Does anyone know the length of time from when Canon announces a camera and one hits the stores?

I lost my G7. I was going to get the latest which is a G10, but they always announce around August a new product line. I’m not sure if its worth waiting or not till it hits the stores. Your advice is appreciated.

SX10 really needs a new SX20 with (much) brigher lens. SX10 slow lens make me not buy it even if I had the S1 IS and S3 IS and was happy with them. Also they really need to put at least a 720p video mode on it and to make some software Cromatic Aberation corrections (SX1, even if it’s FullHD, is not a solution as it’s image quality is not as good as SX10 and is way too expensive). I’m waiting 4-5 more months before switching to Panasonic (FZ-38) hoping Canon corrects the mistakes they made with the SX10/SX1 (mostly way too slow lens – especially compared to S5 IS). Anyway, not hoping for news about SX10/SX1 replacements in August, maybe October/November.

I would love to see an SX2 with more pixels than the SX1 – but also with a larger chip than the SX1.
Has anyone heard of another brand that has a better hybrid cam with a long zoom like the SX1?

I would love to see a PowerShot with a touch screen.

1 surprise will be the return of the S series Powershot.

The 25mm is very nice. But no RAW, no aperture-priority, no shutter-priority, no full manual, no manual focus. And a smaller sensor, too, than on the S70. So it’s not exactly the same thing …

HD video is nice for some people, but personally I don’t care about it.

Because for some reason, some fanbois here expect a ~$1300 camera to match the competition’s $1800 camera. Those expecting the 60D to be a D300/D300s killer would be very, very disappointed come August…

CRGuy, does this source point to anything more interesting coming out on the same day? Like a DSLR or two and some new lenses?

why would raising the price make it a pro crop line?

A “little” larger? 4 AA batteries alone are almost as big as my Ixus 40 itself.

My a650 outlasted my SD series and G series powershots by a factor of 2-to-1. A 4AA battery camera, though a little larger, is a great compact. It’s just that Canon decided they should kill the line.
