Canon officially announces the PowerShot G5 X Mark II and PowerShot G7 X Mark III
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Is there some sort of '1st 4k whining' award people try to get around here?

Always the same:
Canon releases something/anything and it doesn't take 3 posts till someone is complaining.
To be the first:
Canon is doomed! Yet again!

In all seriousness, I have my eye on the G5 and the first price drops. It might be the travel camera and backup to my Canon FF bodies my M5 never was (not pocketable, still bringing the same gear and accessories, just smaller, button layout a crowded mess for large hands)

These are the first non-Sony 1" cameras where Sony allowed use of their stacked sensor. I guess that means that the next RX camera (coming this month) will contain a new Sony sensor. This is likely why Canon continues with their own sensors and DPAF even if the sensor tech is behind Sony.

but nikon seemed to get good sensors from them for the full frame. and the medium format sensors seem nice too.

Can someone confirm the differences besides I see the g5 goes to 120mm?
Also, isn't it extremely weird that they added a mic input, talk about vlogging, but have nowhere to mount a mic? No shoe or 1/4-20 at the top? Gonna have to get funky adapters/cages making the camera larger and heavier

G5 likely has better quality lens. G5 has EVF but no mic port.
The cameras are positioned differently, so I wouldn't be surprised by odd but intended differences in firmware.
There is 1/4" at the bottom, of course.Also, isn't it extremely weird that they added a mic input, talk about vlogging, but have nowhere to mount a mic? No shoe or 1/4-20 at the top? Gonna have to get funky adapters/cages making the camera larger and heavier

What's the point of having a pocketable camera if you're just going to stick a huge boom mic on top? Plus it would block the selfie screen for vlogging use.
There are still good uses for having a mic jack. A cage fixes the problem when you don't need the pocketability. Alternatively, you could handhold a small microphone (for non-vlogging use), use a lavalier mic, or mount the mic on a separate stand in the studio.

That's probably largely responsible for why it doesn't have a hot (or cold) shoe.
