GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Vlogging, Content Creation & Travel Video — PowerShot G7X Mark III (2019): The finest vlogging compact available — pocket-sized 4K, a flip screen, mic input, and USB live streaming in one remarkably capable package.

Documentary, Portrait & Reportage Photography — Q3 43 (2024): The Q3 with the most human lens — 43mm, 60MP, and Leica rendering at its most natural and versatile.

PowerShot G7X Mark III (2019)

  • Vloggers and content creators who need 4K video, a flip screen, and a mic input in a pocket-sized camera
  • Travellers who want the best possible compact video quality without carrying an interchangeable-lens system
  • Live streamers who want USB streaming capability built into a compact camera
  • Smartphone upgraders who want significantly better video quality in something nearly as pocketable

Q3 43 (2024)

  • Portrait and documentary photographers who find 28mm too wide and 50mm too tight
  • Q3 owners who prefer a natural 43mm perspective over the iconic 28mm Summilux
  • Reportage photographers who want the discreet Q3 form factor with a more intimate focal length
  • Leica system users who want a fixed-lens body that excels across multiple genres

Quick take: The q3 43 has the highest resolution at 60mp; the powershot g7x mark iii is the most affordable; only the q3 43 is weather sealed. Scroll down for the full spec breakdown.
