Is this the camera expected to be announced later this month with the f/1.9 lens? After the G1X and now the S100 problems, Canon needs this one to be a hit.

In the last few months we have had the two latest Powershots which did not include a G12 successor, the G1X and the EOS M.
Surely they have to keep something up their sleeve for the show. Especially after the Sony RX 100 and now the Nikon P7700 being announced and stealing thunder (looks interesting). As to the latter it looks almost like a G12 rip off apart from the better lens and BL CMOS, sensor even to the size, weight and the articulated screen! I wonder how Canon can top that?

Saw another raving review on cnet today for the RX100 so my pocket is ready, but I do want to see what Canon does with the G12 and S100 successor. I don't see the price of the RX100 dropping anytime soon, but will to give it another month and if nothing from Canon transpires, the Sony it is. Either way, I am still thinking the RX100 might outperform both of them especially when it comes to focusing and overall performance.

I must admit I was sorely tempted by the RX100 until the Nikon P7700 was announced. It looks so much like what I might have expected a G12 to be that with the lower price than the RX 100, the longer brighter zoom and the articulated screen that for me, if no G12 successor is announced by Photokina, my money will go on the Nikon. I am almost tempted to pre-order one now but I am going to be patient and wait till Photokina. I almost forgot to add, the RX has no hot shoe or grip!
Gman said:Admittedly a high IQ is important but the poor zoom lets it down for me as well as the lack of the swivel screen. The hot shoe also is not important as I use a little slave flash that's triggered by the camera flash when needed.
On the other hand it does have a big sensor for such a small camera. Decisions decisions.
powershot2012 said:Yeah, that is the beauty of a large sensor camera you can always crops your pics nicely and still have an overall small camera for day to day use. I like the Sony Clear Zoom which really gives you a 7.2x lens, twice the amount if you drop it to 10M. Then you got a pocket super zoom camera. LOL
If you need some serious zoom, check out the new FZ200 with full range F2.8.
