I don't want APS-C. That just means another $1500+ camera with a slow zoom lens. What i want is a G16 or Ixus sized camera with modern tech and sensor and a good quality 24-100 or 24-200mm lens.

The Next Canon PowerShot is Coming This Year
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Canon just needs to make more super zoom or just good zoom around 400mm compact camera's with raw, travel buddies to take with you to everywhere there are already so much compact camera's with 2x or 3x zoom

While I'd rather have a high quality 2X or 3X zoom than one of these mediocre superzooms. You simply cannot combine low cost, extreme focal variation, wide open aperture and high IQ.Canon just needs to make more super zoom or just good zoom around 400mm compact camera's with raw, travel buddies to take with you to everywhere there are already so much compact camera's with 2x or 3x zoom
Sure, it is tempting to have one single "does it all" lens, but there's often a drawback to accept, optical quality and aperture.
No free lunch!

I am not smart enough to grasp why anyone would want a telephoto on this. The form factor is not conducive for telephoto shots. I would prefer it to be wider than current camera. It is my walk around camera and a wider lens would be nice.Still hoping for a good zoom range around 400mm and it needs to have raw and a bigger sensor, or a new G5X with new features...
But come on canon hurry upmake compact camera's for photographers instead of vlogging

400mm equivalent and a bigger sensor, don’t hold your breath. P&S cameras can have supertelephoto equivalent focal lengths because of the smaller sensors.
Everyone has different needs and preferences. Like you, I prefer wider for a walkaround lens/camera. I really like the 16-50mm (equivalent) range of my PowerShot V1 (enough so that I pre-ordered the RF 20-50/4 to use with my R8). Still, I understand that some people want/need a P&S with more range. Before my DSLR days began, I used an Olympus C-765 UZ, 4 MP with a 38-380mm (FF equivalent, 6x crop factor). One of the places it went with me was on a trip to Africa that included a safari in Tanzania and a visit with mountain gorillas in Rwanda.

Yeah, but.. Cameras without a viewfinder are so cumbersome to use with a long lens.

That little Oly had one.
Given the small size and weight, personally I don’t find it problematic to use a rear LCD with a longer focal length P&S.

actually not much difference between the LCD and the view finder (maybe 4x linear). maybe the thing we dont need is the LCD...

Oh, I didn't think it was that bad...
Maybe I was just used to it, since before that I had an Olympus C-960Z (1.3 MP sensor, 35-105mm equivalent).
...and before that I had an Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 80 (film, 35-80mm actual).
Thanks, and for me that's always been the point. I've never really understood why the appearance of a tool they're using matters so much to some people. I dunno...maybe the dude with the tool belt and the too-low jeans that show way too much is magically transformed into a ruggedly handsome guy when he's framing a wall using this instead of a regular old hammer.
Hey, maybe that's how Clark Gable and Harrison Ford went from construction workers to actors? Somehow, I doubt it.

Grab your camera, go out and shoot!
In particular with a comparison with e.g. a current DxO Photolab version, since most today's imaging softwares offer AI enhanced processing tools.

beautiful - I like in particular the dreamy Gorilla. Looking at the lion, I personally would prefer to have a tele lens instead of a wide angle lens - a close-up might give you a too deep insight in the inwards of such a carnivore

I had a G7, a nice little brick of a camera, unfortunately Canon omitted with that camera the possibility to shoot RAW. But this sort of OVF was just a sort of a peephole - no frame indicated, no rangefinder patch... I didn't like it.

Thanks! The lion was in the Ngorongoro Crater, they are not shy and closely approach the safari vehicles.beautiful - I like in particular the dreamy Gorilla.

Actually, my wife and I were very close to the mountain gorillas, too...

Yes, I had a G9. The viewfinder was much less impressive than e.g. the old Owl /af2 film compacts which had an ovf similar in size/quality to my Leica 36mm ovf (which is to say, better than my 5D)
Ovfs are good with primes. Still l'd like to think Canon could improve the basic formula with the zooming ovf as per the g7- g12 series, but bigger. Or, much more likely, just use an evf with ovf sim tech....the only problem with the evfs is they are often protruding out the back and therefore ruin pocketability. If set forwards (protruding out the front slightly in the same width area as the smallest prime lens protrudes) it would be much better for pockets...

A close friend of mine visited the moutain gorillas there past year - well, another great destination we have on our list.

I am used to classic rangefinder and SLR viewfinders, and compared to them the OVFs of these compacts are dissappointing (the biggest and brightest OVF I know has my New Mamiya 6 rangefinder). But of course, they help when it is too bright for shooting with the screen display on the camera's back.

An OVF and hot shoe takes up considerable area at the top of compact cameras. Not having both on the G7X III is a plus for me regarding size for pocket ability.
