Disappointing. I originally bought the m200 instead of the G7X Mark III because I heard about autofocus issues. I sold it for a variety of reasons (portability is close but not like my old RX100 and discontinuation of the m-line too.) I was hoping that Canon would release an update to the G7X line, even if minor, to what is a great feature set. Instead we get a camera whose audience is unclear. I understand trying to do a MFT at a small body will come with some compromises but 2.8f and very limited zoom and no flash puts this camera in a much more limited market. The G7X Mii and Miii and the Sony ZV-1 still seem to be the best hybrid photo/video cameras that can actually do both well and certainly well enough without serious compromise. I'm guessing Canon was only looking at the ZV-1 Mii as its primary competition. Sony too suffered a misstep with the zoom but it at least has the F1.8 - and it costs less than the V1. I really hope that Canon will release some statement as to what it plans going forward. The near $1000 price (with taxes, etc.) also makes the v1 a challenge and it is not the equivalent of what Sony was doing with the RX100. It's more ZV. Let's hear the plans soon, please!
