
I agree since I just tested out my G7 x Mark II in a trip to Europe and it worked well. So I may not be upgrading it to Mark III yet as I already spent $649 and don't have to record in 4K yet. Just my 10 cents.
Mk3 is not worth the Upgrade neither the money from a mk2 imho. All tests ive seen were not very impressive. Af is slower, not reliable as the mk2. See other vids. I love my mk2 and ill Stick with it until they do dual pixel or eye af on a compact. My opinion? Save the money and get the mk2. Better bang for the buck!
Looks like the G5XII has a little better autofocus and longer record time without overheating. No mic input but could be something to check out.
I had the g7x and g7x II. I can't believe they still haven't solved the auto focus issues by g7x iii 🤦♂️
I have the mark III and love it my auto focus is perfect
Keep at it
Thanks for honesty,. And I am not feel bad in that I can't afford to the New GX... I can wait for the upgrade. Did enjoy your daughter model. As always "A sweet heart". Now I have to go to mainland and visit. Aloha
Visit my granddaughters..
wow thanks for sharing
nice video, thank for share
so do you recommend me just getting the ii instead of the iii ? I just want to use it for regular vloggin no slow motion or fast forward just for regular old blogging. I just want a good quality camera
In your opinion which is better to buy Canon G7X mark 3 or sony ZV-1 and thanks alot
I’m going to hold on to my money for now since the G7X3 just ain’t ready for Prime Time. Auto Focus is just too important. We all want our cameras to make imaging miracles and frankly most of them (higher end)deliver! In any event when it come to Alicia, she always delivers! Thank you once again, Alicia and Ella Bear for your valuable insight and inspiration!
And thank you Paul for yours! Canon is definitely not ready for Prime Time... although Ella Bear might be 😆
OH my goodness. What a letdown!?! My G7x2 broke and I was waiting for number 3 but this video certainly changed my mind. Thank you! I could see how disappointed you were in this video. I think we all feel it!
Definitely! Especially for those of us with broke Mk IIs.. I'm between just getting a new Mk II or mayyyyybe trying a Sony Rx100. Do you really think the color is much worse? I've tried them out side by side in Best Buy and definitely got that impression, but I don't know how it would be at home. I just love Canon and wish they could get it together 😆
@@AMAETV Try waiting a few weeks see if they update the firmware.
yes, mine broke as well and I held out for the iii. Bought it, hated it (and that's saying a lot cuz I LOVED the the ii) so I returned it and bought another ii. The autofocus is truly terrible!
I was about to pull the trigger on the Mark 3, but I guess I'll wait or get the 2.
Sorry to ruin it for you! It's so frustrating.. The Mk 2 really is a good camera so maybe that's a good decision.
Just learned Canon released Firmware Update Version 1.3 to help the focusing issues. 👍
G7x mark ii was my first camera for my channel but auto focus was horrible and sold it ! Might get lumix lx10 meanwhile !
Can you provide an update on the status of the AF issues in the current model of the compact travel camera? Additionally, considering the absence of any news about a Mark 4 version, would you recommend choosing this camera over the G7xii?
Thank you for this good review 👍😃 I dont buy the New Canon G7X Mark lll for the bad auto focus and overheating problems in 4K
Hi, would this camera be a good upgrade to my Canon M3, which I mainly use to do my TH-cam product videos mainly indoors. Could you just take look at one of my videos. Just to see io should stick with this camera or upgrade to another.Also I need it holiday & family event videos, I did think of the Sony RX 100 Vii is this over kill for my needs.Please could you advise.👍🏾🇬🇧
Yea this is what I'm seeing all over TH-cam also about the horrible auto focus and the 4K overheating. This really sucks as I too had my hopes up for this camera. I guess I'll just stick to my Canon M50 for now. Subbed!!!
I'm very interesting with colour of this camera, I want to have this camera to make my vlogg
Have you had a chance to review any low light level footage? It has got to beat carrying a DSLR around (I don't think my Canon 200D has great low light level)
Would you recommend a g7 max ii or iii?!
Also loved your video, and your baby is very cute!!🥰
Thanks!! In a nutshell.. the G7x MkII has better autofocus.. but the MkIII allows you to record audio with an external mic, so it's only better for vlogging, but not really because the AF sucks. The Mk II is great for photos but the audio sucks.. I wish Canon would make a new one already! For now I am recommending the Canon M50 for vlogging- learn more here th-cam.com/video/dH7HlOwe7PE/w-d-xo.html
Hey Alicia! Great video, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have to say, I'm disappointed that you didn't find the Mark III to be on par with the Mark II, even with the additional features. For me, this makes the second Canon release to be underwhelming after supposedly improving on its predecessor. (The first was the SL3.) Ah well, I guess I'll stick with my Mark II for now. Thanks again for sharing! Cheers!
