In 2016, Canon introduced the Canon Power Shot G7 X Mark II with a newer DIGIC 7 processor.

In 2019, Canon introduced the G7 X Mark III. However, it was criticized for its autofocus issues.

In the first half of 2024, the Mark II and Mark III versions of the camera went viral on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. A global supply shortage and price increase followed.[3][4][5]
