PowerShot Announcements Tonight [CR3]

[domo_p1000]

Interesting: These announcements are a little earlier than normal and there's no PowerShot SXxx range replacement - these have been as regular as clockwork since 2008 (SX10).
I have been waiting for the SX1 replacement (also 2008) for way too long - perhaps Canon might oblige me with a second announcement (early-to-mid September)!

I'll keep an eye on s120. Will Canon be able to bring s120 to RX100 II level?

What I like about RX100 II:
1. Size - fits in jean pocket no problem
2. AF is fast - face detection is excellent
3. Flip screen - great to shoot kids at lower angle shots
4. Sharp at wide open
5. 1600ISO in low light looks really good

I'm wondering about this too. I bought my wife an RX 100 (Not II) in March for her birthday, and it is an awesome camera. From what I've heard the I and II are very similar strictly from an image quality standpoint. But yes, I will keep my eye on this S120, but I doubt it will touch the image quality of the RX100. Viewing the RX100 beside photos taken from my old Rebel XSi, I really can't tell the difference. Obviously my 5D3 blows the RX100 out of the water, but I feel like the RX100 is on another level when compared to most compact cameras. If the S120 can compete, I will be extremely impressed, especially at 9FPS.

With current specs, I don't see how that happen.