Thanks Jay! Yes it's crazy that a new version of a camera can be WORSE than the one before it. The Mk II is a great thing to own and now we can all appreciate it much more 😄Cheers!
I'm having the same issue with the auto focus. I hope there will be a firmware update soon to correct that problem.
I hope so too!
I think Alicia gave an excellent tip on registering a face in the Auto Focus ID, and I will do some more research on it as well (for Mark III).
Hello, thanks for sharing.
Hi! Thanks for watching!
Yeah unfortunately I had very similar issues upon playing with the camera more. I am returning my G7x mark iii tomorrow!
Such a pain isn't it!
AMaeTV unfortunately it really is. Highly disappointed
Hey there my new friend‼️ Great video you rock cheers mate.
Thanks so much friend, cheers!
You've got a beautiful daughter, thanks for the review.
For your wireless Rode transmitter, an easy fix is to buy some black velcro tape and use that to easily fix the transmitter to the camera side, so it is easy to firmly attach when needed.
That sounds like a great idea! Thanks for sharing.. I think I will do that.
I'm with you! I was so so SOOOOO excited for the Mark iii... bought it and the auto focus was so bad... it would hardly track my toddler and my talking head shots were out of focus. Then I also couldn't find the 120 and when cannon told me where to find it, then I saw it has no IS. CANON? I'm a HUGE fan, but you're standing on shaky ground! I send the camera back and ordered and older mark ii again.
Haha nice. The Mark II really is where it’s at! Toddlers are difficult enough to keep still for focus. We need something better!
@@AMAETV they sure are!
Wow, just wow. Canon has been in the business long enough to know better than this. My heart sunk watching your finidings, what is up with Canon letting something like this go to market? I have the same focus issues with the Mk2, plenty clips cussing in the background because it won't focus, waving hand in front of it, af box around my face, still no, turn it off then back on....it focuses. The limitiations on 120 fps are simply rediculous. I have none of these issues with my tiny insta360 which I routinely film at 3.7k 100 fps. I can tell in the overall quality of this video that your mk2 vids look better, clearer...sharper, better color.. or is it just me? Good honest review Angela, good points to hit on that are game changers. Thank you :)
Thanks Bobby! Have you programmed your face into the face ID settings on the Mark II? I really think that helped mine and I was never overly annoyed with its AF after I did that. It's truly crazy that Canon let this come to market! I would have been much happier with the G7x MK II EXACTLY.... with the audio input. I really don't get the box around the face with no real focusing going on. All of the other features don't matter if it can't even focus. Ugh, seriously a disappointment. Oh well!
@@AMAETV Hi! Yes I shoot with facial recog 'on' and it usually helps, but if I'm in manual mode I like to 'rack' the focus and many times it just won't focus back on me even after trying to rack back. If I shoot in regular video mode (not full auto) with AF on is where most of the focus problem is. Many times if I power off, then restart, the AF works great again, lol. Oh well, I'm dealing with it, cheers! :)
great camera for Vlogging , i my self have one
Mark 2 has been a massive success
This little girl is really so cute and she reminds me of my little sister who died about 11 years ago😔😔 and to be honest I am feeling my sister's presence inside her...❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful woodsy area near the beach
It really is! It's become my go-to for camera demos 😃
So glad you covered these issues. Hate the focus problems especially in 120. I got overheating in 4K after 15 minutes of recording. Then I was forced back to 1080. 🤒
Let me add that there are more issues. You probably saw that when you fire up 4K you get a message that ISO is limited. Yeah, they gate ISO in 4K. Why?
Finally, this camera sports a new raw format, CR3. That is not supported in adobe and forces you to use Canon Utility to convert to TIF before you get images into Lightroom. Bleh!
I spoke with Canon support today. They acknowledged the overheating and the autofocus problems. They said they are investigating the problems. I believe they can fix the autofocus issues. But fear the overheating may require a redesign or possibly crop to make it work.
Oh geez the plot thickens! Thanks for the info and insight. It's amazing what comes up once it's actually in users hands. I don't see how this AF issue is 'news' to them.. That CR3 situation sounds terrible too. It's just a huge bummer, all of it!
I love my gx7ii and also was so excited for the mark iii. But after I bought the iii the auto focus was so bad I had to return it. Hope they can fix it, as I really want the mic input and 4K.
Yeah hopefully they can just literally take the Mk II and add and audio input and 4K next time!
@@AMAETV Fingers crossed.
They’ve updated the firmware. You reckon it’s worth getting one now? I really want the mic input too
Fair to say I am a bit disappointed but hopefully an update will fix the autofocus issue. I was thinking of buying this camera for live TH-cam streaming when out and about but the issues people are having scares me a bit.
