Hi,
As a follow-up on my own questions... I have decided to give a Sony
RX100 vii a try and what a breeze compared to the Canon PowerShot G7X
iii. The basics are working fine.
Cheers
Raymond

Dear all,
I am encountering a few annoying issues with my Canon PowerShot G7X
mark ii and I would like to check if these are also present with the
mark iii. Is there someone with such camera and wants to create a log
file for inspection of the capabilities? I would appreciate that :-)
The issues I encounter with the mark ii which could be resolved by the
mark iii are:
* The mark ii cannot be powered via usb and needs to be powered via a
fake battery. When doing so you always need to use the menu to
confirm and proceed. This is practically unworkable when using the
camera in an environment where you don't have access. The mark iii
should be powered via the USB-C - is that confirmed when used with
libgphoto2?
* The mark ii goes to sleep when you don't touch a button - any button
- when using via libphoto2. I am trying to make it work with a 3D
printed part but it is kind of clumsy. Does the mark iii have the
option KeepDeviceOn?
I don't need to use a Canon per se but it seems like a very nice form
factor with good capabilities. If someone has a good suggestion,
please share.
Thanks,
Raymond
