From https://www.canonwatch.com/this-is-the-canon-powershot-g7-x-mark-iii-4k-video/

The specifications as listed

20 million pixel 1.0 type back illuminated CMOS
  • DIGIC 8
  • Even RAW files can be shot at up to 30 frames per second
  • 4K video
  • Full HD 120 fps movie
  • 3.5 mm microphone input terminal
  • Equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
  • Size: 105.5 x 60.9 x 41.4 mm
  • Weight: 304g
Of course, without a headphone port or a hotshoe to hold an external mic (and probably no onscreen VU meter), audio is still a non-feature.
Hopefully, it has other tricks over the RX100 Mk5 (similar lens) such as touch focus DPAF, but if nothing else, touch menu is almost guaranteed.
Superzoom lovers will have to content with the RX100 mk6 or wait for the Powershot G3X mark II.
