Looks nice

 

[noncho]

Yep, looks like great little camera with good lens.

 

[retina]

this is interesting! specs wise looks a lot like the sony rx100 series, even with a suspicious 1" 20MP sensor

lens reach is better, 100mm f/2.8 is quite nice!

 

[Ivan Muller]

Nice, but where is the EVF???

 

[Dylan777]

Nice, but where is the EVF???

In RX100 III

 

[sanj]

Seems nice. I would have bought it but I prefer camera with EVF. For one simple reason - I wear glasses sometimes and find myself struggling to see focus in the LCD.
My 'casual' camera is Fuji XE2 but am looking out for something smaller.

Nice, but miss a viewfinder

Indeed. We'll see if it's the Sony sensor. That plus the longer lens plus real RAW files plus Canon's ergonomics/menus, we have a winner!

Re: The New Canon PowerShot G7 X YAWN

EVF? Or Hotshoe, 4K, or something.

Seems like something from 2012. LOL

Sorry Canon YAWN.

[LifeAfter]

To conquer the RX100 MkIII, it should have at least the EVF, "flexible" flash, and OF course the DR of Sony's sensors.

I'm quite sure that ergonomics and the menu's are best made by Canon, the material and finish are also. But anyway, EVF, DR, and potentially the "flipsable" flash would make it a winner.

And what about the PRICE?!!! Canonic PRICE.!!!
P.S. Don't forget that Sony has Zeiss lens, so that isn't an argument over Sony.

I agree, looks like a winner to me too! I'm in the same camp with several of the others though, the evf would be nice.. That and seeing the wifi feature, still makes me wonder why they didn't throw it in the 7D Mk2...

If my calculations are correct it's a 35mm equivalent to f4.9 to f7.6.

So, that's 100mm f7.6 in normal exposure values.

I wish they would have stuck this sensor in the SX60, they can't for marketing reasons because it would technically reduce the "zoom ratio" (unless they used the extra space to go really wide) but I still want maximum IQ from my superzoom compact.
The adjusted aperture for the SX60 (if it has the same 1/2.3" sensor size) would be f22.56 to f36.66, which is great since you'll never have to worry about limited DOF (so I tell myself in consolation).

Might be a semantic thing, but to be clear...it's f/7.6 in terms of DoF, but f/2.8 in terms of exposure (until you factor in ISO noise, anyway).

Looks like a great little camera, perhaps I'll be motivated to replace my G12. I'm a little confused about Canon's numbering, how do they go from G1X Mark II to G7X?

 

[distant.star]

.
And the picture (looking very manipulated) seems to even show a touch of red swoosh. Can we turn that into a merger rumor???

No they go from G16 to G7 X. The expo adjust dial and tilting screen are there to show the link.
But i wonder if will see a new S-series camera.

the red touch has been allready seen on the s120 limited. Here Nice uh?!

 

[Wally in Austin]

Looks nice any word on mic input? It's clear Sony set the market for good quality 1 inch cameras and Canon is doing something that doesn't look like their other kludgy mirrorless design. Nikon is trash talk in this arena for now primarily due to being way over priced. My wife has a RX 100 II and I am in the market for a 1 inch sensor camera and Canon for the first time ever just got my attention.

 

[JPAZ]

Hmmm. Maybe it is time to upgrade my G6! Well, when I want something small I've got my M. And, my wife is VERY happy with her RX1000iii 'cause she really wanted a viewfinder.
