Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III
The PowerShot G7 X Mark III is a beginner-tier (64) 1-inch-sensor vlog camera in a 304g pocket body, with 20.1MP stills, uncropped 4K30, a flip screen, and a dedicated live-stream button. It's the viral one-pocket-camera pick, with a bright 24-100mm equivalent zoom. Be ready for chronically short stock and scalper markups, and note its 2019-era contrast AF makes it weak for action or AF-critical work.
