So the big question is where Canon will going to use the wide angle compact zoom lens made for 1″ sensor based camera may be — Canon G3X Mark II ?
Canon G3X is announced weeks days ago so its too early to talk about the next version of the camera.
But if we look at the latest patent revealed by patent hunting blog egmai a Canon is working on lens by having similar focal-length of current G3X camera. So from the focal length of the lens we have no doubt in saying that the lens patent was developed for next version of G3X camera.
However it’s a just a patent and there are lot of steps involved when a patent becomes a real product.’

What does this new design add? Same zoom range and same brightness, maybe cheaper to make?
Current G3X is 8.8 to 220. So how 9 to 240 is super wide? It is little less wider than current G3X
This is not super wide angle
The 2.7x crop factor of a 1″ sensor makes this 24mm-680mm equivalent.

I am a user of Canon G1X Mark II and it creates excellent details with creamy bokeh when you are shooting at tele end.
