LDS said:I find it more a "flat" design than a "retro" one, although old cameras were also "flat" due to the difficulties and costs of molding or machining curved sufaces. Don't know it this is also a way to keep production costs down. Anyway, although it doesn't look too different from the actual Gxx designs, it's not a Canon "conventional" design, especially since the M line didn't use this look (although I hope the next high end model takes some ideas from this).
I agree, no more retro than the Sony A7's which I think the G5X has more than a passing resemblance to. I get the feeling Canon are experimenting here. I'm imaging an upscale, apsc sensor and a EOSM mount.
I think this design is very interesting.
