Looks like Canon is finally joining the 4K train. G7X Mark III leaked. Edit: Maybe.

Photorumors (via CR) has leaked the specifications and images of the upcoming G7X Mark III.

Certainly a fresh new look, however, part of me wonders if this looks a little too much like CGI.

From the images, it appears to have at least the following specifications;

4K video 50P

• 24-100mm f/1.8-2.8 IS 4.2x Lens (35mm equivalent)
• 1″ image sensor
• USB-C
• Microphone Jack
• HDMI output
• Hot shoe

Certainly is a nice looking and so far at least, nicely specced.

Announcement is supposed to occur at the CP+ show in March.

Edit:

I'm going to go out on a limb here, there's enough things wrong with these images that make me question if this is a mockup of what the G7X Mark III may look like, and not what it really does.

• Powershot is not mentioned anywhere on the camera. Every powershot has powershot written on it somewhere
• There's no microphone holes  someone found them!
• The top dial doesn't have EC on it, which means that canon is actually removing the EC dial from the G7X Mark III.
• There's no flash switch to pop out the flash (even though looking from the top it appears like it has a flash)
• The buttons don't look "canon-like".  The icons don't match canon "standard icons".
• There's no record button.
• There's no click / smooth button for the dial around the lens.
• The video images show 120 minutes and 60 minutes which would classify this as a video camera and not a stills camera for European import taxation. This won't happen.
• There's no sensor on the front of the camera for the infrared remote trigger. Every Canon has that.The G7X series only had AF assist lamps.  That is missing from the Mark III.
• no PASM dial
• No quick menu button

So unless Canon has decided to go in an entirely different direction with the G7X Mark III and dumb it right down to a G9Xesque camera this doesn't pass the smell test.

That doesn't mean that Canon isn't coming out with a 4K G7X Mark III, just that this really doesn't look like it.
