A limited edition GX7 is an odd notion - it would be a lot of work to make it look like an AE-1 as an homage to its 50th anniversary, and it is not until 2027 that we get to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of Canon - I have one of the Canon Ixus IX240 Limited Edition Gold APS cameras, which marked the 60th anniversary - I suspect that your mock-up is not a million miles off for a 90th Anniversary G7 X model!! That said, the G7 X is available in black and in silver, so gold might be the next most likely model, unless they go white, like the PowerShot N and the S200. Sadly, any hardware change is unlikely to be considered as a 'limited edition' - Canon would be quick to push such changes as a completely new model. Time will tell!

Just the intelligence of anyone who would pay extra for gold paint.

No matter what they do, it won't be as pathetic as Leica's Lenny Kravitz Special Edition: A factory scratched and edge-worn Leica MP.

The faux brassing is silly. Earn that brassing!
