I just opened the box for my new Canon PowerShot G7X Mark III Digital Camera and am learning how it works. One thing I'm not seeing in the manual is how to download images taken with this PowerShot to my desktop computer. I am not a smart phone person and am not interested in becoming one. Also, I have vision issues, so I edit my photos on a *huge* desktop monitor.
My previous Canon PowerShot camera, vintage 2010, enabled this transfer via a USB cable that physically connected that camera to a computer. I don't see (at least so far) a place to plug a cable into the G7X Mark III. None came in its box either.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I just checked the specs for your computer and it apparently HAS a built-in SD card reader. In the image below it is likely the vertical slot to the left of the audio out port: NOTE the card will fit comfortably only one way, so if it does not fit, rotate the card 180deg and try again

Glad you have found a solution. Nope, I'm of UK origin, but my handle is a portmanteau of my first and last names.

Hi Trevor, I just acquired a PowerShot G7 and cannot upload the photos into my new desk top MAC despite using a chip reader or by using a direct cable. I also seem to have a problem formatting the memory card despite using a SDS card. Can you help? Thanks, Marc

Hi Marc:
Really, you should start your own thread - for a start you are using a completely different computer system - the starter of this thread is using Windows and you are using a Mac, and that has significant implications to compatibility.
However, the issue may not be with your computer. Are you using full-size SD cards or micro-SD with an adapter? If it is the latter, then that is not an uncommon issue - micro-SD use different technology compared to full-size SD cards and have a 'dry joint' where the micro cards meets the adapter, both of which are issues.
If you have been using micro cards, definitely replace those with full-size cards from a reputable supplier: such as SanDisk, Lexar and Prograde; avoiding cheap deals on the web - there are lots of counterfeits out there.
