Re: G7X mark III image review lag

After a year to this thread, I have just purchased the G7x mark III with firmware v1.2.  Very frustrated that the same issue is on my DC no matter what setting I used.  I've been using the G7x mark I for 5 years+ and only purchased the mark III after I accidentally dropped my mark I to the water.  So disappointed for my new purchase.  Anyone with solution on the issue?

I've tried many different settings changes and I can't effect an immediate display of image review; there is always some lag.

I now have also gone and checked out a store display model. That one, also on firmware v1.2, behaves the same way. Then I also tried a Canon SX740 sitting next to it, and it acted the same way. Neither had memory cards, but you'd think if anything that that would only reduce the lag.

So, I am getting the impression that this is endemic to the latest Canon devices and firmware.

In addition, I think there may be a related lag problem seen in another 2019 Canon, discussed in this thread:

What are other people experiencing with recent Canons?

(And is there any reason to think this would be considered an upgrade in some weird way?)
