Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III is good for vlogging. It has a great screen that you can flip up to face you when the camera is pointed at you. It's also exceptionally portable, and footage taken while walking should remain smooth and stable. It can shoot in 4k and FHD without a crop; however, it does incur a reduction in your field of view when its stabilization feature is set to High. It's also okay at tracking faces, though it struggles to capture clear and sharp footage free of noticeable visual noise while shooting in 4k and FHD. Unfortunately, its battery performance is poor and frequently causes the camera to shut down from overheating, especially when shooting in 4k. This can make it hard to record long videos in 4k, so it may be best to stick to recording in FHD.

The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III is a good pocket camera with a big 1-inch sensor, a bright zoom lens, and 4K video, but it faces strong competition from smartphones and cameras alike.

The PowerShot G7 X Mark III faces some strong competition from the likes of Sony and Panasonic, but with a longer-than-usual lens, great handling and a whole suite of niceties for videographers, it succeeds in offering enough to warrant its place in a populated section of the market.

Ever wonder how some people get such grainy, older-looking pictures? The answer: a film camera. You can buy a reusable film camera, but for starting out, I prefer a disposable film camera.
