    AutoFocus is ABYSMAL.

    So I preordered a G7X Mark III after LOVING the G1X Mark III and G7X Mark II, due to the fact that it had an external mic input and uncropped 4K (the first of any Canon camera to as well I think). So the camera comes in, I pop in the battery and my SD card, go into video mode and turn on 4K at 30 fps to do a sample test in excellent lighting and the entire camera falls apart. There box is around my face making it seem like I'm in focus, but nope it's drifting everywhere and once it does lock on focus it loses the moment there's any slight movement. TLDR: On paper an excellent little compact camera at a great price compared to the RX100 VII, but the autofocus make it completely useless for video which is who this camera is targeted at.

    The G7 Mark lll has a MAJOR flaw - No shoe for mic

    I have owned many Canon cameras and currently have a G15 and an M50 plus 2 Canon camcorders. I was excited to purchase the new G7 Mark lll (although overpriced I thought) because it featured an external mic input. However, I discovered there is NO SHOE TO MOUNT AN EXTERNAL MIC! What are you supposed to do - hold the small G7 camera with one hand and a big RODE mic (or similar) with the other hand? This is an incredibly stupid design and negates one of the biggest advantages of the camera. I'll stick with my G15. With a shoe, a small Tascam stereo mic would fit on top of the camera and you could have gotten great sound with a very portable camera.

    With the updated firmware there is no overheating and the autofocus works great. While this camera won't replace my DSLR, it gets more use because I always have it with me.

    Ordered this camera back in november and after waiting weeks for it, best buy emails me on december 5th letting me know that they are canceling my order with no further explanation. When i called to find out why, they said they didnt have a reason amd that because its currently out of stock there’s nothing they can do. Very Disappointed!!

    Autofocus is Terribly Slow

    I went to the store ready to buy this camera, but thankfully I took the time to play around with it. I tested the focus accuracy and speed alone and relative to other cameras and this camera performed very bad. I wanted a small camera as a backup during travel and really wanted this to be the one, but unfortunately I’m going to opt for a more expensive point and shoot camera. I have a degree in photography and owned a studio for many years.