I think I’ll hold onto my Mark II
Hold onto it tight! I may get a new one myself 😁
I noticed one of my fave vloggers got the new G7x, and the focus is terrible! And I didn't know there were issues with that yet. He was just doing a normal vlog, but I was super distracted by the weird focus...adjusting back and forth and out of focus. Blah. I'm just starting and have only used my iphone so far. Thinking I'll stick with that for now.
Yep it's so sad!! The G7x Mark ii is still a great option for your first vlogging camera- and the AF is MUCH better believe it or not > amzn.to/2ajOGLX
Your baby is so cute ! I really love her as my child.
Lies
@@colity6916 lol
Did you not have trouble with overheating? I could not even use 4K because of it.
I did! I mention it in the very end.. It wasn't too bad for me but I did have it shooting 120fps. So not cool.
Nice video n super cool kid
Great recap... the auto focus of this camera is becoming very annoying the more I use it on scene of incidents an doing interviews. A lot more work on the back end to crop out portions of incidents.
Yes I bet! Lots of editing based solely on whether or not things are in focus- and it shouldn't be that way.
I need your help! Do you think that I should return the mark III and get the mark II. Or do you think that the mark III can be fixed with updates?
That's the question of the month for sure! Personally, I would return the Mark III until we know for sure that an update will be released, AND that it will actually fix the issues. Once that return window is gone it's gone.. Now, whether to grab the Mk II is the question. If you're ok with the lack of an audio input then I'd say yes, go for it. It's really the only much-needed thing on the Mark III. Good luck!
Alicia Mae Hirté thank you for the response I did return the mark III. Now I am waiting to see if any updates comes out to fix the problems. Please up dates fix the problems. Thanks ❗️💕
how about the audio? do you attach with external mic?
Yes definitely! This mic is awesome with it th-cam.com/video/Fe8QpY8YAyg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for keeping things real! Was really looking forward to this camera, but after playing with it for a little over a week now I think it's going back. Autofocus is terrible and the over heating issue is just ridiculous. It's a shame too, as I LOVE the fast lens, ND filter, the form factor, touch screen menu and the overall image quality. But without reliable autofocus all that is useless to me. Canon really missed the mark with this one IMHO.
Do you know where could I get ‘Canon G7x Mark III’ in the Philippines?
That is great video I do have the sony a7mark3 but iam thinking 🤔 to buy smaller one I need it sometimes so that canon g7x mark3 it look good camera 📷. Is it great for photos?
Yes it's good for photos, but I think the G7x Mark II is better for photos with its better autofocus
AMAZING
Plz suggest it will be worth buying
Or sony zv1 or 6400?
depend what you want to use it for. a6400 is good if youre willing to buy extra lens no stabilization, zv1 is like g7x but zv1 has faster autofocus but average stabilization.
I was surprised this came out so soon. It’s almost like it was rushed to come out so maybe it wasn’t thought through all the way.
Upgraded to mark iii. Love it and all the features it offers but the focus is terrible and just as u said it, i want to be looking at the lens and not the screen.
let me ask the focus error has been fixed by canon and is it working fine. I'm still worried so I haven't decided to buy.
im vietnammese
I made a video all about the firmware update and new AF, check it out! th-cam.com/video/bDo3EAGOMgU/w-d-xo.html
wow thanks for you review. It seems like there are a lot issue on mark III . I have the mark II and i have not really use it because when I record my daughter for her YT account when I use the regular camera I am always having a hard time to edit it on the laptop. So I always tend to record my daughter from my pixel phone. Its easier to edit the vlog. Do you have any suggestion on what program I can use on my laptop for easier edit? Your input is very valuable to me. Thank you.
I'm so glad you found it all helpful! If you're using an Apple computer then definitely try iMovie . Otherwise some you could look into are Adobe Spark and Filmora. I use Final Cut Pro and although it may be harder to learn it's a breeze once you know it. You should have your daughter start learning to edit herself 😀
@@AMAETV yay thank you for recognizing my comment I greatly appreciate it.
@@AMAETV I will look into Adobe spark or filmora thank you
Could the AF issues be fixed with a firmware update? Or did they implement a new system in this one?
It seems that a firmware update is coming sometime in October- says Canon. Hopefully this will help the problem!
Got one the day it came out, been using it on a daily basis. Never had autofocus problem in broad daylight in 1080. Night time is... well, everyone suffers, rolling my eyes
Yep, or even the slightest bit of shaded area.. So lame!
i want the external mic input so badly but it i cant deal with the bad auto-focus ugh. stuck between mark ii and mark iii
Ugh I totally feel you. Do you make vlogs or more sit down videos? The solution I used for sit down videos on the Mk II was recording audio externally and syncing it. I have a few videos on it if that helps 😏
Honesty matters so I subscribed. I have the g7x mark ii. Unfortunately I bought it 3 months before this new camera came out.. Sadly I dont know how too professionally use cameras and I dont know what editing software that I can learn on. I've been using my phone. I want too learn so bad its driving me insane how too use cameras properly..
