Customer Ratings & Reviews

The pictures on this camera really are great and that’s why it makes it hard for me to leave such a low rating. The pictures are crisp and the built in filters on the camera make shooting good shots easy. But, the autofocus on this thing does have a tendency to drive you insane. There were times when the autofocus worked as expected. Then there were times it was noticeably slow, and then there were times it wouldn’t focus at all. Even with the great pictures this camera takes, not being able to rely on the focus makes this really hard to recommend. This thing also shoots up to 4K video that looks amazing. The video is butter smooth and crystal clear. I could see this thing being great for shooting quick videos that don’t need a ton of editing. Overall, I loved the great pictures and videos this camera gave me but, the below average autofocus left me wanting more.

My fiance and I got this camera as a replacement for our vlogging channel (Grayson and Jeff) and have loved it!! While it does sometimes struggle to autofocus, it's an issue that resolves itself pretty quickly once you touch your face on the touchscreen viewfinder. Once you do that, the rest of the video normally stays in focus. One thing we have loved about this camera is that on the touchscreen, there's a button to start/stop the video. In addition, this camera is AMAZING in low light conditions which has been a huge plus since our house only gets good natural lighting for a few hours every day. The Canon G7X mark III also gives a wider picture on video mode which has been nice for vlogging because we're able to fit more in one frame. While we don't normally use a microphone, it's nice that this model can actually have one. Overall, we've loved this camera and personally think it's a huge step up from the mark II. The only reason that I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the autofocus isn't 100% perfect every time you use it.

The Canon G7 X Mark III came up shorter than what I expected. Although it shoots 4K video, there is still some improvement to be done with the autofocus function. I was excited about getting the G7 X Mark III camera in time for the holiday, but the autofocus was a big letdown. As for the picture quality, it’s great. You have filter options as well, and the zoom in function is also good at full zoom. Make sure to download the Canon app to get the full benefit out of the G7 X Mark III. The WiFi connection makes it easy to transfer pictures between devices. Following the step by step instruction, setting up the WiFi, or Bluetooth, connection is a breeze. In all, I feel that there are better options for the price.

Takes wonderful photos, highly recommend! Fun pics

We love this product for family pictures and lifetime memories!

Its a good camera, I upgraded from a cannon t100. I really like it alot better quality

This camera is my favorite thing I have ever gotten. I am a huge dslr fan, and this camera gives it a run for it's money. The videos are phenomenal! I'm excited to stream live to YouTube! Picture quality is great!

Great Camera! Good buy for novice and intermediate!

The canon G7X Mark III includes several exciting updates from its predecessor the Mark II, including an input for an external microphone and the ability to livestream directly to YouTube. However, there are also a few key drawbacks of the camera. The biggest of these is probably the autofocus system, which is considerably slower than that of the Mark II. The internal audio for the camera is also lacking, and since there is no hot or cold shoe to attach an external microphone, it is difficult to mount. Hopefully one of the leading microphone companies will come up with a solution to this problem soon. It’s 4K abilities are also limited, especially since you cannot record sound when recording in 4K. The camera does well in low light, and is great for quick stills, but it has a ways to go in terms of video. If new firmware updates are able to improve the autofocus system and a company like Rode comes out with a good external mic that sticks to the side of the camera, this will be a great vlogging camera! Until then, I will probably continue to use my Mark II.

Great Camera. If you’re buying this for video capabilities, I recommend watching some videos on the autofocus in the last year or two and deciding if that’s worth it to you.

My friend and I have a podcast and recently started recording video. I went to the sawgrass Best Buy to purchase a good camera to do so. After it took 30 minutes for someone to come by to help us, i asked the employee if this was a good camera for filming a podcast. He seemed like he’d rather be anywhere but here, which I get but I was about to drop some money so at least act like you care, thanks. He responded by saying “for vlogging? Yes.” So feeling rushed I decided to purchase the camera. Worst decision. It stops recording after 23 minutes and has a battery life of about 40 minutes. Unfortunately none of the reviews I saw mentioned this. Don’t go to the sawgrass store if you’re expecting good customer service and don’t buy this camera if you need to film all day.

I really wanted to love this camera and for the $750 price point I had certain expectations from this camera that were simply not met. I tested this camera both before the firmware update and after the firmware update and it still has major focusing issues. I scoured the internet looking to see if it was just me, maybe I was doing something wrong. I came up with folks having very similar if not the same problems as me with the focusing. It does not focus on subjects in a timely manner not does it keep focus. This is crucial when taking videos. I recorded 3 separate Christmas events and was disappointed with all of them. I did simple in house testing outside testing and still had focus issues. I truly believe this camera would be wonderful if they could identify and fix the focusing issues but until they do that I can not confidently use the camera for video.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

Placed an order on November 21st and Best Buy decides to just randomly cancel my order on December 5th. Very disappointed!!

Stopped working after a month and can no longer return it
