Canon celebrates 30 years of PowerShot with PowerShot G7 X Mark III 30th Anniversary Edition
2026 marks the 30-year anniversary of Canon’s PowerShot compact digital camera line. To celebrate this, an Anniversary Edition PowerShot G7 X Mark III with a new colour body and logo will be released in April 2026.
Since the launch of the original PowerShot 600 in July 1996, the PowerShot range evolved its lineup to meet the diverse needs of its users, most recently with the PowerShot V10 and PowerShot V1. The PowerShot brand, launched with the aim of making it easier to create high-quality images and videos, is popular among a wide range of users, from camera beginners to professionals.
Over the past 30 years, Canon’s PowerShot range has continually progressed, responding to changing consumer needs with industry-leading advancements and refined design. Highlights include the introduction of lens image stabilization in the 2001 PowerShot Pro90 IS, RAW shooting in the G Series, and the innovative PowerShot V1 – the first compact model with an integrated cooling fan for longer 4K recording sessions.
Today, Canon delivers a range of cameras loved by creators. The PowerShot G Series offers high image quality and multifunctionality in a compact form, the PowerShot V Series enables effortless, fully-fledged video, and the PowerShot SX Series empowers users with impressive high magnification zoom capabilities.

The G7 X Mark III Anniversary Edition retains the 1.0-inch stacked CMOS sensor with approximately 20.1 million effective pixels1 and a large aperture and bright 4.2x optical zoom lens for versatile video expression. In addition to still image shooting, the “Video Blog” shooting mode, designed especially for Vlogging, supports comfortable and intuitive video creation.
