Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III is the zoom compact on this list. Its 4.2x lens covers 24-100mm equivalent at f/1.8-2.8, so it reaches further than any other camera here without changing lenses, and the bright f/1.8 wide end helps indoors. Behind it sits a 20.1MP 1.0-type stacked CMOS sensor, bigger than a typical phone sensor though smaller than APS-C. Canon lists 4K video, 120fps Full HD slow motion, a tilt-up screen for selfies, a stereo microphone with a 3.5mm mic input and direct live streaming to YouTube. Firmware V1.3.2 added an automatic movie mode tuned for vlogging, plus zebra display, video aspect markers and a level in face tracking mode. We could not confirm a US price because Canon's US store refused our request, so check Canon USA before you compare. Specs come from Canon's own product pages. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the camera.
