The G7 X III is popular thanks to its wide array of vlogging features, photographer-pleasing 24-100mm equiv. F1.8-2.8 lens, and well-considered controls. |
At a media event in Tokyo, Canon said it’s in the process of increasing production on the PowerShot G7 X III, the company’s premium compact camera that has recently been quite difficult to buy.
It’s a reiteration of a few comments the company has made throughout the year. In January, it told investors it had seen a surge of orders for the camera, coinciding with point-and-shoots rising in popularity, and in the summer, it said it was increasing production on its compact cameras. And when we specifically asked about the frequent PowerShot G7 X III stock issues, the company promised that the camera was still in production.
The company says the renewed production is following a component shortage, and that it’s starting to fulfill backorders on the camera. Whether this means that you’ll be able to buy one in the near-term feature if you haven’t already put in an order remains to be seen, but Canon says the PowerShot G7 X III is still in its lineup, so there’s some hope.
Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
