    powershotg5xii 728x462 - Pricing for the new PowerShot G series cameras and new RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS have leaked

    We expect to see the rumoured Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II and Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II to be announced on Wednesday evening (ET).

    The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III will cost $749USD, while the Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II will set you back at $899USD.

    The brand new RF mount superzoom, the RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS will launch at $899USD, and when kitted with the Canon EOS RP, that package will cost $2199USD.

    Specifications:

    Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II | Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III

    Correction: I can't read a calendar properly, and mistakenly said the announcement would come Monday night, but it will likely come the night of Wednesday, July 10, 2019 (Eastern Time).

    4. If RP + 24-240 were right under 2000USD..........

      Over the last year or so, Canon seems to have instant rebates live as soon as a product is announced. I wouldn't be surprised to see the RP/24-240 kit to hit $1999 quickly.
    5. The EF 35-350mm costs ~$2,400, or ~3x the price of the RF 24-240mm.

      As 240mm/6.3 is much smaller than 350mm/5.6, I suspect reviews would show the difference is due to lower IQ.
    7. That's a bit more than expensive than I was expecting for the 24-240, but I don't think it's unreasonable.

      I always figured Canon over-priced launch so they can use instant rebates/etc. to insulate against currency fluctuations for a while. I remember in Canada when a series of lenses' base prices were increased because the Canadian dollar fell (~2016) - it happened quietly, but was not well received by those that noticed. Actually, when I heard the rumour I went out and picked up a 70-200 f/2.8L ii at the previous base price. Sure enough I saved a few hundred dollars on that purchase because of the heads up! Thanks again for that!

      And who will be underselling the RP+RF 24-240 at $2199 or even offering a comparable to the 24-240? We shall see.
    9. Both the G5X II and G7X III are priced a little too high given the competition.

      Really? MSRP for G5X II (USD 899) is 25% below current Sony RX 100 VI street price (USD 1198 B&H) and on par with current Pana LX100 II street price (USD 897 B&H) ...

      While lower would of course be welcome I do find all 3 MSRP prices "rather sensible". Canon will also have left some room for cash backs . :-)

      Their main competition is not some Sony, but G7X II, unless they stop shipping it.
    12. Definitely wouldn’t put the G5X II on par with the RX100 VI, more like the RX100 IV.

      The 80D two-lens kit at Costco is $1300. I think if Canon wants to sell the EOS RP kit at Costco, it needs to drop the price to around $1800.

      why?


      The RP and the 24-240 will be a hot selling combination. As an all in one, low (relative) cost , single lens, travel setup..... nothing else comes close!

      yes. Especially when it comes as kit and with special discounts or cash back. And it will also get price for lens in white box down to 599 pretty soon. :-)

      Agreed

      2000usd is psychological limit, that's why I said that. Maybe price is right, I don't know without seeing performance of the lens.
    19. Both the G5X II and G7X III are priced a little too high given the competition.
      No they aren't...

      Even at the usual $1 to £1 Real World exchange rate, I'm surprised by how doable those prices are.
