We have been told that there will be another PowerShot camera in the second half of 2025 and it will be some kind of replacement for the PowerShot SX70 HS.

Two New PowerShot Cameras Planned for 2025

The more options, the better. I´m not really hoping for anything specific. I just want to add another lightweight camera somewhere in the next two years. When those Powershot cameras finally hit the market, I'll get into it.

Ideally I would like to see 2 compact cameras that pair up. Instead of a lens swap, you would do a compact camera swap.
Both are double stacked 1 inch sensor cameras, and have proper eye AF and all the modern bells and whistles.
However, the lens is the main difference, where camera A focusses on wide angle, indoors, street and low light performance. Thinking for exampe, In FF eq., a 15 to 35mm F1.8
Then, to compliment this, camera B focusses on more on portait, macro and wildlife. This could have a 50-600mm lens starting at F1.8 (on the tele end, anything from 500 to 800mm would be great, with an aperture of F4 to F8 - whatever possible to keep it compact).
Maybe I'm the only one who would be interested in something like this - but having 2 compact cameras like this, one in each pocket, would give great versatility, keeps the size smaller, perfect for travelling and has less compromise to image quality as the zoom range is less.
...and let the focus be on stills - not videos

I always thought the m-line was tempting, but I ultimately didn't buy because there was no possibility to use FF lenses on them and m-lenses on FF (which one wouldn't do anyway). I always thought the EF-S/ EF compatibility was a great thing, but given it hadn't existed for RF/ M mount, I opted for RF. But I´d love to see such setups and a RF-S 22mm. It tempt me way more than a compact camera.

"The image sensor for the PowerShot cameras will be Canon made."
A requirement for a sensor to have DPAF.

Good news about the SX70 replacement. I hope it has a built in viewfinder, better image quality than the SX70 and that it isn't too expensive. The G3X had good enough image quality and the lens range fine but I sold mine because it was too slow and the lack of a built in viewfinder was annoying.

Sure?
If I'm not mistaken, there were a few Canons with sony sensors.
And I wouldn't be surprised if this were still the case.
Anyway, my post was jokingly referring exclusively to the coming Canon compact cameras.

You are correct. Canon used the 20 Mpx 1" sensor https://www.canonwatch.com/canon-powershot-g7-x-features-sony-bsi-cmos-sensor/ I looked into this some years ago when I got a Canon G3 X with the sensor. I sold the G3 X and bought the Sony RX10iv with the same sensor, the same model still on sale 8 years on.n (The RX10iv was a useful small camera for packing for travel for birding and still is a fine bridge camera, but the R7 with the RF 100-400mm is not much bigger and beats it hands down for longer focal lengths and with a larger sensor.)

No one cares about bridge cameras. The digicam revival crowd wants something that fits in a purse or pocket, and the enthusiasts are not going to put up with a 1/2.3" sensor.
It might be worth a look if it had a 1-inch type sensor and a good price.

It’s ok. No one expects trolls to have a clue what they’re talking about.

As popular as the Leica Q3 and Fuji X100 are, you would think Canon would come out with an equivalent. A new V-system would be a great opportunity for it as the fix lens is closest to Canon's old powershot/"G" lineup.Fine, no more sony in a Canon (sensor).
PS: Still hoping for a hi-IQ FF compact with EVF or OVF, even if accessory!
Why not with a 28mm f/1,4 or f/2 ?
It would be a bit odd, having a X100 equivalent (APS-C) as a V1 and then a superzoom in the same series of cameras. I imagine both would sell, so maybe.

But, seriously, folks – which 24-100mm camera am I going to pull from my kit for a walk around camera for travel?
I lined up the image sensor plane for both, so any forward protrusion on the 1DX2 increases DPR (Depth of Pocket Required.)
I would personally look forward to a G7X Mk IV or similar, but a high IQ compact camera with extensive menu controls is becoming a niche product.
I had to use my iPhone to take this photo! (2x digital zoom used to get 56mm equivalent view.)

I will keep hoping for a G3X replacement rather than a SX70 replacement. I moved from the SX70 to the G3X as my \'small\' travel camera and the improvement in IQ easily compensated for the droop in lens power. (Ultimately, I still yearn for something akin to a reworked PowerShot Pro1 with its L-Series lens).

A 1” sensor camera that goes to a 500-800mm equivalent won’t fit into your pocket The Sony RX10iv does 24-600mm equivalent with an f/4 lens but is the size of a DSLR. The Canon G3X with an f2.8-5.6 and without a viewfinder is significantly smaller but still too large for the average pocket.Ideally I would like to see 2 compact cameras that pair up. Instead of a lens swap, you would do a compact camera swap.

1. https://fstoppers.com/reviews/how-sony-rx100-changed-compact-cameras-668163
2. Your post here causes yet another round of questions for me, because Canon has really lost its way when it comes to small and light cameras. What were they thinking? A decade or so ago, all of the local big box stores (including Walmart?!) had pocket-sized Canon on display...as many as a dozen or so...or more! I know I know...phones-as-cameras. But what happened to Canon's execs...to their courage and to their knowledge of the marketplace? Surely they had to be able to guess that the market for 'full-featured point-and-shoot' cameras would eventually rebound, right? Or maybe this is what happened--
To quote the Joker, admonishing the mobsters who were afraid of The Caped Crusader, in The Dark Knight:
'What happened...did your balls drop off?'
3. Imagine the 2025-era technology and imaging abilities Canon could pack into an RX100-sized body (1 inch sensor size)...or...the technology and imaging abilities they could put into an 'M300' candy bar (no viewfinder) or even an M6MkIII (add-on viewfinder)--both of which utilize a Canon APS-C sensor for imaging.
...I just love the Old Man FL post here because, for literally two decades now...I've aimed to supply my family with pix (especially travel pix) and myself with pix that fit in with my own hobbies. Many, many times (especially for travel pix)...small-and-light bodies and lenses are what is called, in chemistry, the 'Limiting Reagent'.
I know the M is dead. But the notions behind the creation of the M...are not dead.
I very much look forward to seeing what Canon has in mind here...

Canon's G7X series' last update was in 2019. They are slow learners.
They also removed separate sales figures of Compact Cameras from their quarterly financial documents, because they decided that they were no longer important enough to mention.
