Canon released its first PowerShot camera back in 1996<\/a> with a 0.5-megapixel sensor, helping kickstart the digital photo revolution. To celebrate that 30-year anniversary, the company has unveiled a Limited Edition version of its still-popular PowerShot G7 X III compact camera. It has a few unique touches but is otherwise the same as the original model released nearly seven years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The limited edition model has a new \u201cgraphite\u201d color with a knurled front ring designed to exude \u201cluxury and quality,\u201d Canon wrote. It also carries 30 year anniversary logo printed on the body \u201cto create a special feeling suitable for limited edition models,\u201d the company added in the most Canon-y way possible. <\/p>\n

As a reminder, the G7 X III was one of the first cameras announced specifically<\/a> as a model for vloggers, thanks to its ability to shoot vertical video for Instagram. It features a 20.1MP sensor, flip-up 3-inch touchscreen, 24-100mm f\/1.8-2.8 zoom lens and a microphone input. It supports 4K 30 fps video with no cropping and can shoot 1080p at 120 fps. The piece de resistance<\/em> is direct streaming to YouTube directly over Wi-Fi, then a new thing but now a common feature. It originally retailed for $749. <\/p>\n

The G7 X III had been in short supply until recently, but used models became popular with influencers several years ago<\/a> and started selling way above list price. Possibly because of that viral fame, Canon announced in August 2025 that it was increasing production and the G7 X III started returning to stock<\/a> a few months later priced at $880. <\/p>\n

The Limited Edition G7 X III is selling for a lot more than that at $1,299, though it does come with a limited edition Peak Design cuff wrist strap and 32GB SD card. If you want to one-up the influencers and grab one, shipping will start in April 2026. <\/p>\n

Along with the camera, Canon announced a pair of interesting new RF-mount full-frame lenses. The first is the ultra wide angle RF 14mm f\/1.4 L VCM prime model priced at $2,599, promising bright, high quality optics. The other is a very interesting $1,899 RF7-14mm f\/2.8-3.5 L Fisheye STM zoom lens with up to a 190 degree perspective at the widest setting. <\/p>\n\n
