<p><strong>*UPDATE*

</strong>Is the below image a fake?</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/mirrorless.html" target="_blank">Northlight Images thinks so</a></strong>. I tend to agree as well, there is something off about the image.</p>

<li>Slimmer body, lighter weight</li>
<li>External EVF</li>
<li>24-120 f/2-3.9 Lens.</li>

Re: Canon PowerShot G2 X Image

Quite interesting, would be interested to see the full specs of this. The EVF looks to be detachable.

I have been looking for a smaller travel cam that is (almost) pocketable. The EOS M is interesting, but gets quite bulky if you add anything else than the EF-M 22mm. The Fuji X-E2 also has my attention, but its quite expensive and I not convinced about some of the lenses for that system.

no flash? and no flash + EVF? :-\ come on... that's sad! :-X
To me it looks like a built in pop up flash, much like the S120. On the right of the EVF there's a rectangular cut out, and below on the side there's a flash logo - that looks like it's next to a physical release switch to make the flash pop up. No more messing about with multiple button presses and looking at the screen to get the flash to work

Re: Canon PowerShot G1 X II Image

If the image is accurate it also appears to be missing:
- Exposure compensation dial (under the mode dial on the G1X)
- Front control wheel (under the shutter / zoom on the G1X)

Both of these changes seem strange for a 'G' series camera.

Re: Canon PowerShot G1 X II Image

This looks like Canon is trying to make it look like a mirrorless camera, rather than the rangefinder style of the current model, which I own and really like.

If the lens is as good as the current model's, then it should be a good thing, especially if they are using a similar sensor to the 70D with the dual pixel focussing.

Is it my imagination, or are there two control wheels on the lens?

Layout looks more like an S1xx series camera than a G1X successor. If it is a G1X successor, then the compensation dial is gone and adjustments are done via the universal dial in the rear. That would be strange.

The G1X has that bumpy section on the lens; but it is for grip, not a control wheel.

Having two such sections, with one close to the camera, is different - so perhaps there is a control wheel.

The current model is mirrorless as are all Canon P&S cameras. They just do not have interchangeable lenses. A rangefinder camera is something totally different.

Definitely looks more like the S120 and RX100 than the current G1X or even G16.
